'Star Wars Episode 8' News, Updates: 'Star Wars 8' Title Leaked, Reports Say; 'Rogue One' Wants To See If Fans Want 'Star Wars' Annually
Several reports are coming out that a leak of "Star Wars Episode 8" title might have just been released by either Lucasfilm, Disney, among others. Although these reports are not consistent with the source of the news, the title is pretty much the same.
Coming from "Star Wars" previous installment titled "The Force Awakens", reports say that "Star Wars Episode 8" will be dubbed as "Forces Of Destiny". The title leaked when reporters found out about a copyright filed by Star Wars' production company revealing "Star Wars: Forces Of Destiny" as the next release. The company is said to have filed it through the European Union Intellectual Property Office.
However, since the number "8" or the numerical symbols "VIII" was not indicated on the documents. This means that the copyright document might possibly be for something else. Aside from "Forces Of Destiny", earlier reports this year also claimed that "Star Wars Episode 8" might be dubbed as "Tale of The Jedi Temple" or "The Order Of The Dark Side".
The earlier confirmed titles connect with "Star Wars Episode 8" recent story development well, reports say. However, this recently leaked one does not blend well with the story. Critics say it might be some game of some kind or just an event which the company is setting for the future.
Meanwhile, Disney's recent "Star Wars" experiment title "Rogue One" has set the tone on what to expect on "Star Wars Episode 8". With the spin-off release, the company found out that the "Star Wars" series still very much steals viewers' interest, even after all the years. Reports say "Rogue One" might have earned over $167 million on its premiere date. This is Disney's way of knowing whether the "Star Wars" series deserve to get an annual movie. By the looks of it, it seems like the test is moving towards a very positive direction.
