According to the official Star Wars twitter, J.J. Abrams’ seventh instalment in the massively popular space opera will be called “The Force Awakens.”

Also, notch another one in the “cool” category: The film has also finished principal photography. Of course, the big question is what exactly happened to The Force? Was it gone? Taking a nap? Or is it just a reference to a kind of passing of the torch or maybe the Sith are returning to stir it up? Who knows!
So what do you think of the title? Not quite as iconic as say The Empire Strikes Back but hey, it’s no Phantom Menace either. We can all at least be happy about that.
