The earth-shaking Star Wars hype around The Force Awakens may have finally died down, but only because the attention has moved onto its successor.
Although we won’t be seeing Episode VIII until December 2017, there’s already speculation as to what the film might be called.
Take this news with a generous handful of salt, but an apparent ‘leak’ of production material appeared on Reddit that suggests the next instalment of the biggest movie series in the world is going to be called, wait for it, Star Wars: Tale Of The Jedi Temple.

The image was pulled from the site almost as quickly as it appeared, and to be honest, looks like nothing that couldn’t be plastered together in a ten minute Photoshop job.
Either way, fans have had their say on the name.
@FilmHyp Unlikely. If so true, let's hope to god its not like Attack of the Clones. You know what I mean

I don't think #StarWars Episode VIII is "The Tale of the Jedi Temple." What about something like "The Dark Side Beckons?"

It would seem the force is decidedly a mixed bag with this one.
