OK. Now we're more confused than ever.



Original (February 5): Star Wars actor Anthony Daniels is seemingly teasing something big regarding Star Wars: Episode IX.



The C-3PO star has hinted that "something amazing" is coming, telling fans to "stay tuned" and prompting speculation that a new trailer or title will drop soon.



He wrote on Twitter: "How strange. I am receiving images of something amazing coming towards us – travelling over decades through space and time – reaching out to all humans on this planet with its message.

How strange. I am receiving images of something amazing coming towards us - travelling over decades through space and time - reaching out to all humans on this planet with its message. What could it be? Should I be afraid? Should you? Stay tuned. — Anthony Daniels (@ADaniels3PO) February 4, 2019

"What could it be? Should I be afraid? Should you? Stay tuned."

Although Daniels' tweet is ambiguous, the title of Star Wars: The Force Awakens was revealed 14 months before the film's release, while Star Wars: The Last Jedi's title was announced 11 months before the film's release. So basically, Episode 9's title is overdue.

Daniels shared the bittersweet news last week that he'd filmed his last scenes on the film as droid C-3PO.

"Today was 3PO's last on Episode IX," he wrote. "He's sad - so am I. But we're so proud to have worked with such a lovely, talented cast & crew led by [director] JJ [Abrams] & [producer] Kathy [Kennedy].

"I'll miss everyone but I'm glad to know that we've been making something exceptional together, to share with the waiting world."

Daniels is the only actor to have appeared in every live-action Star Wars film. He played C-3PO in most but not in the recent Solo: A Star Wars Story, in which he cameoed as the con artist Tak.

Episode IX will premiere on December 20, 2019 in the US, with the film set to open the day before (December 19) in the UK.
