Are we actually going to get a movie where things go horribly wrong for the heroes? Please let it be true. John Boyega teased a while back that Star Wars: Episode VIII would be "much darker" and if this leak is any indication, the heroes are going to get their butts kicked (thank god).
This latest rumor comes from a poster for Star Wars Celebration Europe, where someone took a video that shows the name, Fall of the Resistance. You can find the video here.
There is an overarching belief that, in many ways, The Force Awakens is a direct parallel to A New Hope. So, if Disney intends to keep to the formula, that would mean that the second movie in the new trilogy is set to have the Dark Side come out on top. Given that The Empire Strikes Back is considered by many to be the best Star Wars movie ever made, mirroring elements of that storyline is nothing but a smart move.
