OFFICIAL NEWS Episode VII Subtitle Revealed!!

A Phantom was a menace, then got attacked by clones until the Sith had revenge. Then a new hope, until the Empire struck back and Jedi returned. Now the Force awakens!

 

Okay that's pissed on my chips!

 

See? This guy gets it. I don't know why you other people don't. The Force Awakens is okay.... Which is a step up from all the prequel subtitles.

 

I thought about that as well... sorta x-files "everything dies" or "the truth is out there" kinda thing...

Well, that kills that idea in the crib... didn't even get it posted... you think people are excited about this or something?

Some of the wippersnappers are too young to remember... but us old coots remember getting all geared up for Star Wars: Episode VI - Revenge of the Jedi...

Wouldn't be the first time the official name wasn't entirely firm...

 

I read a funny story about how George Lucas purposely said the title of Return of the Jedi was Revenge of the Jedi for a long time because, he wanted to avoid people making money off of it and to avoid counterfeits. Haha

 

I really don't have a problem with the title not having Episode VII in it, but I feel like this will confuse the general movie going audience when the spin offs come out. Unless they dub the spin offs under a different name. I just feel like there needs to be SOMETHING to show that Episode VII is part of the main ongoing saga and I feel like Episode VII... did it perfectly. I also feel like they are trying to make everyone forget about the prequels.

 

I remember it well! That first trailer for it had the "Revenge" title, and the articles in Starlog and all of those magazines certainly used it up until ol' Unca George pulled that eleventh-hour switcharoo.

I don't expect that we'll see a similar title change on TFA, but anything is possible. I'm fine with it if it stays like this, and if they change it then that'll be another fun round of posts hereabouts too.

 

I think it sould look something like this.
Please excuse my raw use of MSPaint....

 

I know its official and I've pretty much hated everyone who has commented "oh it should have been the ancient fear.. or the awakening of the force.. or it should have been called return of the ewoks" HOWEVER!! I simply want to say that a few months ago someone in the comments section on SW7news suggested the name to be considered: StarWars Episode VII: Echoes of the Force..

I like The Force Awakens but when I read Echoes of the Force it sent chills down my spine.. I wish TFA had.. Sadly it did not.. I feel like Disney should have kept an eye on what some of you people were saying. They could have utilized the free think-tank that is SW7News comment section and cantina.

 

Now I wonder how they'll translate it to Spanish. I bet for "El Despertar de la Fuerza".

 

Star Wars Episode VII: Return of Windows95

 

Ha!
No access to photoshop here.

 

I like the wrap, but don't really need the EPVII tag. It's a new trilogy. It should get it's own treatment. Lucas didn't even keep the PT consistent with the OT.

 

Again, don't confuse the title with the opening crawl... it is still Episode VII

Nah, I think you got the right of it...

 

Thanks.

 

Very well said. It could always be both. A new Jedi Order and new threat of ... Sith. A new era of the force has risen.

 

I think the EPISODE number tags were marketed so heavily during the PT because they needed to promote them as being a prequel story line. The sequels will be drenched in original trilogy familiarity. Therefore I feel that by cutting out the gigantic EPISODE VII tag, they will accomplish what Disney is trying to do, and that is distance themselves as far from the prequels as possible. On the other hand, I remember the fact that the CAST HATS had the VII logo on them.. So I do believe that we'll get "VII" ALL BY ITSELF.. but we won't see STAR WARS EPISODE VII in any title logos.

I'm sure we'll see blank black promos with the yellow VII on it. Perhaps even a burnt Vader helmet with VII underneath it. If not VII then a burnt Vader poster with "The Force Awakens" underneath it will get your blood flowing.
