A lot of rumours are circulating on the internet about the name of the new Star Wars: Episode IX. Both titles of Episode VII: The force awakens and Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, were revealed almost a year before the movie was released in theatres. However, the 9th episode will be released on the 12th of December 2019 and the mystery remains. This has led the fans to suggest and discuss their favourite titles and theories.
According to Jack Kleinman, a science-fiction blogger, the title might emphasise the fact that this movie marks the end of Star Wars as we know it. Indeed, it will be the last episode of the Skywalkers saga. Therefore, he believes the famous family name will be in the title or a least there will be a sense of closure. Thus, the two titles he thinks are the most probable are: “Fate of the Skywalkers?” or “Destiny of the Skywalkers?”.
Sci-fi fans have also shared their ideas all across the internet. “The Will of the force” or “The New Order” are the two favourite titles of people discussing the matter on Reddit, a US website discussion.
The newest fans theory states that a line of Luke in Episode VIII might have given a hint. “Ren: I’m sure you are! The Resistance is dead! The war is over! And when I kill you, I will have killed the last Jedi! Luke: Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong. The Rebellion is reborn today. The war is just beginning. And I will not be the last Jedi. (Emphasis added)”. Fans believe that because it was one of the last words of Luke before he died “The Rebellion is Reborn” might be the title of the new episode.
However, recently the production announced: “It’s a bleak title. If your guess has Rise, Dawn, New, Birth, Rebirth, Redeem, Reformed, Hope, Spark, etc… you are way off the mark.” Which is very likely to disprove a lot of fans theories. On the 13th of February, actors of the show revealed on social media that: "Only J.J. Abrams knows! It's good to have secrets on Star Wars." This makes the title even more mysterious and we are all dying to know what the new title is going to be.
We are going to have to be patient until the title is revealed and hope that it will live up to our expectations. What do you think the title will be? Let us know.
