      Hello everybody.               Considering that recently Lucasfilm announced the title for its newest       installment of the Star Wars saga, "The Last Jedi", a couple of questions came       to my mind.               Here in Brazil everybody is commenting about how hard it will be to       translate this title to Portuguese without giving spoilers, because the       English language allows it to be very open.               I mean, "The Last Jedi", doesn't give us a clue if it's on singular or       plural, and if the "last jedi" is a he or a she. :) Of course, we know that       Luke Skywalker is the "Last Jedi", but you know. :)               My question here for this forum is: Is the word "knight" gender-free?               Knight could be used for eiher a male or female subject?              Flavio              ...
