‘Star Wars: Episode VII’ Reveals Title: ‘The Force Awakens’

Did we just feel a disturbance in the Force?

The official title for the seventh installment in the “Star Wars” franchise has been revealed!

“‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ has completed principal photography,” Disney/Lucasfilm announced on Thursday.

The title begs many questions: Did Luke Skywalker (who appears in the upcoming movie) have trouble with his Jedi powers since we last saw him in “Return of the Jedi”? Have there been Jedi this whole time just waiting to reveal themselves? Is there a character that fans are familiar with who taps into the Force finally?
