The Title For Star Wars - Episode VIII Has Been Leaked?

Star Wars - Fall Of The Resistance is the latest leaked title for Rian Johnson's Episode VIII. This title seems to hit the spot and sound more realistic than the previous leaked title, Tales Of The Jedi Temple, The Knight Of Ren and The First Order Strikes Back (Fuck right off if it's gonna be called that).

The image above is from a video that was leaked earlier. I've seen the video and it all seems real to me. I now can't find the video, it seems to have been taken down. The title is VERY Empire Strikes Back-ish, which I'm loving. It's got a classic Star Wars title feel, so here's hoping this IS in fact the title. 

Star Wars Episode VIII Adds An Unusual Suspect?

A week or so back, Guardians Of The Galaxy actor, Benicio Del Toro, pretty much confirmed that he's snatched up an important role in Rian Johnson's Star Wars - Episode VIII. He said that he's signed on to play the films lead villain. Now, that led to some speculation that Adam Driver's villain in this years The Force Awakens, must not survive, which kind of left me in a bit of a shit mood.
Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to see Benicio play a big villain in Star Wars, seeing as he missed out on playing Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness a few years back. In saying that, I don't want us to loose Kylo Ren too quickly like with the demise of Phantom Menace villain, Darth Maul. He was made out to be this bad ass and could've been the Vader of the prequels. I assumed Driver's Kylo Ren was going to be the Vader of the sequels but possibly not now. So here's hoping the same doesn't go with Ren.

THAT WAS LAST WEEK.....
THIS WEEK, I.E. TODAY, DEL TORO TELLS US THIS....

Benicio Del Toro, who only last week or so said he was confident he was signing on and then he said he had and that he was playing the LEAD VILLAIN in Episode VIII, which is set to begin filming later this month, if not already started filming, in Ireland with Mark Hamill, Oscar Issac and John Boyega to be the only actors so far to be confirmed to return for further sequel, MAY not be playing the LEAD VILLAIN in the next sequel. He's still saying he's in the film, but his character may or may not be a villain. He says it's how some people read the scripts and understanding, etc. Some people are kept in the dark with some things, so YES, Del Toro could still be playing the lead villain or a villain or some sort, but maybe his role is kept a secret or underwraps slightly for now, again, only time will tell. All we as fans can do is guess and start theories and shit.

"Empire Strikes Back" Writers Back For New Trilogy!

Reports online are saying that original "Star Wars" writer, Lawrence Kasdan, is returning to write the scripts for the next two films after "Episode 7", which is currently being wrote by Michael Arndt. It was rumored that Arndt was penning all three scripts, but it looks like that may not be the case now. Kasdan wrote the script for the amazing "Empire Strikes Back" and is looking to bring the feel of that installment into the new ones with "X-Men: First Class" writer, Simon Kinberg. It's also been rumored on Twitter that both writers of "Episode 8 & 9" will also be producers for the whole new trilogy too.

On the note of the new trilogy, Billy Dee Williams, who played Lando in "Return Of The Jedi" has announced that he would love to return for the new films.

It's also been confirmed that his character does appear in the first draft of the script, but it's unknown if he'll be kept in the final drafts too though.

The New "Star Wars" Trilogy Will Be Totally Original?

According to some online movie news sites, the next "Star Wars" trilogy will be totally original and will have no connection to the past six films. This could mean that Disney are attempting a mini reboot within the "Wars" universe and wipe the slate clean with new characters.
There's still rumors that Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are still though expected to return for a "passing of the torch" type scene even though this is possibly a reboot to the long-running franchise.
On the other hand, the new trilogy may not be a total reboot and just maybe have a new ending for the three original characters rather than the stories in the various comics and books set after "Episode 6". They may have new storylines for them rather than adapt, hence the original idea.
This could serious work if Disney plan to bring in new Jedi's and a new evil Empire. I'm just hyped up about the cast to be honest. The actors and actresses of today are amazing and I'm excited about who will be lucky to get a role in the new trilogy.
