Subtitle for 'Star Wars: Episode VII' Revealed?


Star Wars subtitles seem to range in quality depending on the quality of the movies themselves. The Empire Strikes Back? Pretty awesome. The Phantom Menace? Not so much. Star Wars: Episode VII is filming now and it too will be subtitled, and Harry Knowles at AICN thinks it will be 'The Ancient Fear'.

A source within J.J. Abrams' camp has apparently confirmed 'The Ancient Fear' as the working title, and it refers to Max von Sydow's character specifically. If true this all but reveals he'll be a Palpatine-level villain rather than a benevolent Jedi. The title does sort of fit in with the tone of prior Star Wars subtitles

This could end up being nothing as in-production movies tend to have working titles that get changed prior to release. Or Knowles' sources are dead on and we'll be checking out Star Wars: The Ancient Fear on December 18th 2015.
