    Overused sequel words that I DON'T want in the title:

    Revelations
    Journey
    Return/ Returns
    Generations
    Forever
    Revenge
    Back
    Squeakquel

    I realize that some of these- "Return", "Revenge", "Back"- have been in Star Wars already, and that's fine. That's partially why they made the list- while they're fine in the movies they're in, I wouldn't want to see them in a title again.

    I wonder if "The Ancient Fear" has any relation to VIII rather than VII?

    AND IT WAS NEVER REAL

    RRAAAARRL


    (Sorry, I get a bit incensed when that fake name comes up. Nothing against you, of course.)

    Probably anything that’s been in a ‘Transformers’ title would be good to avoid.
    How about ‘The Fearful Ancients’ instead? Eh? Eh? No takers?

    That's a good rule of thumb. Other wise, we'll get something like "Star Wars: Age of the Fallen Dark Knight"

    And then Batman would have to show up and it'll be a whole big mess with licensing and what not.

    It may not have been real, but it is better than the vast majority of titles fans come up with!

    I'm pretty sure that Pablo tweeted that the title for VII was "Shadow of the Empire" for quite some time...

    I don't know how I feel about that.

    One the one hand, it's be cool to see that title finally get a theatrical release, even if it has nothing to do with the original (along with stuff like Splinter of the Mind's Eye). On the other hand, it could get confusing.

    Also, the "Empire" thing obviously would be weird, since they're not technically around anymore.

    The First Order was supposed to be the "shadow" in that scenario I think. Glad they dropped it.

    Ahh, so the FO is in the shadows of the Empire. Yeah, that almost kind of emphasizes the point how many feel the Empire was more imposing than the FO. Probably a good call not to use it.

    I've been wondering, is the first order named as such as an evolution of the empire or is it related to the Force groups - e.g. Snokes first order that comes before (or is superior to) the Jedi and the Sith orders?

    Vader: With our combined strength we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy.

    Hux: Today is the end of the Republic. The end of a regime that acquiesces to disorder.

    I’m assuming it’s along these lines.

    I'd buy that on an t-shirt. Might hang to my knees though.

    That was one of them, yeah. But The Ancient Fear wasn't ever a real name for the movie. (In spite of this, people did a whole bunch of speculation on what the name meant, even though it was already stated that the movie would not have that name.)
