4. The Last Hope

Even if they don't go down the route of cribbing from the preceding movie's opening crawl, Hope could still play a key part in the title of Episode IX.

The Last Jedi was the first to repeat a title, meaning there's no reason Episode IX can't do likewise. The Last Hope is similar to Episode VIII's title, but then it helps tie the movies together more, and more than that it brings everything full circle.

The saga began with A New Hope, so how else could it end but with one final hope for the galaxy. It fits with the dire situation the Resistance currently finds itself in, but also gives a real sense of finality to the whole saga, without being as on-the-nose about it as The End.
