Star Wars Episode VII finally has a full title

More than a year after it was first announced, the newest entry in the Star Wars franchise finally has a full title. In a tweet announcing that J.J. Abrams' Star Wars Episode VII has completed principal photography, the official Star Wars Twitter account dropped the movie's full title:

Meet Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. It's a name that sits comfortably among the previous titles in the franchise, both good (Return of the Jedi) and bad (Attack of the Clones). The movie hits theaters in December 2015; until then, feel free to feverishly speculate over what "The Force Awakens" could mean.
