 "Star Wars: Episode IX title sparks fan speculation — 'How can it be The Rise of Skywalker when the Skywalkers are all gone?")
With the title and trailer of Star Wars: Episode IX finally being released, fans immediately began suggesting wild theories about who the ‘Skywalker’ in The Rise of Skywalker referred to. It piqued many a fan’s interest with some trying to decipher the reference. Mark Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker, joined in the frenzy as well.
Serious question: how can it be “The Rise of Skywalker” when the Skywalkers are all gone?

If Rey is not a Skywalker, the sequels are a bust.

Prediction: Kylo dies. https://t.co/qMAOOLZdJs
Rise of Ben. Gotta be. A skywalker at his lowest rising.

That new Star Wars trailer is lit but not gonna lie ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ makes me v nervous and I sure hope it’s a reference to Kylo

Calling it a “cool title”, Hamill jokingly said they had not even considered his suggestion of Episode IX: A Bunch More Stuff Happens.
It's not #EpisodeIXFromHisNap or even my suggestion: #EpisodeIXABunchMoreStuffHappens- It'#EpisodeIXTheRiseOfSkywalker! It's time for the 8 months of speculation to begin. Is that Skywalker KYLO? LEIA? ANAKIN? LUKE? A previously unknown SKYWALKER? Is REY a Skywalker? #CoolTitle👍 https://t.co/avfffLvC1z

It’s a new use in English/High Galactic maybe, but it’s canon from Thrawn Alliances that the Chiss word that translates as “skywalker” is their word for force users. 🙌

I'm really starting to like the theory going around that "Skywalker" refers to the new name for Force users once the light/dark battle is ended.

“Skywalker” should become a title/metaphor the way it always was meant to be — someone who wanders the planets, doing good, helping people. No Jedi code or pomp or debate about light and dark, just someone who brings balance to the Force.
