Leave it to Kevin Smith to make the declaration that the next Star Wars film may possibly dive into "hokey religions" based on the title- Rise of the Skywalker. The filmmaker and resident fanboy tackled the topic on the most recent episode of his Hollywood Babble On podcast with co-host Ralph Garman.

While speaking about the trailer and title reveal for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (which happened during Celebration in Chicago, you can read about it here and here), Smith said:

"What if they are telling us the f**king title? The way that Jedi has been used historically in these movies, including in the last movie – 'the last Jedi, the Jedis must end,' all that shit – what if that's it for the Jedis? And perhaps the new religion [are the Skywalkers]? Didn't that just give you f**king chills? What if it's that?"

What if indeed, Kevin.

You can watch the entire reaction episode below:
