‘Star Wars: Episode VIII’ will be called ‘Tale of the Jedi Temple,’ leaked image claims

“Star Wars: Episode VIII” will be titled “Tale of the Jedi Temple,” according to reports. It will also see Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) do really “cool” things, Daisy Ridley has revealed.

An image bearing the title of the new “Star Wars” film is making its rounds online, though its authenticity cannot be confirmed yet. The image, posted on Reddit and Facebook, sees the title in its classic “Star Wars” font.

And while some fans question the veracity of the report, after all, it could very well just be a fan-made hoax, “Tale of the Jedi Temple” backs rumours that the main story of the next film will have something to do with the first Jedi temple. It could be that Luke and Rey (Ridley) will be training at the temple, as the English actress recently revealed that there would be “cool” scenes of her and Hamill together.

“Me and Mark have been rehearsing a lot, and it’s really amazing,” she told MTV News on Sunday. When we went back to Skellig to do the opening of [Episode] VIII, it was so crazy doing the same scene with a different crew of people. He’s amazing to rehearse with, and I’m very excited to be doing the rest of the stuff.”

And if it still isn’t clear to everyone, Episode VII will have “such a good story.”

“Seriously. Luke is so cool in this one. Really,” Ridley insisted, as if fans still need to be convinced.

Hamill’s appearance in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” might be just a brief cameo, but in the upcoming instalment, he will have a much bigger role. The natural conclusion of viewers upon seeing Episode VII was Rey was Luke’s daughter. And as she did seek him out to hand over his lightsabre, it might mean she would also train under him.

Rey as Luke’s daughter isn’t the only theory floating around. Read here for other popular theories on Rey’s real identity.

Meanwhile, here’s Hamill giving fans a peek at the “exotic alien creature” set to terrorise the heroes in the next film.

“EXCLUSIVE 1st LOOK #EP8-Exotic Alien Creature to terrorize...oh no wait-that's just my daughter's dog #Whoops #MyBad #StarWars,” Hamill captioned the image.
