The official Star Wars twitter account and facebook page casually dropped the title of the new “Star Wars” film today.
“The Force Awakens” will be the next installment of the “Star Wars” saga.
While I think the titles for all the other films are better, I understand that part of that is familiarity, both with the title and the movie itself. Though it has the least active title since “A New Hope,” I imagine this film will be a wild ride nonetheless.
And there’s precedent for this to change as well. We’ll see as we get closer to December of next year. But, if suspicions are correct, and a trailer is dropping this month, then a title would need to come sooner or later anyway.
“Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens” hits theatre screens December 18, 2015.
