    What do you think Episode 8 will be called? My own title is "Shadow of the Galaxy" because at the end of TFA I predict that we will see the main villain. He will cause our heroes to make difficult, often immoral choices, thus the "shadow" bit, because the demons within the best of people are being brought out. Plus the stakes will be even higher, and the Dark Side is growing much stronger due to the Force awakening.
    What speculations do you guys have for the title of ep. VIII?

    id like to say that its just way to soon to even make an educated guess. The writers can be very creative with these things

    I'm crap at titles. :p I'm good at plots, characterization, my line writing is coming along, etc. - but I suck at titles. Sorry!

    However, if my hopes for Ep VIII are fulfilled, the title could be:

    The Ends of the Universe
    Return of the Redeye
    Thanksgiving Day
    and last but not least:
    Darth Takes a Holiday

    Nyuknyuknyuk......... :D

    Either Shadow of the Empire or Shadow of the Sith. Something dark like ESB.

    What about Star Wars VIII Vader - Ruler of Space and Time
    or Star Wars VIII - An Rising Empire or Origin of the Siths
    hehe bad fan fiction on my part, but funny nonetheless.

    My favourite is Star Wars Episode VIII - Masked Terror (dark)on Rampage(duel)

    The titles of the two trilogies we've seen thus far (plus the first of the ST) seem to follow a distinct pattern.

    Generally the first of each references something not clearly known, and to be discovered. The second usually seems to point towards an action taken by a political faction. And lastly the third seems to reference an achievement or notable event of one of the ideological "religious" forces.

    I think @Voxx is going in the right direction. EP 8 might need a bit of a change, but 9 seems perfect.

    It would be interesting if the whole 'bad feelings' recurrence was turned into more than a joke and at least one title had something to do with perception, somehow. It is generally implied, after all, that the force has something to do with this 'sense of impending doom' (though, to be fair, the fact that doom was generally impending might also have had a lot to do with it...) and it will have 'awakened' by episode eight so perhaps more people are having 'force feelings.'

    Another recurring theme- the lost arms- might be more difficult to work into a title, but I did once come over all punny in a French class and dub the series 'Les Mains of War' (I apologise, heartily. C'est la guerre...)

    I really like your title for Ep. 9, because it shows that both the Jedi and Sith have struck a balance; neither side desires revenge against the other.

    Star Wars Episode VIII - The Octology

    OR

    Star Wars Episode VIII - The Search for Darth Maul's Lower Extremities

    (vicious)(vicious)(dual)(vicious)(vicious)

    In all seriousness, there's really no way to make an educated guess until we've seen The Force Awakens and know where the storys direction is seemingly headed. But it is pretty fun to guess! :D

    I think we'll definitely get something like "Assault" or similar language. @Voxx, you guesses are my favorite so far...especially since they talk about the dark side and the light in the trailer.

    Maybe it doesn't even have to be a blatant "attack" term; it could also imply that there is an assault coming...perhaps, "Gathering of the Dark"?

    This might not be original but I like:
    Episode 8 - Spectre of the Past
    Of course it dosen't have to be the exact story to that of the EU novel of the same name. Put simply, the title may suggest a potential link to an (original series) character maybe long gone or of ones even further in the time-line. Writers have been told they can 'borrow' from the EU, why not just a title ?
