Another title rumour for Star Wars: Episode VIII

This could get real old, real fast…

Following on from a rather dubious rumour this past weekend suggesting that Star Wars: Episode VIII is going by the title of Tale of the Jedi Temple, we now have another dubious rumour suggesting that Star Wars: Episode VIII is going by the title of The Order of the Dark Side.

This latest report comes from The Dubrovnik Times (via Jedi-News), who also claim to have detailed on the upcoming shoot in Croatia, which will take place between March 9th and March 16th and is said to include Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) and Daisy Ridley (Rey).

While the chances of this being the actual title of Star Wars: Episode VIII are probably 3720 to 1, I do think I prefer The Order of the Dark Side to Tale of the Jedi Temple. How about you?

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).

  Good luck with that
  - MikeDK
    Yeah, if he’s tired of Star Wars, he’s shit outta luck.

  Too bad there’s Star Wars related movie coming out every year for the next five years announced so far, and there’s most likely will be more after that.

They’re both stupid titles, but then so is The Force Awakens.
- MikeDK
  “A New Hope” isn’t exactly the best title ever, either.
  A New Hope, The Force Awakens, The Empire Strikes Back (really, they strike back, do they?) – they are all dumb titles, but we forgive the original trilogy because they are dear to us. Because we grew up getting used to those titles before we started thinking about things like calling some titles dumb.
  - Joseph Whittle
    This is kinda true. Lots of criticisms that are leveled at TFA could easily be flung at the original trilogy but we give that a pass ’cause we grew up with it. But even by these standards, those titles are terrible.
