If you feel a disturbance in the Force, it’s millions of voices suddenly crying out the new title of Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens. The reveal comes as the movie finishes its final day of shooting (with many more months of post-production to come.)

YAWN.

Lucas killed the franchise with his ridiculous Episode 1, 2, 3, and the rereleased 4, 5, and 6. HAN SHOT FIRST!!! I have a feeling I will not be seeing the afterbirth.
We’ll watch it for sure...but it won’t come anywhere near the original trilogy.
What a wimpy working title!
How about...
“The Force Rises Up In Our Midst With Great Distinction and Huge Unbridled Power.”
The Force is dead to me so long as Lucas continues to exclude Lawrence Kasdan from writing the project. Star Wars 1,2 and 3 were atrociously written without him.
I think the director JJ Abrams is great and the movie will be exciting. I’m surprised and excited filming is done, especially because Harrison Ford had to recover from that leg injury.
Call me a nerd, but I hope it’s good and in the faithful tradition of the original story.
The risk, obviously, is that a bad movie in the sequence could forever tarnish the name brand. And I like the movies.
It does seem a bit too...forced.
I heard it’s all black people.
Reach out with your feelings.
“The Force Awakens” would also have been a good title for last Tuesday’s elections.
I think a better title would have been: “The Dark Side Awakens”
However, I know nothing of the plot or story(assuming it has either), and isn’t just a long ‘commercial’ for toys and merchandising.
The kid who played Anakjn was not the right actor for the part and Jar Jar was beyond annoying, but I think Lucas pulled it back together during the third movie.
Abrams has shown that he has a decent ability to put a movie of this genrae together.

"Happened already, that has..."
Lucas has nothing to do with it anymore. He sold it to Disney, they’re picking the writers and directors.
