I think the way Luke is smiling as he enters the hut gives us a clue. Luke's stance was softening through the entire movie. He started out cut off from the Force and ignored Rey completely, but was soon willing to train her and reconnected to the Force. He was well on the way to rejoining the fight but seeing Ben and Rey together made him panic.

When they tweeted this the date they put was 10/4 and for a second I thought that meant April 10th ):
Looking forward to the Mando Black Series figure!
I presume Fallen Order will get a book tie-in like Twilight Company and Inferno Squad. Maybe a few other things since it's more story focused. Nice to see they're still planning a holiday release as well.

lol are we actually setting ourselves up for disappointment again
That list is from 4chan's /co/ and is about six years old. It predates both season 6 of TCW and the entirety of Rebels. This is another reason why it's not a great guide.
Star Wars: The Chosen One
It was Rey all along. Skywalkers are an unnatural abuse of the force via Palpatine. Anakin was thought to be it purely because of "power levels" but that was missing the point and reflective of old Jedi hubris. Now Ben thinks he can claim that title. The audience will be led to believe its him. The movies twist will be that nope it's Rey. She's the real beginning of a new balanced Jedi order. She is the result of the force waking up to balance itself.
I mean if nothing else the title would be really fitting capstone for the saga.

Luke was absolutely ready to go tell Rey she was right and ready to leave with her. Then he saw her with Kylo and fucking flip switched back for a second I guess? Not until Yoda did Luke finally get his head fully out of his ass.
Balance of the Force is a really great title, the only drawback being the repeat use of the word Force from the Force Awakens ---- but I guess we already have the repeat of the word Jedi from ROTJ to TLJ.
I need to get back to The Clone Wars eventually. Still only on Season 1, but it's been an absolute blast you know.
Also, give me that trailer or title reveal. I'll be fine with just a title reveal today. Then we'll have to wait till April for a trailer. It's more fun this way.

Yeah, I thought about that, too. I just think JJ is a SW sap and might want a "of the" title to close out each of the trilogies. I think whatever he does, it'll play on SW history.
Yea, this is why I have always felt people overlooked Rey's role in getting him to reconnect with the force. After he shares with her what happened with Ben, Rey tells him "And you didn't fail Kylo, Kylo failed you. I won't." Immediately following is when Luke goes to the top of the mountain and reconnects with the force and feels Leia in danger. Rey definitely got to him with that line. A lot of people say Rey did nothing to sway Luke because it was ultimately Yoda that gives him the kick he needed but Rey was a huge influence. The only reason she even confided in Ben is because of how badly Luke freaked out about her being drawn to the dark place.
That said, I do think it was a big mistake to cut out that caretaker village raid scene because it serves two purposes: 1.) reinforces to Luke how much Rey believed in his legend and how his apathy is hurting people he loves and, 2.) pushes Rey closer to Ben because of how fed up she is with Luke's games and bullshit. I really don't understand the thinking behind cutting that scene. It would have only improved the film and it's so short that it doesn't hurt the pacing.
yeah, I'm hoping for it to do that. Either play on history with the 'of the' ie. "Balance of the Force" or I like the highly suggested "A New Order". Another option kinda in the back of my mind is a tie back to Phantom Menace. Something like "A New Menace", "The Phantom Beyond", "Order of the Phantoms"... something along those lines. Don't know how well that'd play.
Otherwise it should be just something super pulpy
I think the movie also really needed those early, cut Finn sees watching the hologram. Helps establish his baseline at the beginning. Lots of good moments left on the editing floor.
Should this be taken to mean that The Mandalorian won't premiere before October then?
Psst. My new lightsaber just came in. the cross-guard saber
Fucking rad, love how refined the hilt looks compared to Kylo's
Oh I kinda thought that was given. It all depends when the Disney + service launches, I assume the Mandlorian will a launch title for it. We've always heard late 2019. So I guess really anywhere from September to December is possible, but I'm leaning towards November December range.
reading between the lines, when do we think the next season of clone wars will launch?
this seems really soon. I would think they'd be wrapping on the pilot instead. Lol
Man... I would love it if Mando, Clone Wars and IX launch this year. Can y'all even imagine? Would be the GOAT SW year
September made sense to me because I figured they wouldn't drop it so close to IX. But maybe not.
