We’ve already had a couple of rumours as to the title for next year’s Star Wars: Episode VIII, with a report in February suggesting it will be going by Star Wars: Tale of the Jedi Temple followed by another report in March suggesting Star Wars: The Order of the Dark Side.

So far we’ve had no confirmed on either of those, and now we can throw in another possible contender, with a video surfacing on Reddit which claims to show a promotional poster for Star Wars Celebration Europe revealing that the follow-up to Star Wars: The Force Awakens is going by the title of Star Wars: Fall of the Resistance…

UPDATE: Here’s a response to the rumour from Lucasfilm’s Pablo Hidalgo…

What do you make of Star Wars: Fall of the Resistance as a title? Let us know in the comments below…
