It was revealed yesterday that principal filming is over for Star Wars: Episode VII, and with it we learned the title: Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I have no idea who comes up with this stuff.

So look, I hate to be ‘that guy’, that geek who can’t accept change or new ideas with his franchises, but I don’t like title. I’m sure it fits the movie fine, it’s just that I don’t like the word ‘Awakens’. It’s such an awkward word. I write crime stories for my local newspaper for a living, and sometimes I have to write about people being woken up by a crime, and the word ‘awakens’ is all manner of cumbersome and ungainly.

So there, I have a very good reason to dislike the new Star Wars title. Maybe George Lucas will now read my blog and change it!

Beyond that complaint, though, it’s probably fine. I mean, ‘Return of the Jedi’ would seem to imply that the Force was coming back. But I guess it meant ‘Jedi’ singular, as in just Luke.
