I’m sure Disney will want the title to name something specific in the title to give people an idea of what the film contains a lot of, and whatever cool thing they want to use in the marketing, in addition to what toys they’re hoping to sell lots of. Therefore:

Star Wars VII: Jedi Resurrection

Considering that Lucas pretty much pioneered the art of selling toys based on movies, and made a movie called _Attack of the Clones_, and then sold about 2 billion ever-so-slightly-different clone trooper figures, while Disney has named their recent hits _Tangled_ and _Brave_, instead of _Rapunzel_ and _Merida_, respectively (yet sold about 2 billion Rapunzel and Merida dolls, mostly to my daughters), I disagree.

Heck, if the Disney naming trend continues, SW7 might just be called _Space_ or _Adventurous_.

So it’s definitely not going to be **Heir to the Empire** , right?

In that case, my guess is **Star Wars VII: A New Republic**

I joked withmy coworkers it would be **Rise of the Return of the Revenge of the Sith**.

My guess, incidentally, is also “The New Republic.”

Definitely not. They are writing an entirely new story. All the novels and stuff are being ignored.

I like your idea a lot better. I would seriously subscribe to HBO just to watch that show.

Heh, fair enough. Time will tell of course.

Remember, it has to be a name that they can also use for a theme park ride. So I go with Star Wars VII: Teacups in Space
