Part 7/9:
The potential title holds more than just marketing significance; it signals the franchise’s direction. If the movie is indeed called Episode 10, it implies a continuation—or even a reboot—of the Skywalker saga, albeit with new characters. However, if it’s titled A New Beginning or something similar, it suggests a pivot towards a fresh narrative arc, possibly positioning Rey as the new central figure and moving away from previous saga elements that fans found problematic.
This debate also reflects broader frustrations. Many fans feel burned by the sequels' handling of legacy characters and storylines. The idea of rebooting or rebranding with a new subtitle is seen as a way to reset expectations or salvage the franchise’s reputation.
