Star Wars: Episode VII has an official name: The Force Awakens.
The announcement was made on the film’s last day of shooting, however post-production will take several more months to complete.
Fans have already started to voice their opinions on the title. Despite some pointing out concerns over the blandness of the name, most say that it still gives hope for a solid and true upcoming trilogy.
Directed by J.J. Abrams, the film’s full story will not be known for at least another 13 months. The shooting of the film has been far from flawless, especially after Harrison Ford broke his leg during a falling door accident on the Millennium Falcon. Filming locations include the Abu Dhabi desert and the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England.
The film will take place three decades after the happening of Return of the Jedi. Its cast will be a mixture of alumni and newbies: Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Kenny Baker, Peter Mayhew, Anthony Daniels, Lupita Nyong’o, Gwendoline Christie, Adam Driver, Oscar Issac, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Glesson, and Max von Sydow.
Prior to the announcement, rumors had claimed that the film’s title would be The Ancient Fear.
