There was a time when fans could only refer to Star Wars: The Force Awakens by the generic title of Episode VII. But in November of 2014 the film got the moniker we’ve all been buzzing about for over a year now. However, fans might be interested to hear that The Force Awakens once went by a completely different title, and it’s a name that will be familiar to those who read a particular novel from what is now called the Star Wars Legends series.
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.
Sure glad it stuck with The Force Awakens.
I get the name, and even kind of like it, but I think too many people would have been thrown off. To be that close to an old EU title, and have NOTHING in common with it, would piss fans off even more.
Shadow of the Empire, so you don't have to go to the site.
That's stupid. Shadows of the Empire is canon in the Saga. Of course you can't use it.
