While many originally believed it was an [allusion to Luke Skywalker](http://time.com/4649004/mark-hamill-star-wars/ "undefined")—as those words appear to directly apply to him in _The Force Awakens_ opening crawl—thanks to the translation of the title in other languages, it looks like _The Last Jedi_ is plural rather than singular. According to several foreign-language posters for the film—including those in Spanish, French and German—the “Jedi” in question refers to more than one individual. This means there could be a few different combinations of Force-sensitive characters in play. > [](https://twitter.com/argonautiche/status/832556655921528832) > [](https://twitter.com/StarWarsFR/status/832502743378051072) Mark Hamill—who plays Luke—may have said it best: “I think it’s very ambiguous. Is the last Jedi Leia? Is it me?,” he told [Uproxx](http://uproxx.com/movies/mark-hamill-star-wars-the-last-jedi-brigsby-bear-sundance/4/ "undefined"). “Is it someone we’ve never met before? Or is it Rey? Because she seems to have the Force as well. So we’ll all wait and see.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4676983/star-wars-the-last-jedi-plural/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4676983/star-wars-the-last-jedi-plural/"},"headline":"A Big Clue About the Next Star Wars Movie Is Hiding in Plain Sight","datePublished":"2017-02-21T17:57:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T03:26:15.747Z","description":"This is big, Star Wars fans","url":"https://time.com/4676983/star-wars-the-last-jedi-plural/","keywords":["movies","Star Wars topic","Star Wars Episode VIII","Star Wars: The Last Jedi","The Last Jedi"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4676983/star-wars-the-last-jedi-plural/","name":"A Big Clue About the Next Star Wars Movie Is Hiding in Plain Sight"}}]}] ```
