Better than "The Phantom Menace" at least.

Is it? I mean "The Phantom Menace" was a crummy movie, but the title is decent. "The Force Awakens" is like some SW fan board speculation shit.

weirdly psyched, but I expect the series won't really get into gear until Star Wars Episode VIII: The Force Finishes Its Coffee
― da croupier, Thursday, 6 November 2014 17:31 (ten years ago)
At least they haven't gone with EPISODE VII dominating the title. Yet.

anybody calling star wars "episode iv a new hope" in 1977 wasn't cool

Given that he would've had to be a psychic, I'd say he was pretty cool.

The 1980 sequel, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, featured the episode number and subtitle in the opening crawl. When the original film was re-released on April 10, 1981, Episode IV: A New Hope was added above the original opening crawl.
I feel dirty.

I don't even care all that much about Star Wars and that's far from the nerdiest trivia I know about the franchise. Gah.
jaymc is way too cool to slum it as me. Come on, dude.

"The Force Awakens"? JJ Abrams? Let's just move on from this one already.
― Raccoon Tanuki, Thursday, 6 November 2014 18:02 (ten years ago)
i'm going to give it a chance bc some non-lucas journeymen hacks directed a pair of excellent SW films, but the problem with abrams is he's a hack who thinks he's an auteur and has somehow been given the power of one.

i think this title is v. stupid but i guess it's tradition to give these things embarrassing names now
― you little affront to god (reddening), Thursday, 6 November 2014 18:29 (ten years ago)
It's arguably a better name than "Phantom Menace"

i feel like we're missing an event between the jedi returning and the force awakening. specifically when the force went to bed after the jedi returned
― da croupier, Thursday, 6 November 2014 18:38 (ten years ago)
like star wars vii should be "hey isn't that the dude from girls LOOK OUT" and then the force awakens in viii

Maybe the whole movie is framed flashback.

APPARENTLY it will be called Episode VII in the opening crawl but that is NOT part of the official title
guess Disney are trying to get away from episode numbers due to infinite spinoffs
― Number None, Thursday, 6 November 2014 18:53 (ten years ago)
How wonderful to live in a cultural landscape in which sentences such as this make even the slightest bit of sense.

Spinoffs/standalones to be given things like "Episode 7.5: That Han Solo Jawn"
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 6 November 2014 19:09 (ten years ago)
It could have been almost any one of these titles and I would have been happier.

I watched one of them when it came on TV back in the 80s and it scared me too much to make it through. An Ewok gets killed or something? A scary monster? I don't know. I had been waiting to watch it for weeks but I couldn't hack.
