At the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we see that Rey is one step closer to her purpose, her destiny. While she was living on Jakku, she said that she dreamed of a world covered in water, and that there was an island in the middle. She saw the same island in her "lightsaber vision" while she was at Maz's place. Then, she flew there after the Resistance completed the map that would lead them to Skywalker. That was when we first got to see Luke again, 30 years after the Battle of Endor. But where are they?
Rumors have been swirling around that Luke is at the Jedi Knights "First Temple," where it all began. Of course, these were just rumors. Now that production has begun for Episode VIII, things have started to slip out as far as what we can expect from the next installment. The biggest thing so far? The possible title of the movie. A "mysterious" photo appeared on Reddit, and was almost immediately taken down, that showed what might be new name of the film. That title was Star Wars: Tale of the Jedi Temple.
I know, it's kind of hokey, but it's still better than Attack of the Clones. If this is the actual title, then it looks like the next chapter is going to delve into the history of the Jedi Knights. We know that Daisy Ridley and Mark Hamill have both done a few re-shoots for Episode VIII that take place back on the island that they were at. Ridley was talking to MTV in an interview and had this to say about it:
Me and Mark [Hamill] have been rehearsing a lot, and it's really amazing. When we went back to Skellig to do the opening of 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."
Episode VIII is still just under two years away from being released, so we probably won't hear a lot more about this film until after Rogue One leaves theaters this December. Episode VII is scheduled for release December 15, 2017.
