If you’ve been living under a rock with not WiFi for the past year, you’ve at least heard one person screaming down the street about the new Star Wars movie being released, which will pick up 30 years after 1983’s Return of the Jedi. The film, slated for released in December 2015, will not only feature an incredible group of actors returning from the original trilogy including Harrison Ford (Hans Solo), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), and Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), it will also add up and comers like Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o (12 Years a Slave), Gwendolyn Christie (Game of Thrones), and Oscar Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis).
Finally on November 6th, the last day of production, the name for the sequel received its name. Drumroll ple– okay I’ll get to it:
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
