Very funny, J.J. Abrams -- now what's the real title?

Lucasfilm announced Thursday that Star Wars: Episode VII will be titled The Force Awakens, because apparently Jedis really have a stellar sense of humor.

Luckily, when Hollywood makes a questionable decision, Twitter is around to berate it, and then offer much better options for film titles. After the news broke, fans of the saga immediately descended upon social media with the hashtag #rejectedstarwarstitles -- and yes, of course they made Electric Boogaloo jokes.

The Force will be awakened on Dec. 18, 2015 -- and not a moment earlier, or it will be angered.
