The film is months away but that won't stop us from speculating on what the opening title crawl will tell us. Three brief paragraphs. Pretend you can hear Williams' music as you read.

-----------------------------------STAR WARS----------------------------------

----------------------------------EPISODE VII----------------------------------

----------------------------THE FORCE AWAKENS----------------------------

Han Solo has reconsidered his relationship with Princess Leia, dumped the wench, and rekindled his romance with his old girlfriend from the Mos Eisley cantina bar (deleted scene) and took his buddy Chewbacca home for Life Day.

Princess Leia, now in therapy over the break-up and trying to forget she kissed her own brother while on the planet Hoth, has been promoted to Queen and is now raising her three illegitimate children fathered by Solo.

Luke Skywalker, having accidentally cut off his left arm while fooling around with a knock-off lightsaber, has dedicated his life to finding Jar-Jar Binks to help build the armies needed to combat the forces of evil across the galaxy....

After the title crawl, the camera POV usually translates downwards to reveal the arc of a planetary surface, followed by a ship moving either towards or away from the viewpoint.

Question is, which foot does it start off with - a republic or imperial Ren introduction? I take it the galactic empire is in smithereens though not quite done away with. After such a long absence it would seem fitting to reintroduce the established characters first, although it's always possible things will kick off via a third party.

As there are so many characters in the new scheme, it would not surprise me if the running time exceeds two hours. Does anyone have any ideas how Kasdan is likely to proceed on this one?

Star Wars, Episode VII: The Force Awakens

A New Republic has risen from the ashes of the old. With the help of his sister, Leia Organa, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker has established a new order of jedi knights to bring about an age of peace and prosperity under the guidance of the Force.

All is not well. The agents of darkness have stirred since the destruction of the Death Stars. Those seeking out the dark side of the Force are rising in strength and power. The Knights Of Ren have vowed to bring back the Order of the Sith and redeem the deposed Galactic Empire.

Luke Skywalker, sensing growing danger to the New Republic, has forged a military alliance for it’s protection with the help of his good friend, Han Solo. He must act quickly to prevent the awakening dark forces from bringing chaos and destruction to the galaxy . . . .
