   The Last Jedi

   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?
