With all the hype about when the title and the teaser trailer for Star Wars Episode 9
will be dropped, I thought I would go over some of the titles that are being thrown around
in the news.
Let me know which one is your favourite or your thoughts and theories for Episode 9!
Number 1)Star Wars: Son of Darkness
One of the strongest contenders, Star Wars: Son of Darkness is also one of the more menacing
titles.
The title itself appears to refer to one character in particular, likely Kylo Ren, however, Luke
Skywalker could also technically be a son of darkness.
What is interesting in particular about this title, is that it is actually mentioned by
Snoke in the Last Jedi (“My worthy apprentice, Son of Darkness, heir apparent to Lord Vader”).
It is not unheard of for the titles of new movies to be found in the earlier films of
a series.
Number 2)Star Wars: The New Order
Next we have Star Wars: The New Order, which is definitely one of my favorites.
It is a strong contender for a variety of reasons.
First, it maintains the 3 word title scheme that has been present throughout the entire
trilogy.
Second, there are a couple of different “Orders” that it could be referring to.
It could be referring to the fall of the First Order and the establishment of a New Order,
or it could be referring to the re-establishment of the Jedi Order.
Similarly, there is also the title The New Order Rises.
This title does not sound as epic as the three word title, but would likely refer to the
same Orders that I just mentioned.
Either way, there is something about this title I like.
It gives us a glimmer of hope that there could be big change coming to the galaxy.
3)Star Wars: The Knights of Ren
Next we have Star Wars: The Knights of Ren, which obviously refers to the much-hyped,
yet still unseen Knights of Ren, unless you count Rey’s vision of course.
I am not sure how I feel about this title, considering we have yet to see these guys.
I guess it would be appropriate if they became a central part of the final film, but considering
we still have not seen them, I do not have high hopes.
4)Star Wars: Balance of the Force
Star Wars: Balance of the Force might be the most accurate of all the potential titles.
Bringing balance to the force has been a central theme throughout the entire saga.
Throughout the sequels specifically, there has been a large focus on the Light Side and
the Dark Side, between Rey and Kylo.
It would be very appropriate, if the end of the Skywalker Saga finally found the balance
it has always been searching for.
5)Star Wars: Ashes of the Empire
Nest we have Star Wars: Ashes of the Empire.
While this name sounds epic, I think that it is too late in the game to use it.
It sounds to me more like something that should have been introduced in Episode 7, as a reminder
of what used to be in the galaxy.
This title is looking to the past, rather than the future and for that reason I do not
think it will be used.
6)Star Wars: A Spark of Hope
Another possible title is Star Wars: A Spark of Hope.
This title is taken from the title crawl of the Last Jedi and is a strong theme at the
end of the fim.
I like this title because contrary to the previous title, it emphasizes a focus on the
future and what could be in store for the galaxy.
7)Star Wars: A Last Hope
Similar to the previous title, Star Wars: A Last Hope definitely has a different meaning.
To me, this title is a lot more ominous and could refer to what little hope there is left
for the rebellion, for the Jedi, for Kylo Ren and for the galaxy in general.
While the title is definitely a possibility, I personally do not really like it.
It sounds a bit too negative to me and I would prefer something a bit more optimistic.
8)Star Wars: The Chosen One
Next we have Star Wars: The Chosen One.
While this is a pretty cool and accurate sounding title, I do not think it has relevance for
this portion of the series.
For me, Anakin Skywalker was supposed to be the chosen one, and therefore the use of this
title now wouldn’t really make sense.
That is, unless we do get Hayden Christensen reprising his role like it has been speculated.
However, I feel if they were going to use this title, it should have been back in the
prequels.
9)Star Wars: Reign of Darkness
Finally, we have Star Wars: Reign of Darkness.
Again it is a cool sounding title, but I think at this point in the series, unless Disney
is going to end with the Dark side winning, it would not be appropriate.
It almost sounds as if the darkness will continue even after this film.
So unless they plan on adding more films to the Skywalker saga, which I feel Disney should
leave alone at this point, I believe they shouldn’t use this title.
And there you have it!
