Last weekend, the ensemble cast and crew of Star Wars: Episode VII had celebrated the completion of principal photography with a wrap party in London, where the majority of filming took place. Today, the commencement of post-production has been announced along with the official title of the J.J. Abrams-helmed sequel. As of now, the seventh forthcoming installment to the epic space opera franchise is called Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as revealed in the official title treatment below! What do you think? Anyhow, the film is scheduled to be released on December 18, 2015!

Its alright I guess...

MonsterSquad35 - 11/6/2014, 9:17 AM

Im into it

Dingbat - 11/6/2014, 9:17 AM

Solid Title. Not too long and familiar to audiences. Who doesn't know what the force is?

GareBear36 - 11/6/2014, 9:18 AM

When the Jedi returned was he so boring that the Force fell asleep?

Dingbat - 11/6/2014, 9:18 AM

It doesn't have Episode 7 in the title though. I'm fine with that.

kinghulk - 11/6/2014, 9:18 AM

ALegendaryPanda - 11/6/2014, 9:20 AM

I think I'm gonna hop out of this thread before someone starts posting spoilers.

Dingbat - 11/6/2014, 9:20 AM

@kinghulk

As a lifelong Star Wars fan, all I can say is I hope to God they aren't true. Right now, I choose to believe they are BS.

gamecreatorjj - 11/6/2014, 9:20 AM

will "Episode VII" be in the title? It better be

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 11/6/2014, 9:20 AM

It goes imo

TheNameIsBetty - 11/6/2014, 9:21 AM

Yay! It could have been worse. Solid title.

UrichLeeds - 11/6/2014, 9:21 AM

Good title.

SuperCat - 11/6/2014, 9:22 AM

I like it.

SauronsBANE - 11/6/2014, 9:22 AM

That's up there with Dawn of Justice abd Age of Ultron/Extinction in terms of terrible subtitles. Just...ugh.

Mrcool210 - 11/6/2014, 9:23 AM

Im fine with that :)

Love it!

marvel72 - 11/6/2014, 9:24 AM

pretty good title,it could be worse.

spidey1994 - 11/6/2014, 9:24 AM

So no "Episode VII" in title? Anyway, I dig it.

JAC - 11/6/2014, 9:25 AM

I can dig it.

JDUKE25 - 11/6/2014, 9:25 AM

Yeah....not really feeling it.

BigDaddyJinx - 11/6/2014, 9:26 AM

I find this title very underwhelming.

YeezusWept - 11/6/2014, 9:27 AM

Sounds like a fan-fic book or something. Also, the logo looks like a sandwich.

JDUKE25 - 11/6/2014, 9:28 AM

I don't care about "Episode VII" not being included. Whenever I refer to a Star Wars movie I'll say Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi. Episode VII goes without saying. I'm just not really feeling the title at the moment.

JDUKE25 - 11/6/2014, 9:28 AM

But yeah, it sounds more like a video game than anything.

DanoTheOld - 11/6/2014, 9:28 AM

Why would Episode VII be in the title? It is not in the title of any of the other episodes. They are only in the written "catch up" at the beginning right after the explosion of music and "Star Wars" logo

Nick56 - 11/6/2014, 9:28 AM

Great title!
