   Hi, Flavio Bessa -> All!   
   I read your message from  24.01.2017 14:21   
   about The Last Jedi.   
      
      
    FB>          Considering that recently Lucasfilm announced the title for its   
    FB> newest installment of the Star Wars saga, "The Last Jedi", a couple of   
    FB> questions came to my mind.   
      
    FB>          Here in Brazil everybody is commenting about how hard it will   
    FB> be to translate this title to Portuguese without giving spoilers,   
    FB> because the English language allows it to be very open.   
      
    FB>          I mean, "The Last Jedi", doesn't give us a clue if it's on   
    FB> singular or plural, and if the "last jedi" is a he or a she. :) Of   
    FB> course, we know that Luke Skywalker is the "Last Jedi", but you know. :)   
      
    FB>          My question here for this forum is: Is the word "knight"   
    FB> gender-free?   
      
    FB>          Knight could be used for eiher a male or female subject?   
      
   Knight IMHO is a male noun, and Webster told me the same. As a variant you can   
   translate it: "He Was the Last Jedi" ;-)   
      
   Bye, Flavio!
