Duct tape, which has within a single strip both a light side and a dark side.

Completely contradicting what I posted earlier:

Kathleen Kennedy confirms Carrie Fisher won't be in 'Star Wars: Episode IX'

Sorry I posted bad info.

Kugai:
How do you break the Jedi/Sith Cycle?

You find another path.

Case:
Last Jedi singular or plural? The official SW 8 titles in French, Spanish and German translate as "The last Jedi (plural)", seemingly clarifying the confusion.

The German title e.g. is "Die letzten Jedi" (plural) as opposed "Der/Die letzte Jedi" - since German is an inflected language, it would be impossible not to specify singular/plural (and gender, if singular) in the title - it's not just pronouns, everything is gendered. However, director Rian Johnson said that in his mind it's "last Jedi", singular. Which could mean ... anything, really (I mean: He's only the director, wtf does he know ...?).

For forumites that can read Kraut: http://www.filmstarts.de/nachrichten/18511798.html The article also mentions that there was similar confusion prior to ROTJ's release in December '83: Its German title is "Die Rückkehr der Jedi-Ritter" - i.e. "Return of the Jedi-Knights" - so they got a little smart with the audience back then: while arguably, it did feature two Jedi (Luke and Yoda), the movie never showed more than one living Jedi at any given time.

The German plural may also hint at another 'deception': Assuming there's really only one Jedi in the movie, choosing the singular form for the title would then have forced them to specify the gender of that last Jedi - either "Der letzte Jedi" (male) or "Die letzte Jedi" (female) - making it a major spoiler (So maybe there really is just one Jedi left (Luke), and Rey is something else, but Disney Germany went with the plural to avoid spoilering).

TL;DR: As the Huns say: "Nichts genaues weiss man nicht"  (roughly: "No specifics unknown")

BenRG:
It clarifies two things for me:

1) Ezra Bridger is not alive at this point in the time-line (or, if he is alive, is no longer identifying himself as a Jedi);

2) Rey will never train an apprentice of her own in the traditions of the Jedi.

To me, it all fits into this implication that the Jedi-Sith conflict is drawing to a conclusion. It's going to be a draw with something new rising up from their combined ashes. Something to do with the Balance.

I wonder... Will the Bendu play a role in the outcome to all this? Some people are asking if Rey will be a 'Grey Jedi' but the point is that a Jedi is a disciple of the Light as a Sith is a disciple of the Dark. The followers of the Grey Path seem to use the name 'Bendu'. I wonder if Maz Kanata may be a Bendu adept too. Some things she said in The Force Awakens suggest to me that she has hidden depths.
