But remember Han Solo dismissing talk of the Force with “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.” Maybe this energy that binds the galaxy together has only been visible to a select few, while the denizens of the galaxy put their faith in the science and technology of interstellar travel?
This is what it's all about. Under the Empire, the regular people saw nothing of the Force and the Jedi became fairy tales. As it is in the Expanded Universe, Luke Skywalker reestablished the Jedi Order and society reverted slowly to what it was like before the Empire (up to Revenge of the Sith). I reckon that will happen in Episode 7.
It's a good title in this regard. I like it. And I'm psyched for the movie
!
