Disney is keeping the anticipation high around the announcement of the official title of Star Wars: Episode IX, leaving fans guessing. One fan, however, played the guessing game a bit too much. He was dedicated enough to take a stab at it 1,138 times.

Twitter user GeorgeLucasTalkShow shared his ideas in one extremely long thread on Twitter. The fan took more than two weeks to come up with the titles.

The list is chock full of hilarious suggestions, but there are also some gems that Disney might want to use. One title he came up with is The Force Goes Back to Sleep, which perfectly ties together a Star Wars trilogy that started with a movie called The Force Awakens.

Another funny Star Wars: Episode IX title GeorgeLucasTalkShow thought of is Darth Maul's Top Half Sewed Onto Snoke's Bottom Half, which references the manner in which the First Order Supreme Leader met his end in The Last Jedi. After all, who would know better than Darth Maul when it comes to living through the horror of being cut in half with a lightsaber.

Good Boy Ben/Bad Boy Ren and Mos Eisley, Mos Problems are two more options for Disney if they want to go the crazy route. The fan also thought it would be fun to call the film Jedi Master, Here Goes Nothing and Now That's What I Call Star Wars! 9.

The avid Star Wars fanatic also anticipates another major demise in the film, seeing that the first two movies have killed off two original characters. Lando's Surprise Death can be quite revealing but could soften the blow. While they were excited, fans can't help but feel dread at the thought of Lando biting the dust. Admiral Ackbar's off-camera death still stings.

Perhaps one of the most ridiculous ideas GeorgeLucasTalkShow had for the Star Wars: Episode IX title is--wait for it--Star Trek.

The Twitter user did suggest some good ones like The Rebellion Reborn, The Reluctant Sith, or The Phantom Returns. The third one might refer to Emperor Palpatine, who was the titular character in The Phantom Menace.

There's no official word yet on when the official title of the final film in the sequel trilogy will be announced. An early title reveal might be out of the question if the company is following the same marketing schedule as The Last Jedi. That film's title was announced during the month of January. The trailer was released April.

It is rumored that Disney is instead reserving the announcement for Star Wars Celebration next month and that a trailer will be released as well.

Star Wars: Episode IX hits the theaters December 20.
