Disney caused a disturbance in the force today with the official title announcement for Star Wars Episode VII, now called Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
As was to be expected, some fans are less than thrilled with the new subtitle, which will joins the ranks of The Empire Strikes Back and The Phantom Menace. Leave it Twitter then to make comedy gold out the entire situation by thinking up some better, and funnier, titles that J.J. Abrams could have chosen for his upcoming film.
