Star Wars Episode VII Title Announced
- Thread starter roseofbattle
- Start date
I guess things like this should be expected from movies that have release dates before they have scripts. Disney.
It gives me an idea and it's one I don't like. It sounds like some newbloods awaken to the force and begin training in the ways of the Jedi. That would go in line with the "oh shit, hero grampa died, now I've got to do stuff" which is one theory as to what the plot might be. The stupid thing is that if some of Luke's or Leila and Han's kids were force sensitive, they would be trained from young age. And god forbid they only now start a new Academy, 30 fucking years after the Empire fell.Brian Tams said:
But hey, it's by the same guy who made the proud Klingon into space orks. So I guess fuck original lore and continuity.
I dont' know anything about the plot of the movie, but as far as I'm aware being a force user was pretty rare in the Star Wars main trilogy, hell there was only 5 roughly in the first 3 movies, unlike the swarm there was in the prequels, and with the wipe of the extended universe we don't know how many are actually left. Maybe it's some sort of surge of force users becoming active or discovering their powers. A new age of Jedi and Sith.Brian Tams said:

The original article says that less CGI is being used, not none. They built a bunch of practical sets and props, including some full-sized X-Wings, but unless someone's come up with a convincing way of using practical effects for laser blasts and lightsabers, there's going to be some CGI involved.hermes200 said:
Yeah... my comment was directed more to the misdirection of the link than to the credibility of the claim.UNHchabo said:
I still think there is a lot of potential for bs in the claim (it being LucasArts and all), but there is no reason to discredit it before I see the movie.
We still have no idea about the plot of the new movie.Brian Tams said:
If I have to guess (and this is only a guess based on the title), there is going to be an event that will awake the force in hundreds or thousands of people in the universe, and the heroes are going to race against the clock to identify and recruit the new jedis before a new threat (maybe a new sith lord) beats them to it and creates an army of dark force users...
Something similar to the third season of Legend of Korra.

Yeah, I was about to say that, on the twitter announcement they just call it the short title too (though VII is mentioned afterwards as a hashtag). A shame but I suppose they're aiming to get new audiences in who haven't necessarily seen all of the previous movies, if the numeral is dropped.Nimcha said:
Another way of saying "The Jedi will get its act together and kick Sith ass" but making it more non confrontational. Awakens sounds less violent i guess. lol
Maybe it means the force awakens in someone? The new main character most probably.
or maybe in this new EU the Jedi have only just started to reform, who knows. Tbf Return of the jedi, was a bit of a silly title considering there had been Jedi in the previous movies. I don't mind this new one, so long as it means something for the film.

Really?Brian Tams said:
Gee, I dont know, maybe now for a long time there wasnt any jedi/sith conflict, therefore the force was "sleeping" (or dormant for the use of a better word) and now that conflict as "awoken" for the events of the new trilogy.
For fuck sakes, its the usual Star Wars title, is everyone just complaining because they have to by now?
EDIT: Really, what does "JJ is doing his fucking myster box mumbo-jumbo shit again" have to do with anything, the title is really clear on what it is.
That's Star TREK, as for the name meh who cares it's the combination and context of the name alongside the content of the movie, who knows in a years time we may look back and think that movie was f*cking awesome and the name just fit just right.
Agreed. It's so . . . I mean, for one, it's a title that tells us absolutely nothing about what's going on in the story. Episode 1: The Phantom Menace - There is a hidden enemy threatening us.Silvianoshei said:
Episode 2: Attack of the Clones - Admittedly stupid, but it tells us that there will be clones and they will be attacking.
Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith - The Sith are going to rise from power, gaining revenge for being nearly destroyed in the past.
Episode 4: A New Hope - After a long period of oppression, there is a new hope for the Galaxy.
Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back - The empire is retaliating for what the rebels did in the previous movie.
Episode 6: Return of the Jedi - The Jedi, having nearly been driven to extinction, are going to come back and fix the problem.
Episode 7: The Force Awakens - . . . um, what? It doesn't feel like it belongs. It feels utterly generic for a series where all of the titles were, by design, sort of generic. I suppose that's an accomplishment, it its own, incredibly brain-damaged way.
