jamyskis: And the title is going to be interesting to translate into German: "Die Macht Erwacht". Sounds horrible.
Episode IX: Gute Nacht, Macht

I had a thought. If they do a series of some kind, probably animated, what would the names of the episodes be?

The force brushes its teeth.
The force have lunch.
The force vacation.
The force gets a new job.
The force marriage.
The force etc...

jamyskis: That title just...sucks. I mean, I know the original titles of the six films were corny (in the case of the original trilogy) or designed to be corny (in the case of the prequel trilogy), but this just sounds like some YouTube fan film or one of those Expanded Universe fanfic books.

I'm also curious why they dropped the Episode VII.

just to play devils advocate
maybe they mean the force will be awoken ina whole new generation of jedi and sith ?

that makes the most sense anyway

Sounds like a video game title.

... the generationX of da forciness.... i´m afraid that this will be the path Disney´s new star wars will be... thehe, the more feelingz these emo jedis have the more kundalini they get. And the Sith generation will be fantasy satanist celebrities!
the buddhists vs. active satanists in space!

1. Have you read any EU novels to dercry them all as "fanfic" or are you just dismissing it out of hand? Serious question, not trying to provoke an argument or be a "fanboy". I just read a lot of those books from middle school into college and some are truly outstanding science fiction/fantasy while others are excrement.

2. They didn't drop Episode VII, the title is clearly stated by the OP. Like all SW films, that part is not really used however, just the subtitle.


Edited for spelling.

As far as titles go, they can't win. Any combination of words will either be attacked for being too similar to other SW titles, or way too different... aka The Phantom Menace.

At this point, with marketing as a barometer, almost every SW title must have a combination of any of the following words... Force-Power-Return-Revenge-Sith-Jedi-Birth-Attack-Empire-Dark-Hope-Fear. There's a word raffle and there's only so many words they can pull out of the hat.

Niggles: So. Anyone really know the gist of the story? just asking...

Emob78: So far from what I've gathered from concept art, rumors, etc is this...

Luke has gone AWOL. Either he was captured or went into exile, we don't know. The 'search for Luke' is probably a big part of the story.

Adam Driver looks like he's going to be playing one of the villains, probably a Sith or Sith-wannabe, some guy who has a fetish for red lightsabers and black armor. His search for Sith artifacts will lead him to a conflict with the heroes. But it sounds like his strings are being manipulated by someone else.

Boyega/Ridley, the two new 'kid' heroes who will take charge as the series goes on. Ridley looks like she's either going to be a Solo or Skywalker kid.

Max Von Sydow. I'm still banking on him being the real Sith master. Some recent rumors contradict this, but I believe it's to throw us off the 'secrets' behind the return of the dark side... hence the title, 'The Force Awakens.' Sydow has too much weight with his voice and his presence to just be playing some side character or robot. If the Sith play a part in the new series, it's gotta have some acting punch behind it. You can't just have Tom Cruise or Jason Statham playing an ancient powerful Sith master.

And C3PO will whine a lot.
Thanks for that. I'm having low expectations of this mainly because its a Disney movie (and will be kid friendly despite the fact the series always had a mostly serious tone about it)
Agree about Von Sydow :)
Does sort of bother me it sounds for all intents and purposes a handoff from the oldies to the kids - had been hoping for something more solid with the old cast, but i guess they have aged too much (and who can we blame for such a large gap between all the movies..) ...

Max Von Sydow will play Ming the Merciless.

Telika: Max Von Sydow will play Ming the Merciless.
I'd be way ok with that. Hey, George Lucas is a big fan of old serials like Flash Gordon. Maybe it was one of the contract stips that he put in... any new SW movies has to have Ming in it.

I already know how it will end. Luke will sacrifice himself by going all megaghost everywhere to truly stabilise the force and make people happy by constantly feeling them up inside.

Holy crap! Brother? Is that you??.
Anyways, pretty weird yet awesome to see someone who also likes Rayman :D Though you're a veteran here and I'm a newbie. Well, everything comes in time :D

...
Getting back to the topic of this thread... The title sounds pretty lame... But the name just cannot be dropped and then announced by somebody "It's awesome! Now you have to love it and adore it as the other titles". No. The name has to be earned. If the film will succeed and wow us, then the name will be respected. In the meantime, we just have to wait. And I'm pretty excited about the trailer coming so soon :)

Oh, and the title would have sounded better, if they had named it Star Wars VII: The Awakening of the Force (those lazy Americans with their "easier" grammar...(no offense)). It has a better ring to it in my opinion. Thoughts?
