The best jokey ideas for the Star Wars: Episode IX title

Despite the rumour mill strongly suggesting that it was going to land in our laps today, we still don’t know what the Star Wars: Episode IX title will be. Instead, what we got was some people taking to social media with their own amusing ideas about what the upcoming trilogy-closer should be called. 

Following on from Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens and Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi, this upcoming ninth instalment in the space opera’s main numbered storyline is being directed by J.J. Abrams from a script by Abrams, Chris Terrio, Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly. This as-yet-untitled movie is one of our most anticipated upcoming flicks and we are, at this stage, chomping at the bit like rabid mutts, desperate for extra info or even – imagine it! – an actual trailer.  

For now, while we have no clue about the title and not even the slightest whiff of a promo vid, we’ve compiled some of our favourite jokey title ideas from the internet at large. Prepare to raise a wry smile, or perhaps even break into a light chuckle…

One of the best jokes, which even Mark Hamill got involved with, harks back to a background gag from an episode of Futurama…

And, as for Balance Of The Force, which sounded like the most likely rumour at one stage, it looks like that idea has been quashed…

When we do eventually find out the title for Star Wars: Episode IX, we’ll be sure to let you know. In the meantime, what’s your guess? Let us know in the comments below…
