Star Wars fans finally know the full title of Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker. And as with any title reveal, the reaction has been somewhat mixed right out of the gate.
Taken at face value, this title could imply that Rey will discover she is, in fact, a member of the Skywalker family. This would fly against The Last Jedi’s reveal that Rey is a nobody – just a humble, forgotten child of two lowly scavengers – but many have speculated Episode IX would push Rey’s character arc in that direction. (There’s also the possibility that the Skywalker of the title will refer to a redeemed Ben Solo, of course.)
However, we suspect there’s more to this title than immediately meets the eye. It could be hinting that the word “Skywalker” is no longer just the name of one family of powerful Force users, but rather a title Rey takes on after completing her Force training. She could become a hero named Skywalker in the same way Bruce Wayne becomes Batman or Peter Parker becomes Spider-Man. The Skywalker title could even come to replace the title of Jedi.
