In an exclusive from Fantha Tracks, we've learned that Episode IX has had a change in working title. Formerly known as "Black Diamond," Star Wars Episode IX is now known as "trIXie" as production gears up to begin next month.
While "trIXie" is highly unlikely to have a direct relation to the plot of Episode IX , it's nevertheless a fun tidbit of knowledge from the crew that broke the working titles for all of the Disney-era Star Wars films so far.
While not all movies have working titles, for projects as significant as Star Wars , a working title is almost a prerequisite. The purpose of a working title is to keep people who see the set from interfering with the movie's production, either by photobombing the set or otherwise making a nuisance of themselves.

The actual title of Star Wars: Episode IX is still under wraps, of course. We probably won't see it for some time, as the title for Star Wars: The Last Jedi wasn't shared until there was less than a year til the movie's release.
Here's the working titles for some of the other Disney-era Star Wars films (via Fantha Tracks):
- The Force Awakens – FOODLES PRODUCTION (UK) LIMITED – AVCO (Where J.J. saw A New Hope – Source: Making Star Wars)
- Rogue One – LUNAK HEAVY INDUSTRIES (UK) LIMITED – Los Alamos (Birth place of the atomic bomb / Birth of the Death Star)
- The Last Jedi – SPACE BEAR INDUSTRIES (UK) LIMITED – Space Bear (Explained by story group: "We were talking about how Luke had retreated and just taken himself out of the world and for some reason [it felt like] Legends of the Fall,when Tristan goes into the woods in the end," Rayne Roberts shared. "But then we were like, 'And then he gets mauled by a bear.' And then someone said, 'So Luke's like a space bear.'")
- Solo – STANNUM 50 LABS (UK) LIMITED – Red Cup (As in the iconic American party SOLO red cups)
- Episode IX – CARBONADO INDUSTRIES (UK) LIMITED – trIXie
- Rumoured Kenobi movie – PLT PRODUCTIONS (UK) LIMITED – Joshua Tree (Joshua Tree National Park was home to some scenes used as Tatooine in Return of the Jedi – Source: Omega Underground)
- Rumoured Fett movie – No working title or production company in place.
Episode IX will be the last movie in the sequel trilogy and is likely to be the last entry in the "Skywalker Saga." It is scheduled for a Dec. 20, 2019 release date.
