“Forces of Destiny”

The title sounds like a children’s TV show.

It also sounds like the name of a shitty fan film which admittedly is what I thought about Episode VII’s title being The Force Awakens until I actually saw the film. The title makes sense to me now and I’m fine with it now.

The title sounds like it was made up by losers for a clickbait article.

FTFY
I remember reading something a couple years ago claiming that VII was “A New Dawn” based on trademark stuff, but that just turned out to be a book.

Besides, we all know it’s gonna be:

Episode VIII: The First Order Strikes Back
Episode IX: Rey-turn Of The Jedi

.

There’s no way they use “Force” in the title again. I’m betting “Forces of Destiny” is some kind of shitty cell phone game or something.

That’s a very good point and with that my mind is at ease. Thank you.

Star Wars: Episode VIII – We Don’t Have to Force It On You; You’ll Take It Gladly

I can imagine Trump saying something along these lines.

There’s no way that’s the title. Remember “A New Dawn”? “The Ancient Fear”?

Apparently Billie Lourd will have a “bigger” role in ep. VIII;

(Of course “bigger” doesn’t really mean that much considering she only had one short line in TFA.)

Rian Johnson has recent opened up a little about Luke and Rey in VIII:

“I don’t want to skip ahead two years,” Johnson says. “I want to see the very next moment of what happens.” How Rey and Luke relate to each other is the key relationship in Episode VIII, and Johnson says “a large part of the movie” will be spent addressing why Luke’s there and what he’ll do next. Like Luke, Rey has been pulled into a bigger world by connecting with the Force, “but part of what’s she’s dealing with is the realization that she has this power and this gift,” Johnson adds. “She’s taking her first step to coming to terms with this thing inside her that she never knew was there and is just starting to reveal its potential.” - Rian Johnson

I think it’s going to be very interesting seeing one of our deal with the weirdness and suddenness of having such powers. Luke and Anakin are just okay with being Force Sensitive whereas Rey being confused about The Force could make for a nice inner journey for Rey. Also I wonder what her opinion on things in the Galaxy will be once she fully comes to terms with her Force Sensitivity and get’s some training. Kylo feels as though Force Sensitives should rule over those who are deaf to The Force; perhaps Rey will come to the same conclusion.

I don’t think she will go that route if they are planning another trilogy after this one. At some point Rey has to have a child (seeing the direction Disney headad, probably she will somehow have an orphan child, as anakin, luke, an herself were). And probably she will make a couple with one of the three male characters of this trilogy. Provided one of them, the force user is probably her cousin, then nope, I don’t think there will be an anti-muggle Rey.

Preferably with all three of them – at the same time.

It’s possible Rey could procreate. Daisy Ridley has stated that she doesn’t see Rey as a Jedi so that could entail her pursuing a relationship in a future film. Imagine having two ultra powerful Force Sensitive bloodlines? Which is assuming she isn’t a Skywalker of course.

I…guess I’m okay with that title. Hmmm.

I take it that means the film will be very Luke-centric. Which we already knew but this emphasizes it. The red is very evocative, one hopes that isn’t a hint at his death.

Something else to keep in mind, Jedi is both singular and plural.
