Now thatStar Wars: The Last Jediis in theaters, many fans are already looking forward toStar Wars 9.JJ Abrams pitched his story for Star Wars 9this week, and now a new report claims to know what the working title may be. While this report has not been confirmed by LucasFilm, and we don’t expect it to be, this report claims that the working title forStar Wars 9isBlack Diamond, which will be produced under the new company Carbonado. This report comes from the same source that correctly identified the working titles forStar Wars: The Force Awakens(AVCO),Rogue One: A Star Wars Story(Los Alamos),Star Wars: The Last Jedi(Space Bear) andSolo: A Star Wars Story(Red Cup). Here’s what the site’s source had to say about this working title.
“Carbonado, commonly known as the “black diamond”, is the toughest form of natural diamond. It is an impure form of polycrystalline diamond consisting of diamond, graphite, and amorphous carbon. It is found primarily in alluvial deposits in the Central African Republic and in Brazil. Its natural colour is black or dark grey, and it is more porous than other diamonds.?”
The report reveals that Carbonado was first considered to be used for theHan Solo movie, as a nod to the carbon freezing process that Han Solo goes through in the originalStar Wars trilogy, but that ultimately didn’t happen. Another report revealed more findings, with the word carbonado seen on a wikipedia page that features a word used in theStar Warscanon before. Here’s an excerpt from that wikipedia page.
“Carbonado exhibits strong luminescence (photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence) induced by nitrogen and by vacancies existing in the crystal lattice. Luminescence halos are present around radioactive inclusions, and it is suggested that the radiation damage occurred after formation of the carbonados, an observation perhaps pertinent to the radiation hypothesis listed below.”
The world luminous was used during a speech given by Yoda duringThe Empire Strikes Back, where he states, “For my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you. Here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere! Yes, even between the land and the ship.” There will likely be considerable changes to the movie made between now and the release in 2019, but it seems Black Diamond was set to be used in Han Solo before it was used for this movie.
