As 2016 is coming to an end, it reminds fans of the waiting for the end of 2017 to witness the release of "Star Wars 8". Read our latest updates on the upcoming new "Star Wars" Episode VIII.

The new episode will certainly be the biggest selling point for the Lucas Studios. In fact, one of the Star Wars 8 actor Adam Driver, who plays villain Kylo Ren says that he love that there are no trailers for the episode. That will keep fans guessing until the release of the episode.

According to The Week, "For starters, it's following up the immensely successful Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which reintroduced Hollywood to the saga that takes place a long time ago, in that galaxy far, far away. Also, it's Star Wars... a brand that sells the way Marvel (also Disney) sells," it says. "A trailer is unnecessary."

It may be interesting to note a quote from Geroge Lucas, the Star Wars creator "You see the echo of where it all is gonna go. It's like poetry, sort of. They rhyme." This implies that the new episode will resemble close to the last released episode "Star Wars: A New Hope" reports The Movie Pilot.

We can see some character's similarities as well, such as Rey plays Luke Skywalker, Finn-Han Solo, Poe Dameron- Leia Organa, BB-8 playing R2-D2, Kylo Ren- Darth Vader, and Lor San Takka- Obi-Wan Kenobi.

With this hint of rhyme, we can presume the plot could be that Leia left their daughter Rey on Jakku fearing the villain Kylo Ren would harm her. Their family friend Lor San Tekko set up a church of the Force to guard her, rhyming Obi-Wan guarding Luke at Tattooine in the recent movie.

"Star Wars" Episode VIII starts when Poe Dameron gives a map to Luke Skywalker, which he in turn hand over to BB-8. Considering the rhyming, Poe could be the mystery sibling of hero Rey. And Kylo Ren will turn out to be Rey's half-brother in this episode.

We hope that the new episode would be as innovative and inspiring as the earlier ones. Watch out for more updates on Star Wars!
