Guest El Chalupacabra Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror at the new title! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I don't think it's that bad. It's not the best, but really, none of the titles are that good. I'm all right with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas1138 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Yeah it took me about 10 minutes but I'm all on board now. I prefer it to "____ of the ____." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas1138 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Apparently they've actually dropped "Episode VII" from the title - and I think that is lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Jade Skywalker Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 From everything I've read, it's just for marketing. It'll still be Episode VII in the crawl, etc. I've been sitting at work for the past hour or so just jumping up and down in glee. Because this is actually happening. I don't know how I'm going to react when they finally release a picture of Luke Skywalker. I might run around the office screaming. At least I admit I have a problem.

Darth Lohr Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 It's not a bad title, but I agree, anything is weaker without the episode number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavonis Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 So the Force was sleeping? Was it napping like a little kid, or passed out drunk from an all night bender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas1138 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 From everything I've read, it's just for marketing. It'll still be Episode VII in the crawl, etc. I hope so. Call me crazy but I think it really changes the nature of the sequel trilogy next three movies if they are "Episodes." Are they sequels? Spinoffs? Still part of the same story. (I'm not saying we're too stupid to figure that out on our own once we actually see the product, but it's one of those if it ain't broke don't fix it things) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Jade Skywalker Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Agreed. The sequels should be different from the larger saga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El Chalupacabra Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Yeah, but The Force Awakens? Did it go to sleep after it was balanced? Does the Force have narcolepsy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sane Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 The titles have never moved me... it's okay I suppose. I mean Revenge of the Sith?? Meh. The best title was The Phantom Menace but that was for a less than stellar movie. Much better than something like oh... I dunno !

Zerimar Nyliram Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Apparently they've actually dropped "Episode VII" from the title - and I think that is lame.Good. Now I can be fully comfortable in not considering these new films canon. [Edit: Damn. Just read Mara's post. Oh well, it's still an IInfinities to me.] Not worried at the name. If you think about it--and I know this is hard to wrap your head around since we all grew up with it and it's almost everyone's favorite--but The Empire Strikes Back is a pretty lousy title.

Lucas1138 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 My very first thought when I heard the title this morning was "Hmm... that's kinda hokey." Almost immediately after that it was "Well, they're all kinda hokey. Let's do the damn thing!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedigoat Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Are some of you surprised Episode 7 isn't in the title? I fully expected it not to be and would be surprised if it was. JJ is going old school, remember? Of course it will still be in the crawl. Sure I'm never around anymore but y'all act like this is your first day at Nightly.

Rogue 3 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I've been sitting at work for the past hour or so just jumping up and down in glee. Because this is actually happening. I don't know how I'm going to react when they finally release a picture of Luke Skywalker. I might run around the office screaming. At least I admit I have a problem. I am absolutely thinking the same! Very excited to see our old favourites back, but with a lot of nervousness as well! Don't mind the title - just saying that it's ok to be a force user again after the purge. So hope this turns out ok! Saw a post on Twitter from Anthony Daniels saying something along the lines of "Everyone thinks ESB is the best sequel to a great film - wait until December 2015!"So hope he is right!

The Choc Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 It's so damn funny. When TPM was announced people hated it so much that they convinced themselves it was a false title and that the real title would be released later. ROTS was all "wow that's so dumb, it's so obvious, like somethig a fanboy would come ups with". It's a damn title, who cares. As far as not having episode 7 in the official title? I like it. Back before TPM was announced i always figured that once the title was announced that it would take precedence over the number. I was kinda disappointed when it didn't. As far as "canon" or whatever, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Who the hell cares? Accept what you want to believe really happened and what didn't happen, but always remember: NONE OF IT EVER HAPPENED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
