The next film in the Star Wars mega franchise gets a title at last: The Force Awakens. Does this mean a resurgence in the Jedi order? Little baby Jedis via Han and Leia? Or perhaps still unknown future padawans that the original trilogy characters will meet along the way? Likely the latter.
Today the official Star Wars twitter account released a new image with Episode VII’s title:
