First up, if you believe it (and I don’t, but share your thoughts in the comments and let’s discuss), there’s a post at TheForce.net about whether we’re going to learn the title of Episode VIII on May 4th, but in the piece, they also flag the two different rumors of what the title could be. Click through if you want to see them.
This much I’ll tell you here: They’re both at least five words long, which is longer than any other Star Wars title, and they don’t follow the pattern of an action-oriented title like the two previous middle-of-the-trilogy movies.
