SC: On Thursday, Lucasfilm announced the highly anticipated title to its highly anticipated new ‘Star Wars’ movie, now known as ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens.’
Once a new untitled ‘Star Wars’ movie is announced, it becomes kind of a fun Internet guessing game speculating what its title might be. Since the announcement that there would be an Episode VII back in October of 2012, there have been a lot of message board guesses. Today, using a Google search for the term “The Force Awakens,” but omitting anything that came today, the earliest reference to this title came way back on Dec 21, 2012, when a user at the ‘Star Wars’ fan site The Force.net named “Queen Gimmedala” guessed ‘The Force Awakens.’ Even more remarkable, this wasn’t a list of like 100 guesses — nope, it’s there all by itself. (And this particular poster signed up for an account that day, posted twice, then was never heard from again.)
At one point George Lucas planned for Rey to be named Winkie, according to a new official book of Star Wars facts.
Dialogue coach and Star Wars actor Andrew Jack has died in London at age 76 from complications related to the COVID-19 coronavirus.
Star Wars actor Greg Grunberg reveals that Carrie Fisher introduced herself to him in a rather unorthodox way when they met on set of The Force Awakens.
I don't know how the Force awakens. The title's okay. It's ominous. I just wouldn't rank it as the best title out of all the Star Wars movies.
It's so cliche and generic anyone could have guessed it without having ever watched a single Star Wars movie.
This title is about as generic as it gets and it sucks. But what can you expect from a SW title. Hope the rest of the movie is better. Its already starting badly.
Shouldn't it be 'The Force Re-Awakens'? The force has been a thing for awhile now, we are on the 7th movie of the series after all. But I digress, it's not a very good title. It sounds like a videogame.
