'Star Wars Anthology' Renamed To 'A Star Wars Story'


The upcoming Star Wars standalone films were first called Star Wars Anthology when Lucasfilm and Disney first officially announced them, but at the D23 Expo, they've revised Anthology to A Star Wars Story, so all future standalone Star Wars films will include that subtitle, like the first one: Gareth Edwards' film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

During the presentation, Disney revealed the new graphic of A Star Wars Story (shown above). I think the new name is more versatile for future standalone films. Anthology may be confused as a whole series of its own. A Star Wars Story, however, could easily label any Star Wars standalone film they could come up with, without making it seem like it's a part of a connecting series.
