The way I see it there are are four things “the Rise of Skywalker” could mean.
It could mean Luke Skywalker
it could mean one of the other characters we know is actually a Skywalker
it could mean a new Skywalker character is introduced
or, I suppose, it could mean Anakin Skywalker.
Options two and three seem pretty unlikely to me. Option 1 seems probable but begs the question how/why would a character “rise” after they’ve already died and completed their story arc. The obvious answer is that they’d be acting as a Force ghost, which Anakin already has been introduced as. I’d have to say option 4 is the most interesting to me.
What do you think? Who is the Skywalker that will rise?
It may be more metaphorical.
Skywalker will become a legend, a concept.
Today we might refer to a very ambitious person as “Napoleonic”.
Or a brilliant writer as “Shakespearean”.
Maybe Skywalker will become similar.
An idea, transcending flesh.
“Skywalker” actually does already have a meaning though

Basically, you know how Jedi can block blaster bolts and stuff? That’s cause they have very split second precognition, where they see right now and slightly into the future, letting them block stuff. In canon, it’s very dangerous to enter hyperspace outside of established hyperspace lanes because you could crash into literally anything (another ship, a planet, a star, etc). Jedi, however, are able to do this because of their precognition and ability to sense that danger and avoid it. This is known as “Skywalking”, and those able to do it are known as “Skywalkers”.
Does that make sense for the title here? No. But it does already have a meaning.
