Star Wars 9 title: Name 'leaks' for Episode IX but Reddit isn't convinced

The battle to find out the Star Wars : Episode IX title rages on and the latest guesswork involves a supposed leak - and a one word name.

There's been several guesses over the past few months as to what it could be, but the latest from Ain't It Cool is said to come from a person in the know.

Take from that what you will.

Disney and Lucasfilm are yet to confirm the actual name and with Star Wars Celebration around the corner we're more likely to get it then.

The Ain't It Cool report claims it's Star Wars: Skywalkers.

Yep, that's a plural Skywalker which AIC links to Yoda seeming to hint there's more Skywalkers...

The report says a "super secret spy" who "has a close eye and hands on some cool Star Wars IX s**e" gave the game away.

But before you get all excited, Reddit has picked up the rumour and doesn't seem to keen on the idea.

"This ain’t it, bruv," said one fan.

Another said: "I could see it being like “Legend of the Skywalkers” or something but the title ain’t gonna be just one word."

Another added: "I think it’s by far the worst title suggestion I read for EPIX"

“Knowing JJ Abrams that name is too spoilery to be real. Skywalkers? Meaning more than one. Last I checked that name is gone when Luke died. Only Leia and Ben are alive," said another fan. “Sure they have the blood, but that name is pretty much gone.”

It does seem unlikely, but then you never know.

Star Wars: Episode IX marks the end of the Skywalker saga bringing the long running story arc to an end. With Luke dying in Last Jedi fans have wondered what will now happen.

It seems more likely the franchise will set up the future as there's a new trilogy on the way. There's the TV series The Mandalorian, a new Disney Star Wars land and a spin-off set of films.

Star Wars: Episode IX is out released in cinemas on December 19, 2019.
