'Star Wars: Episode VII' Gets a Name

Posted by timothy on from the see-that-was-the-teaser dept.

schwit1 writes If you feel a disturbance in the Force, it's millions of voices suddenly crying out the new title of Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens. The reveal comes as the movie finishes its final day of shooting (with many more months of post-production to come.) Although there were still a few days left of shooting, the cast of the J.J. Abrams film already celebrated their wrap party last weekend, following a bumpy few months of principal photography thrown into crisis when Han Solo himself, Harrison Ford, broke his leg on set in an accident involving a falling door on the Millennium Falcon.

    At least Millennium Falcon seems to be in the correct shape.

    Well, it was supposed to be kind of an old wreck back in Episode IV, I guess by now it is a wonder it is flying at all...

    Many years later, I think when TPM was being planned, Lucas disavowed any concept of 9 films, insisting he only ever planned 6. But now we're back to nine. Go figure.

    Disney altered the deal. Pray they don't alter it further.

    Might as well be box or cube shaped for all I care.

    Jar Jar Binks is simply evidence that George Lucas got his studio projects mixed up, and somehow Roger Rabbit ended up in Star Wars.
