Lucasfilm and Disney remain mum about "Star Wars: Episode IX" plotline and official title, but they can't control fans to predict and assume what is going to happen. There are even rumors that a familiar face, and an important part of the Skywalker saga, will return that will surely surprise fans.
Cosmic Book News reported, via Mirror Online, Han Solo (Harrison Ford) may return in "Star Wars: Episode 9" after a Redditor posted a now-deleted image on Reddit. The photo in question said to feature the movie's "crew gifts" uploaded by a user whose wife is working for Pinewoods Studio.
"Han is back," the Redditor said. A similar image is seen on Instagram that seems to indicate the assumption is real. The posts lead to anticipations that Harrison Ford's iconic character may return in "Star Wars: Episode 9."
Although a lot of fans have seen Han Solo's demise at the hands of his son, Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," he could still return through flashbacks. The likes of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda managed to make a series of appearances in the movie franchise through force ghost. But even though the famed smuggler is not a Jedi to turn into a force ghost, there are still ways that he could make a comeback to give his storyline a proper ending in "Star Wars: Episode 9."
Meanwhile, aside from "Star Wars: Episode 9" plotline, fans are also waiting to know its official title. Inverse reported that the last installment to the trilogy saga's title might be hiding behind the lines Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) uttered in "The Last Jedi."
Another Redditor shared a theory that "Star Wars: Episode 9" official title was already revealed in Luke and Kylo's scene. "The Resistance is dead! The war is over! And when I kill you, I will have killed the last Jedi!" Adam Driver's character said. "The Rebellion is reborn today. The war is just beginning. And I will not be the last Jedi," Mark Hamill's role replied.
Luke's line brought a great impact to every "Star Wars" fan. It was a callback to the similar line he told Rey (Daisy Ridley) earlier in "The Last Jedi." He also mentioned the film's title. Lastly, his words "The Rebellion is born today" have a good ring to it.
"The Rebellion is Reborn" seems to fit the classic "Star Wars" naming scheme like "Return of the Jedi" and "Revenge of the Sith." It seems to mean that the Resistance will rise again in "Star Wars: Episode 9," and it may have an altered title of "Rebellion Reborn" or "The New Rebellion."
