Nobody else but this site is reporting it, so grain of salt and all that


http://moviepilot.com/posts/2014/04/...1390690#!GN90h

The official title for the 7th Episode in the 'Star Wars' saga has been revealed

'Star Wars Episode VII : The Order of the Jedi' will hit cinemas in December 2015
30 years after ROTJ seems a little late to be starting a new Jedi order, but it could be referring to a crisis that affects the order.

OK, obviously I didn't look at the pics of Boyega.

Order of the Jedi is not bad. Order of the NEW Jedi.... Serkis would be a good Yuuzhan Vong.

"Rrrr! Kill the Jee-dai!"

Yeah, imagine a Star Wars movie with a title that dorky. That'd be like if Lucas had called Episode II "Attack of the Clones."

Eh, I think "The Jedi Order" would be better if they insist on that angle.

Yeah, because it's not like a Star Wars movie has had a bad title before, right?

No, there's a problem with the transporters. That's why Spock had to take a shuttle to catch up with the Enterprise.

'Star Wars Episode VII : The Order of the Jedi'
Doesn't exactly fit the naming conventions set to daye

First part of trilogy:
3 words: article, adjective, noun

A New Hope
The Phantom Menace

Second part of trilogy:
violent verb (attack/strike) with who's doing it (clones/empire)

Attack of the Clones
The Empire Strikes Back

Final part of trilogy:
"r-word" of the "faction of force users"

Revenge of the sith
Return of the jedi

Revenge of the sith

so by this formula, the title will be Star Wars Episode VII: A Huge Apology

And since E.T. exists in the Star Wars universe, we know that they don't have beaming technology.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (2015, D: Abrams) S: Hamill, Ford, Fisher, Serkis, von Syd

I found this on another forum posted by someone who claims to have seen the script. If it is true, then it definitely shits all over the post-ROTJ EU.

Spoiler:
>Leia is made leader of the Republic after her predecessor's death
>Han is a retired veteran of the Republic fleet
>Luke hasn't been seen in nearly 30 years
>the lead character is Han and Leia's daughter
>the other lead is the child of Lando, and either a male or female depending on who is cast
>the other lead is a Stormtrooper, also either a male or female depending on who is cast
>dialogue for these two characters is very rough in the second draft
>Luke has no known offspring
>The Empire still exists in the form of a number of loyal systems and are in a state of cold war with the Republic
>The Empire is simply referred to as the "Empire," and the Republic is referred to formally only once, as the "Galactic Republic;" no "New" anywhere
>There are no Jedi whatsoever, and people still speak as if they are extinct, with Luke being "the last of his kind"
>The main antagonists are an older student of the Emperor, and his apprentice
>The apprentice takes control of the power dynamic between the two pretty quickly...
>The Republic are excavating ruins on a neutral world for a weapon; the world factors into tense negotiations the Empire have had with the Republic, and is referred to as the "Sith Homeworld"
>Loredump: In the script, the Sith are a couple thousand years old, founded by an ancestor of Palpatine called Ruin; the apprentice in this film also goes by that name
>the ruins within the Sith Homeworld are a control station; the planet itself is the weapon
>Luke saves the day at the end, but in a bad way; he has changed

I've heard that the draft Arndt turned in was basically "the search for Luke" and that a crisis needing a Jedi forces Han and Leia to find him. I wonder if elements of that have been retained in Abrams draft as I think that's a good idea to get reacquainted with these guys again.

Not necessarily. That was never established in the original trilogy and the practice may have been abandoned or deemed unnecessary.

I think that's what he's saying.
