'Star Wars: Episode VII' Gets a Name
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.
The Force is an energy field in all living things. It separates us, penetrates us and binds us together. If energy can neither be created or destroyed but merely transferred, why would one think it can be "awakened" or gone to sleep?? C'mon JJ, don't let us down!

That is odd since these are sequels and not reboots.
And also they are movies, not TV shows, in this case.
Be that as it may...
Man of Steel is way awesomer than the old superman movies. Drop the nostalgia and watch them, and you will see.
Dark Knight was way better than the batman movies of the 90's, and you know it is true.
Battlestar Galactica. Only a moron would argue.
So there's three....and I didn't even have to mention gimmies like Dr Who.
Most of the utilitarian design shift was supposed to happen during the clone wars. You can see this with the introduction of the Y-Wings, the Z95s, and the ARC-170s.
One of the expanded novels explained that the kessel run was a gravitational nightmare from black holes so the shorter distance a ship could do it meant they knew the best routes and/or the ship was strong enough to survive.
