One of many issues that occurred to me, I went again and seemed to all of the earlier movies, and this continues to be true even with the sequel trilogy now being accomplished, the titles of Star Wars Saga movies are at all times both three phrases or 4 phrases lengthy. They simply all are. So it occurred to me that one of many methods we might differentiate this film from the remainder is we had a title that was just one phrase or two phrases lengthy.
