Principal photography has wrapped for the much-anticipated Star Wars Episode VII, and to celebrate the crew has revealed the movie’s official title: Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The sequel is scheduled to release in 2015 and director J.J. Abrams has said he’s tried to bring the classic Star Wars feel back to the franchise. The plot for the movie has been a closely guarded secret, but we have seen glimpses of Millennium Falcon on the set, and the film features Luke, Lea and Han Solo.

The working subtitle of Episode VII was rumored to be The Ancient Fear but we like the sound of The Force Awakens much better.
