Is Disney actually dumb enough to reveal Rey as a Skywalker in the title of Episode IX? Yes, this is the official title revealed today.

Plot twist: Luke is Ben’s father. That would probably be the most left field thing Disney has ever done.

It took me a few readthroughs to understand your meaning.  I don’t think Disney would go down that particular rabbit hole

nah. I’d wager it means growth of Luke’s influence on the Force (and use there of ) according to his mindset at the end.  e.g. no more restricting it to the elitist Jedi, who- when you think about it- caused all of the problems in the galaxy prior to these films.  Yes, yes, they preached peace, calm, blah blah, yet regularly spawned Hitlers far too often.

The end of The Last Jedi implied that Luke dies and becomes part of the force but then again the trailer seems rather focused on retconning almost everything about TLJ.

Nah. My prediction is they blend the light and dark to a “grey Jedi” and rename the new sect Skywalker.

I thought it was pretty commonly known that Rey is a Skywalker? I called that halfway through the first movie

Nah, they’ve spent too much time making clear that she’s not. I’m going something closer to Spaceball-Two’s suggestion.

Makes the most sense, honestly. And the leader of the sect is called “The Skywalker.”

That boy playing with the force on Canto Bight at the end of TLJ is a Skywalker.

I thought I read somewhere that in the EU, Skywalkers  were a clan of force users or something, not just a surname.

Disney is all about royalty, and royalty is all about incest

or Kylo Ren’s lineage comes into play and he renounces the dark side...far more likely.

I’m guessing Rey turns Ren back to the light. And he is Anakin Skywalker’s (only?) grandchild . But I guess we’ll see.

A GoT style Sci-Fi show would probably be awesome though.

I'm hoping Jar Jar makes an appearance, just to induce rage in all the nerds.

Maybe it’s a misdirect. I don’t know what’s really going on with the end of the teaser trailer, but how’s this for a plot twist:

Palpatine was Anakin’s father ... somehow. Secretly a Skywalker, just like Leia “Organa” was. Therefore the title is a reference to him and his “rise” in the new movie (as a Dark Side Force gh ost?)

Eh... then again, the Skywalker name came from Shmi. So no, that can’t be Palpat ine’s name, can it . Oh well. I dunno then .
