The upcoming “Star Wars” installment from J.J. Abrams got a name today, it was announced, and in a sign of the times, it did not include the word “hope.”
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” reunites the old hero cast of Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and co., and will introduce a new crop of characters to the screen. Rumors abound that a trailer is already completed, and if a statement from C3PO actor Anthony Daniels is any indication, it will tease a film for the ages:
“No movie sequel is better than The Empire Strikes Back.” You might eat those words for Xmas dinner in 2015. Joy & Indigestion to the world!

Naturally, Twitter got in on the action Thursday with some #rejectedstarwarstitles, and, well, we couldn’t resist.
If only.
