Just call me "Hot Scoopz". Can also confirm Jar Jar is a Jedi and all the dancing mini-games from Star Wars Kinect are EXTREMELY canon now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syntheticgerbil Posted October 16, 2014 Oh a part of this movie was filmed on Skellig Michael as I found out recently. I'm sure the tourism out there is going to boom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SW7 will be more inclusive of Chinese / Asian audiences. I mean, I hope so, and in a totally cool way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigJKO Posted November 7, 2014 It's an appropriate Star Wars name. I don't know. It's not impressive or anything, just.. functional. It's better than any of the prequel names, at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The subtitles of the original trilogy are set in my mind as real things, but even Han Solo sounds goofy to me if I dwell on it too long. Just about every combination of non-words sounds like the name of a Star Wars character to me, and every portentously vague phrase sounds like the subtitle for a new Star Wars movie. It's madlibs at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever, it's the least important thing about the merits of a movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing this reveals their justification for the movie being set 30 years after ROTJ - the awareness of the Force has been made all but extinct, as Luke is the only Jedi left and he's had minimal training. Ep VII will involve some big new threat forcing Luke to step things up and reawaken the Force in the eyes of the galaxy. I think the subtitle fits perfectly well with all the others - they're supposed to be cheesy Republic Serial sounding episode titles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"The Force Awakens" can be applied to literally any first installment of a Star Wars trilogy, whatever the premise. It's also self-evident from very idea of there being another Star Wars trilogy. Like I said though it's really not important. There's just not much to talk about with these movies yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted November 7, 2014 My friend just found out that his cousin is in the film!? As a puppet this guy is a puppeteer and has worked on the muppet movies, he walks around in big human size puppet suits. Anyway, he just told my friend who's a massive Star Wars fan over Facebook chat. He can't say anymore than that as he's signed loads of legal documents, but he did say he would be a action figure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted November 7, 2014 So I don't think you can say that the title of a piece doesn't say anything meaningful about the piece if you barely know anything about the piece. On 11/7/2014 at 10:44 AM, CollegeBaby said: "The Force Awakens" can be applied to literally any first installment of a Star Wars trilogy, whatever the premise. Also disagree. It doesn't apply to, say, Episode 1 unless you really stretch. (And if you want to stretch, how about a Star Wars trilogy that opens with the last Jedi being killed off and carries on to be about bounty hunters and smugglers?) Mington - that's ace! Hope your friend doesn't also have an uncle who works for Nintendo... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Considering the lead Jedi Masters die in both Episode 1 and Episode 4 it would be an extreme lack of awareness to kill whatever Jedi Masters remain in Episode 7, unless perhaps if it was in the first act. Do you honestly think there would ever be a Star Wars trilogy without Jedis though? You don't need to know the script of the film to understand how vague and generic a title it is. Seriously, the only way it could be more generic is if it was called Jedi Origins. In fact I'll give you some other names that will prove to be equally as relevant. Jedi Rising Dawn of the Force The Jedi Chronicles Jedi Generations Legacy of the Force Galactic Jedi Saga Return of the Sith All of them are Stock Subtitles.
