Earlier today, we learned that Star Wars: Episode VII finally received an official title from Disney and Lucasfilm. The film will now be known as The Force Awakens, and will hit theaters in December of 2015. With all news, there comes reactions - namely on Twitter. Let's take a look at how Star Wars fans have been reacting to the new title below!
Read our previous coverage of this news, with some more rumors, right here:
The Force Awakens. Clearly this isn't the worst title that J.J. Abrams and the rest of the crew could have come up with, right? It makes sense, too! It's been a very long time since we've seen these characters, so surely an awakening is appropriate!
No matter how much we defend the title, we can't stop Twitter. Take a look at some Twitter reactions below:
