Is it just me and my wishful thinking or are there others who think like me?
No matter how I look at the ending of the Last Jedi I cannot but think that Luke meant Ben as the last Jedi. I don’t think he meant Rey at all.
I know I know what is she talking about??!!! But think about it!
It was Ben who had actually received years of proper Jedi training.
Being force sensitive doesn’t automatically make one a Jedi ( see Leia ).
So I am very sorry but Rey is not a Jedi, she is a Force user ( and nooo being able to wield a light saber doesn’t make one a Jedi either ) which doesn’t mean she can’t become one.
Wouldn’t it be quite ironic if, in all his hatred towards the Jedi, Ben forgot the Jedi won’t end until he himself dies? Perhaps his uncle wanted to remind him that.
”I won’t be the last Jedi” could mean a few things:
1. I won’t be the last one cuz there will be more after me and Rey will make sure of that by training new Jedi Knights.
However, i don’t think this is how it will turn out since he had spent a bigger portion of the movie getting out of his way to make Rey understand the Jedi should come to an end. Even Yoda said they should so why would Luke change his mind at the end?
2. Ben is/will be the last Jedi and when he dies Rey will create a new order of Force users from the ashes of the Jedi.
This better not happen. But with everyone including Yoda himself saying Ben is lost I really don’t know what the future holds for the newly self-appointed supreme leader.
3.Ben is/will be the last Jedi cuz after the war he and Rey will train a new generation of Force sensitive kids.
Isn’t this the future we all hope for? A new order of Grey force users?
All I pray for is that Ben doesn’t die and Disney doesn’t achieve peace in the force and the galaxy by wiping out the troublesome Skywalkers.
So what do you guys think? Let me know in comments
