As Admiral Akbar would say, "It's a WRAP!" (sorry! )
Meanwhile, there is an interesting little tidbit at the end of the article mentioning that the Star Wars production is vacating Pinewood as James Bond prepares to move in..

Funny that STAR WARS moves out for JAMES BOND - and JAMES BOND will be in theatres first.

It's nice to see a film wrap over a year before it's due for release - to hone up the edits, soundtrack effects, re-shoots; really take your time to make something worthy and special.

 

Can't believe they've actually finished filming 'Episode VII' - never thought I'd see the day in my lifetime.

Usually major films, ones with budgets over $100,000,000 do to allow the proper time needed for the extensive post-production process, ranging from visual effects to sound mixing and sound design to re-recording and to scoring.

 

King Kong was completed the same year of release which may sound scary considering how large that film is, but Jackson actually shoots and edits as he goes and plans practically everything so the post-production process is simple. Same thing with the bond films. Quantum Of Solace finished filming in July of 2008 if I recall, only three and a half months before it's release.

 

Fincher also usually shoots fast with The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo beginning filming in late November, early December 2010 and lasting up to May/June of 2011, and Post production lasting only four-six months.

 

Some films turn out to be great with long post-production time, or short time, it all depends on the script in my opinion.

Wow Star Wars is done filming.. that seemed rather quick.

[Call Billy Bob]

JJ needs time to enhance that lens flare! But seriously, so happy for more Star Wars

[The Dove]

Just to futher everyone's appitites...

Not that we want to get TOO over-expecting, but I trust the words of C-3PO...

[x007AceOfSpades]

No Star Wars film will ever be better than Empire. And that's coming from someone who isn't a fan of Star Wars (I do like, not love, like Empire though) entirely.

I still prefer A New Hope to everything else, but to each their own!

While we eagerly await the title of Bond 24, Star Wars Episode VII finally has an official title; THE FORCE AWAKENS! Hmm... ok..

[S K Y F A L L]

The title is STAR WARS EPISODE VII THE FORCE AWAKENS

I'm not completely feeling it but if the story fits.

[The Dove]

I think it's kind of cool! Certainly could fit in context with a 30 year lull after Return of The Jedi and Ep. 7 when the Dark Side has been dormant and thus could be rising again..

[Call Billy Bob]

The Force Awakens, eh? New Jedi Order perhaps? 

[x007AceOfSpades]

Pretty much this.

[Hockey Mask]

I don't hate it.

[tdalton]

It's an OK title, if a little awkward.  

[thecasinoroyale]

If anything, it sounds like a video game title to me!

 

So I guess it means for 30 years after 'ROTJ', Luke Skywalker probably hasn't been able to develop a strong Jedi Order and the Sith have been quiet....until now....!

 

And I'm confused still if they have dropped the 'Episode VII' sub or not? It looks like they have...but they couldn't, could they?

[SecretAgentFan]

I think it´s fine.  And probably every new title associated with Star Wars will be a letdown or sound like a video game now.

 

I only have one question: Wasn´t the force awake even before Episode 1?

[Call Billy Bob]

It was awake, but still a little drunk from the night before

[S K Y F A L L]

There is a lot about the force we don't know yet. In episode iii Obi Wan and Yoda briefly talk about the legacy of Anakin but that is about all we know about the Jedi mythology and religion besides a few things here and there. Where did the Anakin prophecy come from etc. Now I'm hoping they go down this root for E7.

[Call Billy Bob]

As long as the word "midi-chlorians" is never uttered, I'll be fine...

[S K Y F A L L]

Not as bad as 'younglings' IMO. 

 

 

Perhaps it will have to do with Luke discovering the Jedi archives and unlocking secrets within......................

[Iceskater101]

Personally the force awakens seems rather fitting.

[S K Y F A L L]

Rumors are we might get a teaser trailer with THE HOBBIT. 

[Call Billy Bob]

If we do, it needs to have no dialogue... just great visuals, a few character shots, an action set piece and JOHN WILLIAMS.

[seawolfnyy]

Rumors are we might get a teaser trailer with THE HOBBIT. 

I heard with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, actually.

I have friends that saw it (as per Midnight showings and the Marathon showings as well) and they've mentioned no word of a trailer for Episode VIII. I still it's more likely to appear with The Hobbit, but I could be wrong. According to this article the new trailer was already shown secretly in front of a crowd in Europe and it showed the new villain as well.

[FlemingBond]

it's difficult to imagine how they'd have a trailer out already with filming just concluded. I mean there'd be no effects in it. I would think the spring time in front of Avengers 2 would make more sense.

[SecretAgentFan]

The first teaser will definitely be out this Christmas, tied to "The Hobbit 3".
