Also the more i learn about John Boyega, well, how can one not be excited?

The title might mean something really interesting. Like maybe the force mysteriously strengthens in presence which causes Luke to go nuts with his Jedi powers going on overload. Just sayin...the title might have more meaning to the plot then we think.

Luke is gonna get caught juicin' his midi-chlorine count and he'll have the Force equivalent of roid rage.

Well honestly I love that we don't know what is going to happen. This really brings me back to the old days when all the rumors and speculation ran wild of people trying to figure out what was going to happen in the next sequel. The prequels never had that mystic because overall we knew what was coming and how it all was going to end. Despite others being upset, this is also why I am happy they are not directly using the EU stuff. It keeps that wonder going and anticipation to see what is going to happen next.

I'm fascinated as to how Disney are gonna sell this to kids as well as adults.

There's no way in hell they won't be making plush toys and beanie babies of these characters, so it can't be as dark as the spoilers are suggesting.

Would Disney have allowed Anakin to slaughter them cute midichlorian children?

OK, haven't read the whole thread since the title came out so what jokes have been done so far?

An article from Latino Review:

Spoiler

Ever since it was announced that Luke Skywalker would be back for Star Wars: Episode VII, people have speculated about what the character would be like this time around. We know that 30 years have past since the conclusion of Return of The Jedi. We also know that Luke had adopted a bit of a darker edge in that film, and many folks wondered if we might see him go full Sith this time around. After all, the character went through quite a lot in the original trilogy, and it would make for some interesting storytelling to see him fall to the dark side.

Now, according to Making Star Wars, we may have our first glimpse of how Luke may be portrayed this time around.

If true, the following bullet-points contain *MAJOR SPOILERS* so proceed at your own caution:

Somewhere between Episode VI and Episode VII he experienced some sort of Force breakthrough, rendering him the most powerful Jedi that has ever existed
He doesn't trust himself with these abilities
He doesn't have full control over them, meaning he accidentally causes disturbances without even trying to
Luke has put himself into self-imposed seclusion because he fears his powers would be used to disrupt the balance
He's terrified of following in his father's footsteps and being seduced by the Dark Side now that he has such unlimited power
The hero and villain of Episode VII both lure him out of hiding during the course of the film, each hoping to have access to his abilities for their own needs
His sanity is unclear, even to those that know him best. Since unleashing the full scope of the Force's powers, there's an unhinged fire that lurks in his eyes
He gets uncontrollable visions that include friends and family that have long been gone, as well as premonitions about the future
That last one is a bit of a kicker, as it opens the door for revisiting some classic characters. It means we could be getting conversations, or other types of moments, that will include the likes of Yoda, Darth Vader, the Emperor, and Obi-Wan- which will all take place within Luke's psyche.

The report concludes that by the end of Star Wars: Episode VII we'll know exactly what side of things Luke lands on, but that the mystery surrounding that will be present throughout the film.

That sounds pretty great

Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your hatred, and your journey towards the dark side will be complete.

Eh, not gonna lie. I'd waste 'im.

Popping in to chime in on the title. Meh. The Ancient Fear sounded better. Both could allude to a villain from the past returning though. Still holding out for Darth Plagueis. It'd be a nice acknowledgement of the PT for those fans and is obscure enough of a reference that I can still block the rest of those plots from my mind and accept these as canon (if they're good).

I think after a 30 year+ hiatus, "The Force Awakens" is a fine title.

Disney did hang a kid in the begining of POTC: At Worlds End.
