Star Wars Episode VII Title Announced

So there has been a lot of speculation about the title of the new Star Wars.  I have to admit it is one of the things I loved anticipating about the Prequel Trilogy

TITLE: The Phantom Menace
MY REACTION:  Ehh.

TITLE: Attack of the Clones
MY REACTION:  What?

TITLE: Revenge of the Sith
MY REACTION:  Perfect!

So now the title for Star Wars Episode VII is revealed:



THE FORCE AWAKENS.

Some thoughts

1.  It implies beginnings.  A good title to imply further action
2.  Even though rumors have surfaced that this movie is going to be Han-centric, the emphasis on the Force implies a heavy dose of Jedi goodness (or badness)
3.  It doesn't give us any strong plot elements, so what this could mean is up in the air.

Thoughts?

  1. Not sure on the title. Maybe it will grow on me. But the font looks like Star Trek's.

    1. That might be JJ Abrams spilling over his Trek sensibilities. I just hope we don't get a rebooted alternate timeline in this one.
