So there we have it. It is possible this is just a working title, but what does everyone think about the title as it stands?
-
I like it. Certainly better than "The Phantom Menace".
-
Now let's just hope the movie itself will be too.
-
Aw, I wanted the adventures of Lt. Kettch
-
I don't like the title I mean the force awakened 1000s of years before hand (at least being used by people) but I still hope that the film will be good.
-
Well I'm not that thrilled with the title; you know, the force doesn't sleep duh!. However, maybe when we get to see the trailer and get a better idea about the context of the movie then maybe we'll feel that it is the right title!
but anyway, WHO CARES :p
whether the title is amazing as "The Empire Strikes Back" or stupidly lame as "The Phantom Menace" (and let's face it; "A New Hope" is not really a fancy title but nonetheless the movie is the greatest of all time), but I'm just so excited that we've got a title! it makes you realize that it's real! it's done! it's materializing!
This revelation means that there will be a teaser trailer coming soon, and I'm freaking out about it XD
-
I suppose it will depend on the context in the movie. If the title is alluding to someone (new major character) becoming aware of an innate Force talent (I wonder if Luke ever discovers the science of midi-chlorians in the new unified canon?) then it might make sense insofar as the Force "awakens" within them.
-
It's pretty good I suppose. Honestly, the only titles in the whole series that ever stood out to me were "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi."
-
It just amazes me how people can be vitriolic about anything and everything. The title is fine...
-
I don't like analyzing vague titles too much, but this could be good sign, if it means that the Force is back to being a more primal and mysterious thing like it was in the original trilogy, something that is always there, but needs to "awakened" through personal character growth like with Luke in TESB.
Then again, it could also mean that everyone and their mother will be waving around lightsabers and hurling force lightning.
EDIT: Sorry, meant original trilogy.

Fucking piece of shit I knew from the begining it was shit, but I hope, I were sharing hope with others fans.. But finaly and efintivly it would be a piece of shit !!!

It's a very good title !!!

*blink* Either you've got multiple personalities, or this is why you should register a profile - so no one can pretend to be you.

I'm bipolar and what????
I make bulshit mistake and error so it feel good to be able to say : That's not me that's him !!!

Easy, Easy he didn't realise that's all.
-
In all seriousness, though, you really should consider an account. It's free, it's easy, it's quick, and you won't have to worry about little misunderstandings like that. Come on in. We don't bite. Promise.
-
"We don't bite. Promise."
So I will be able to bite you very hard and received nothing in exchange? So disapointing....
And yhea I must warn you :
I received the award of the 1200° (of humor)
-
I was honestly expecting it was someone else, actually. :-[ I quite sincerely meant no offense, and apologize if any was communicated.
And hey, some of us bite. ;)
-
Not as hard as me !!!!
-
Ahh the guest turns to the member now. Welcome aboard.
-
Not as hard as me !!!!
Welcome. It is about time. We Revans must stick together.

I hope so.
But my expectations arent that high, from the Rumors i heard on Youtube ^^
Luke reflects on his Ability to use the force and withdraws himself because he thinks he is a Danger to everyone.

...Really?
The same Luke who basically gave Palpatine the finger when offered to join the Dark Side when all seems bleak for everyone? The Luke who saw his father as a tormented human being than a monster? The Luke who believes all can have second chances in life...except for Palpatine, but he may as well be Satan while we're at it.
...If that's the story of Luke in this movie, something clearly must have screwed his views, or he found out in some other life, he was married to Mara Jade...who may or may not exist in the new canon. lol

Sigh, I feel they were so desperate to create NEW fans this is really about the new gen and the old will fade in time. I feel like Pellaeon watching his beloved Empire melt away, while various factions that should be fighting together are at war. Dozens of splinter EU groups, fanatical new age groups, confused newcomers who have no idea what is going on...and here I am watching the pyre that is my EU burning away slowly but surely...

i feel you...
why do they have to reinvente everything...
there were so many really cool Stories in the EU, but no....
Unleash the Abrams to wreck the EU!
Well we can only hope that it will be a decent film...

They want to be able to be free to tell their own story, a lot of the plotholes and idiocy in the prequel trilogy were a result of certain things needing to happen in order for the OT to still happen. It makes no sense for Obi-Wan and Yoda to split up when Yoda is going to confront Palpatine, who is on the same planet as both of them, but they would likely have been able to defeat him together, and the plot would never be able to happen. Granted, this could have been avoided with better writing, but it is what it is.
-
Hell, I've still never understood why they were called the Clone Wars if the clones were mostly the good guys for it (from the general citizen's pov) - it could've just as accurately been called the Droid Wars, given how it was portrayed.
Am I the only one who, prior to the prequels being released, was under the impression that the Clone Wars meant some kind of invasion or uprising by clones, or someone trying to use clone troops to take over? Were the stormtroopers in 4 through 6 supposed to be obviously clones and I was just oblivious?
Or is it just that Lucas couldn't come up with better ideas, was stuck with "Clone Wars" because of Obi-Wan talking about them, and so ended up with yet another aspect to them that didn't really make sense? Rather, I suppose it makes sense, but just doesn't feel right.

I understand WHY they did this, I just cannot condone it. Abrams wants to do his own sotry, great wonderful and understandable. He's a great director and I liked his take on Star Trek. Disney wants to bring in new fans, fantastic, introducing new fans is always good, but there is no cause to alienate a majority of old fans by disregarding the entirety of the EU that honestly helped KEEP SW alive during the roughly two decades of no SWs movies.
Sells of new SW books have PLUMMETTED, not risen. Rifts have arisen that in some areas are quite powerful.
Do I agree with everything in EU? Of course not. In fact I was done after the Vong War(You really couldn't top something of that magnitude)Some of it WAS excruciatingly terrible to read(Crystal Star and Children of the Jedi come to mind), some continuity issues were there(Certain Jedi getting killed by Grievous, Savage and a Droidika in separate works come to mind) and I understand wanting to do ones own thing I really do(No one just wants to copy paste ANOTHER'S work, even Peter Jackson took some liberties and that worked out great.), but this could have been done with more tact. Surgical sections could have been cut if need be, EU could have been slightly retooled to fit. THAT I could understand, THAT is compromise and respect to the works of Authors, artists and game developers who often poured heart and soul into their work. As well as taking the fans into consideration. This just comes across as , "We own it, we choose to do this and if you don't like it fine, we will just make new fans."
I think the movie will come out and be recieved like the prequels, commercially successful, problems with plotlines, generally negative to medium positive reviews and Disney will milk it dry.
SW Fans on both sides will continue to do what they have always done more or less and eventually will settle into their rythms again. The Authors like Zahn, Stackpole, Luceno and others will find ways to either write their characters into this new continuity or adapt admirably.
I just feel that this new Galaxy is for someone else. Mine was already created over the last 20 years.
