    "According to sources, Trevorrow exited the project after issues with the script persisted throughout development, with the director taking multiple stabs at different drafts. Eventually, he and Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy's working relationship had become unmanageable.

    Jack Thorne, the British scribe who wrote the upcoming Julia Roberts-Jacob Tremblay movie Wonder, was tapped to work on the script for the movie, which is the supposed end to the Skywalker Saga."

    But ...

    If the Skywalker saga ends after the next movie...

    ...wouldn't that mean Rey isn't a Skywalker (who I presume would survive) the Trilogy?
    And does that mean that both Luke and Kylo are dead by the end of Episode 9?

    *Insert Dramatic Orchestral Sequence* Dun Dun Dunnnnnnnnnn!!!!!

    I don't think MSN knows the ending of Episode 9.

    And Lucasfilm never said that Episode 9 will end the Skywalker saga.

    That's speculative by them at best. Unless their "sources" are the upper echelon of Lucasfilm who decided to suddenly drop that leak, I would take that with a BUNCH of salt.

    Are we talking about the name Skywalker or the Skywalker genes? Ben Solo already lost his Skywalker name without dying so even if the news on msn.com is correct Kylo doesn't necessarily have to die for the Skywalker name to end. There's also a tiny chance that maybe Luke had some children. I would be surprised though. For some reason I always figured that Luke is a virgin. Someone should make a poll: Do you think Luke eventually got laid after his first love turned out to be his sister?

    Ben fills the Skywalker saga requirement for the Lucasfilm Story Group, the bloodline is more important than the family name in the Skywalker saga, Leia is a Skywalker even if her family name is "Organa".

    Even if Episodes 10,11,12 are only with Ben it will still be part of the Skywalker saga because of him.

    The truth hurts me. I very much want Rey to be a Skywalker. I will hold hope until we know for sure and adapt if she isn't.

    First. It might be a vague statement implying that Ep9 would conclude the current trilogy. Second if it means that Rey is not a Skywalker but the "Skywalker Saga" ends wouldn't you be implying that there still would be an episode X. Third. If Rey X survives Luke and Ben die Rey can still continue because at least at this point we see her likely to be his apprentice who will take on his mantle or create a situation in which she or her offspring continue as Skywalker.

    Well even if rey is a skywalker the surname of the next generation would be taken by the male father. So the Skywalker is done really. It was a cool name skywalker. Ohh well.

    She could be adopted and become Skywalker even though that be more symbolic considering her age.

    But yeah weird to call it the Skywalker Saga with no having the name Skywalker.

    Unless . . . she has a child with another character that has no last name. #Fin-Rey for the Win Hey

    She has a baby with Finn the baby has "no family name" so the give the little guy the first name of someone that they both had a good relationship with= Han and the last name Skywalker.

    While I personally don't think Rey is a Skywalker and really don't think anything about her character profile is hurt by it... honestly this thread is hardly confirmation either way. Just more fodder for speculation.

    Ending the name Skywaker is the equivalent of renaming the New York Yankees the New York Baseball Club. A TERRIBLE marketing decision.

    This is pretty much what I expected. I think whatever happens in the ST, the Skywalker curse will be broken and if a new hero arises in a future story it'll be something entirely different, but with callbacks to our beloved saga.

    I don't believe Rey is Luke's daughter, but I do think she will end up with his surname. How they get there I've no idea, but I just can't imagine them killing the name off...

    That's what I think. I feel Rey was purposely not given a last name and might not have one revealed in VIII, so she can become a Skywalker.

    Why would anyone end Skawalkers in Star Wars?

    It is a brand name.

    I'll be trully depreesed if the bloodline ends. Even if Rey becomes an adopted Rey Skywalker-Solo-Organa-Kenobi-Ren.

    This makes me wonder about Luke and Kylo's fate, since they carry the last of the Skywalker blood.
