While the excitement has continued to simmer ever since Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker concluded the sequel trilogy in 2019, fans can only speculate about the future of the franchise.

Now the fog of uncertainty is lifting, because a familiar title for the film after the sequel has emerged: Star Wars: Episode X – A New Beginning. This title suggests that the legacy of a galaxy far, far away is about to begin a massive new chapter, but at this time this has not been confirmed by either The Walt Disney Company or Lucasfilm.

Disney and Lucasfilm have been notoriously tight-lipped since the conclusion of the controversial sequel trilogy, with only fleeting mentions of new projects from directors such as Taika Waititi and Shawn Levy – and all the confusion surrounding Patty Jenkins’ problematic Rogue Squadron.

Daisy Ridley will reprise her role as Rey in a film set 15 years after the events of JJ Abrams’. The Rise of SkywalkerAlthough early rumors suggested the project as New Jedi Orderthe new reports mentioned above suggest that the official title could be A new beginning.

If the name survives, it would fit perfectly into the optimistic tradition that Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977) and Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens (2015). In this latest film, Rey steps into her new role as a master of the Force – succeeding Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) – and works to revive the Jedi Order after her decisive battle against Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid).
