“according to regular leaker MTTSH, the title of the movie will be Heir to the Empire”:

and the leaker themselves: https://twitter.com/MyTimeToShineH/status/1658472128189186049
 

I hope that is not the title. I can see it being the title. But I really hope it is not.

Oh, no.

Please don’t do this, Filoni.

But we can’t turn back. Fear is their greatest defense. I doubt if the actual security there is any greater than it was on Aquilae or Sullust. And what there is is most likely directed towards a large-scale assault.

I think the leak is probably made up. I also want to trust that Dave Filoni wouldn’t appropriate a beloved legends title like that, but that’s a bit harder since he’s already kinda done it with Tales of the Jedi.

Are they going to cast actors to play Luke, Han and Leia in Heir to the Empire, deepfake or just plain not use those characters? Personally i think they should just cast actors. Deepfake is so video gamey.

If I were in the situation and trying to make a good movie with good effort, I would recast. I would prefer that they just not use them, which is probably what will happen.

All I know is I have zero interest in a Mando movie…this “Thrawn movie” or the Rey movie. 🤷‍♂️ After Andor season 2 it’s just all bleak and weak.
