The New Theme For Episode VIII is “The Ultimate Jedi Who Wastes All the Other Jedi and Eats Their Bones”

Apparently John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats was joking around with Star Wars: The Last Jedi writer and director Rian Johnson about the title of the film, and… well… a song happened. You see, apparently “The Last Jedi” is actually the Ultimate Jedi that all Jedi eventually have to confront, and that Ultimate Jedi kills and eats the bones of every other Jedi.

You see, he needs the calcium.

And man, that Ultimate Jedi going to be pretty annoyed when he finds out Kylo Ren’s been just been burning the bones of his enemies. I mean, that’s just a waste when you think about it.

So @mountain_goats and I were joking around, one thing led to another, he recorded this song and now it’s canon. https://t.co/0vCdZTO6iO
