“Recent reports statw that the official title for the film is Star Wars: Episode X – A New Beginning, the Production List claims. “While some sources previously speculated on the title being “New Jedi Order,” it is now clear that the latter was simply a working title.” Neither Disney nor Lucasfilm have confirmed the new movie’s title, but A New Beginning is certainly fitting for the latest entry in the Skywalker Saga.


While the Rey movie has been colloquially called the “New Jedi Order” movie for the last 12 months, a new production report has been shared online. The report reveals that the current name of the Star Wars movie is allegedly Star Wars: Episode X — A New Beginning.

Hopefully the story focuses on the light side killing off the dark side and forcing an imbalance in the galaxy, thus making those on the dark side scarce and limited and needing to rise to bring balance to the force..

So after f*up Luke in the sequel trilogy, it looks they will give Luke's EU story arc to Rey.

What a sad thing Disney Star Wars is...

 

[AJUMP23]

I think that is an internal thing, because they know they need a reset.

 

[Meicyn]

With a new Jedi order, maybe they can finally make Finn a Jedi, instead of relegating him to cowardly minstrel status thanks to Rian Johnson.

 

[winjer]

Star Wars just keeps getting worse and worse with every new movie.

 

[ManaByte]

Production List is bullshit.

Inside the Magic is a culture war clickbait site that makes up bullshit.

It’s not Episode X. They’re only doing standalone movies now.

 

[Billbofet]

Had they not turned Finn into a comic relief, screaming baby, I would much rather see a trilogy with him as the main.
Rey, while I don't hate her like some, is the least interesting character to ever be in a SW movie - and I'm including Lobot.

 

[clarky]

Really should be called Episode X: we really fucked this franchise in the ass.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Let it die

Not saying this particular rumour is true, but your brain is cooked if you think they're not going to make a Star Wars X. It's maybe the safest bet in Hollywood

 

[Disco Dave]

I hope they expand on the lesbian witch's.

May as well enjoy what I can about the franchise now.

They’re making 4 movies. They’re all standalone. No more trilogies.

 

[jason10mm]

They are gonna be "Beggining" folks to come watch it...

 

[Space Runaway]

A New Beginning?

Spoiler

 

[willothedog]

Can't wait, the Star Wars franchise is in such good hands these days....

 

[analog_future]

Wow, they care so little about the films nowadays that they're blatantly misspelling words in their titles now.

 

[jufonuk]

Not sure how interested I am. Unless they make the last two films some fever dream by Han Solo. lol.

 

[Rival]

I look forward to seeing just how bad Star Wars can get.

 

[Draugoth]

Star Wars is already dead, we are just watching the Funeral

No. Keep going, I want to see how much money they can burn. Once Disney have burned to the ground some small studio can buy the franchise for pennies on the dollar and make something actually good.

 

[Raven117]

They need to fill stop and find some writers and a director that actually respects the IP. Will never happen. But they should.

There is plenty of material there to write a deep and interesting film(s) on balance. On good and evil. They won’t. Because… lol.

 

[Disco Dave]

'Somehow Luke returned'.

That's the power of The Thread.

 

[HAYA8U5A]

[DeepEnigma]

They won’t. Because… lol.

They won't because Disney is a socio-political vehicle.

 

[clarky]

'Somehow Luke returned'.

I'd actually take that.

Actually maybe not, i don't think i could watch them fuck the character up twice.

 

[Sleepwalker]

People still watch these movies?

 

[Raven117]

They won't because Disney is now a socio-political vehicle.

Yup. And look, I think hardcore Star Wars fans are a bunch of window-lickers, but I can see how irritated they get when they see such potential still left in the IP and it gets jammed with a bunch of socio-political bs right on the nose instead of focusing on telling a great story.

 

[Kamina]

in before Palpatine returns

 

[VulcanRaven]

Rey was maybe the best part of the new movies so I'm somewhat interested. I didn't like what they did with her backstory.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Episode 10 can be a standalone movie. It doesn't need to start a new trilogy.

Are you being serious right now? Sometimes I can't tell when people are joking.

The only logical choice is.....send them to Earth!

Worked so well for Battlestar Galactica 1980....oh wait...

 

[Wildebeest]

At this point, they are beating the cash cow with a shovel to see if they can get any more milk.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Yes. Daisy Ridley was great as Rey but I didn't like what they did with her in the last movie. I wish there was an alternative cut of The Last Jedi with only the scenes with her, Luke and the ending.

 

[nush]

I was thinking about using reboot Battlestar as an example but I thought that would be too wordy and not the target audience of this topic.

Thank you for doing the legwork here.

Well, to be fair, the reboot of the reboot of BSG started off quite well, just that last season and a half kinda fell off the cliff.

 

[Liljagare]

No.

 

[Saber]

Get ready for a whole new level of diahea. Force is female, the incredibly cringe power song, lesbians(and the social message that the world hate them) everywhere, etc. If Acolyte isn't the biggest red flag you guys ever saw, I don't know what is. Meanwhile, enjoy the part where Anakin destroyed the Death Star killing a bunch of innocents and the fact that theres no good or evil in Star Wars.

 

[Raven117]

It was much more interesting her with her being a “nobody.” Shows the story can evolve past skywalker and palpatine. Ya know, the kind of social message Disney wants to tell (and should in this regard… that you can make your own fate), but nah.

 

[Punished Miku]

'Somehow Luke returned'.

Force ghosts can reincarnate. Everyone's back in their young bodies, but with different actors!

 

[nush]

the reboot of BSG started off quite well

"33" is one of the greatest scifi TV episodes of all time, yes agree they didn't stick the landing. Another example, Doctor Who got cancelled, sat around for a long time until it came swinging out the gates. Now it's supreme shit. Let it die. It will be back and good again but it needs the "forest fire" to burn off all the dead wood.

I actually didn't really like that either. I think she should have been Obi-Wan's daughter like rumored or something else.
