Looks Like The Title Of Rian Johnson's STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII May Have Leaked

A leaked video features footage of a sign that'll reportedly be unveiled at the upcoming Star Wars Celebration, and it seems to have revealed the official title of the follow up to The Force Awakens...

The video below was supposedly posted to Reddit (Via CBR) by a member of the Star Wars Celebration staff. As you can see, if seems to reveal that the title of Rian Johnson's follow-up to J.J. Abrams' The Force Awakens is going to be:

Star Wars: Fall Of The Resistance.


Now there's always the chance this is a hoax (though it's a very good one if so), or that this is from some other officially licensed Star Wars tie-in, but it does sound like a plausible title to the second film in this new trilogy. It's simple, effective, and like The Empire Strikes back it suggests a darker plot after the relatively optimistic (well, aside from the whole Han Solo thing) first installment.

Expect this to be either debunked or confirmed fairly soon - but if it was to be the official title, what would you think?

Star Wars: Episode VIII is set to hit theaters on Dec. 15, 2017.

It doesn't flow as well as previous titles. And Fall of seems a little cliche. They can do better.

@AquaArthur - Didn't see enough in "Awakens." Just hope we see more :/
SuperCat
SuperCat - 5/20/2016, 10:38 AM
@AquaArthur - Yep. "Rogue" too :(

@SuperCat - That's actually one of the things I liked in Awakens. The less sabers, the more epic they are when used.

I just hope we don't see Vader using the saber against non-force users. This would be confirmation they don't really get him.

@Fogs - I'm with you on that one. I like it when sabers don't come out every ten minutes. Makes the duels much more exciting.

It's okay. But let's be honest, its nowhere near as bad as some of the dumbest Star Wars titles like Empire Strikes Back, Phantom Menace, and Attack of the Clones.

@MrDandy - I actually liked Phantom Menace, it comes off as ominous.

But why would they put a spoiler right there in the title? So I doubt this is real.
