After some minor hiccups and good times to be had overall, Star Wars: Episode VII has finally wrapped up filming, Disney announced Thursday.
Like all of the movies in the storied franchise, each is distinguished from its subtitle. Episode VII isn’t screwing with tradition henceforth, it shall be known as The Force Awakens.
Via The Verge:
That’s no surprise given that director J.J. Abrams has made it clear that Episode VII is meant to feel like an extension of the original trilogy. He’s said to be leaning heavily on practical effects, and the fact that he’s brought back much of the original cast should help a good deal too.
Disney also confirmed reports that filming has wrapped on Episode VII. That doesn’t mean it’s particularly close to a release, though: the film is still scheduled for December 18th of next year. Disney still hasn’t confirmed who will be writing and directing Episode VIII, though at this point Rian Johnson has made it pretty clear that reports of him taking charge are accurate. He’s believed to be writing the treatment for Episode IX as well. It’s not known if Abrams will have any involvement in the later movies.
Let us know how you feel about the movie title in the comment section below. We’re sure the film pundits are cooking up some hilarious memes as we speak.
