How is the determination made if something is canon or not?  Is there a governing body?

It's an open question whether or not Vader would be able to father children after his crippling injuries.
The relevant part of his body still seems to be there...  ;)



I wonder if he can still get it up.

"Canon" is silly. Life Day is as real as the Death Star.

Yeah. There's a committee for that and Kennedy is in charge.

Dunno why Star wars types want to bolt on a continuity to a storyline that doesn't have it and doesn't need it.  Peter Jackson made six successful Lord of the Rings movies and didn't worry about continuity.

Josh Gad questions Daisy Ridley about the title. Have you guys already discussed if Jedi in the title is plural?

Yes. I think it is.

I mentioned it somewhere before but Disney in Canada always releases titles in both French & English at the same time. For Last Jedi, they didn't release a French name.

It would give away whether Jedi is plural or not. Le Dernier Jedi / Les Derniers Jedi.

That gave me an idea, from imdb.com:

Germany   Star Wars: Der letzte Jedi
Italy   Star Wars: Episodio VIII - L'ultimo Jedi

I don't know Italian but the German at least seems singular.

It's singular in Italian. No official Spanish title yet, but "Return of the Jedi" was singular over here.

In Italian it's singular and masculine, so it'¡s obviously about Luke.
