Dubious Rumour: Star Wars: Episode VIII title is Tale of the Jedi Temple

February 29, 2016 by Gary Collinson

There are rumours, and then there are really, really dubious rumours. This one falls firmly into the latter camp…

So, we found out last week from Carrie Fisher that Star Wars: Episode VIII is going by the working title of ‘Space Bear’, and despite the film being almost two years away from release, we now have our first rumour as to the title for the Rian Johnson-directed film: Star Wars: Tale of the Jedi Temple.

The claims stem from Reddit, and here’s the “evidence” to support it…

The rumour also claims that the title will be unveiled on Star Wars Day (May 4th), so we don’t have too long to wait until this one is debunked. But, if – and it’s a big if – this really is the title, what do you make of it? Let us know in the comments below…

Star Wars: Episode VIII is set for release on December 15th 2017 and sees returning cast members Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Carrie Fisher (Leia Organa), Adam Driver (Kylo Ren), Daisy Ridley (Rey), John Boyega (Finn), Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron), Lupita Nyong’o (Maz Kanata), Domhnall Gleeson (General Hux), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Gwendoline Christie (Captain Phasma) and Andy Serkis (Supreme Leader Snoke) joined by new additions Benicio Del Toro (Guardians of the Galaxy), Laura Dern (Jurassic Park) and Kelly Marie Tran (Ladies Like Us).
