It's finally here! The debut of 'The Last Jedi,' is happening this week and we don't know about you, but this is probably better than Christmas. In honor of the event, we've compiled a list of things you probably didn't know about the film.
1. The meaning behind the title, ‘The last Jedi’ is open to interpretation.
However, actor Mark Hamill has an inkling that it refers to his character, Luke Skywalker.
During an interview with Uproxx, Hamill stated that “when you read The Force Awakens script, the very first words are, ‘Luke Skywalker has vanished. But down later in the crawl, and I can’t quote it exactly, I saw on Twitter this morning, ‘until Skywalker, the last Jedi, is destroyed,’…And I was wondering why they would use that phrase if it was used that way because it specifies me. And I think it’s very ambiguous. Is the last Jedi Leia? Is it me?…Is it someone we’ve never met before? Or is it Rey? Because she seems to have the Force as well.”
2. However, ’The Last Jedi,’ when translated into other languages, it is translated in plural form
Could this mean it is referring to multiple Jedi?
3. There’s a load of familiar faces in the new film
Finn (John Boyega), Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie), Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis), General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson), Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong’o), R2-D2 (Jimmy Vee), C-3PO (Anthony Daniels), BB-8 (voiced by both Bill Hader and Ben Schwartz), Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) and General Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) are all set to appear in the movie.
4. As well as some new ones
Laura Dern and Benicio Del Toro are also on board.

Disney CEO Bob Iger said, “Her performance remains as it is in VIII. In Rogue One, we had some digital character. We are not doing that with Carrie.”
6. Keep an eye out for a cameo
Heartthrob, Tom Hardy makes a brief appearance, as Daniel Craig did in ‘The Force Awakens.’
The Last Jedi tickets are now on sale ready for the official debut on Wednesday 13 December.
