Star Wars Episode 9: 8 Predictions For The Sequel's Title

2. Balance Of The Force

This one recently appeared on Reddit, courtesy of u/daviebaby8666, who claims that this is the leaked title of Star Wars Episode IX. Whether that's true or not remains to be seen - and given there's nothing to substantiate the rumour, it should be taken with an entire shaker full of salt right now - but there's no denying just how great the title is.

The title is immediately very Star Wars, thanks to the presence of the word 'Force', and fits with the kind of conventions typically used. Indeed, put next to the other third episode titles and it gets even better: Return Of The Jedi - Revenge Of The Sith - Balance Of The Force, the perfect harmony between the Light Side and the Dark Side.

It fits with ideas explored in The Last Jedi, meaning it works as a cohesive part of the Sequel Trilogy, and it also gives more importance to the Prequels too, since the idea of balance is rooted in those movies. It's a means of connecting all three trilogies as one unified whole, which is what this movie is aiming to do. The only downside is that it includes the word Force, which isn't just repeating a word, but repeating one from the same trilogy, which might be stretching things slightly.
