What Do ’Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ International Titles Mean?

If you're already at the stage where you can't help but wonder how you're going to spend the next few months until the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, here's some good news: At least you can wait impatiently on some high-end Star Wars-inspired furniture. Yes, high-end Star Wars furniture. The best item in the collection? The Chewie rocking stool, but we can't deny that the Sidious Easy Armchair looks pretty comfortable, too. What else is happening in the galaxy far, far away? Cantina Talk starts now.

Probability of Accuracy: Well, the titles are accurate, at least.

The Real Deal: Considering it's a title that's been picked apart for every nuance of potential meaning, perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised that a lot of attention is being paid to the fact that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker's international titles are getting a lot of scrutiny. We must confess that Japan's Star Wars: The Dawn of Skywalker feels slightly less spoilery than the Polish version, which seems to translate to Skywalker Resurrection, but it's possible we're missing some greater nuance. Nonetheless, the new Japanese title, which surfaced last week, is causing a lot of chatter. That said, everything is speculation until the movie comes out. It's like Revenge of the Jedi, only less so.

Probability of Accuracy: To be fair, tears are very subjective.

The Real Deal: Is J.J. Abrams going to close out the Skywalker Saga in the manner that fans are hoping? No one will know until December, but at least one person is happy with the conclusion. Speaking to the Associated Press, Keri Russell—who plays new character Zorri Bliss in the movie—said, "When I read his script that [Abrams] wrote, I cried. I mean, who knows what it will turn out to be, and I hope it remains true to what he originally wanted." Want more details? Tough. She's not sharing anything else. But she did offer this interesting tease: "He's not trying to change it to be something else. He really respects what it is." Abrams has, of course, spoken of his desire to stay true to George Lucas' vision, but could this be a reference to people's fears that he's going to undo some of the revelations of Star Wars: The Last Jedi? Maybe.

The Source: The very studio responsible for the next Star Wars videogame

Probability of Accuracy: It's real gameplay footage. It's as accurate as things get, pending the inevitable edit.

The Real Deal: The videogame Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order isn't hitting consoles until November 15, but fans now have a much more complete picture of what to expect from the EA game. The studio put nearly half an hour of gameplay footage online last week.
