Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 10 Big Story Hints In The Title

9. Will The Sith Awaken?

Presumably the Force will be awakening at some point in Episode VII. But of course the Force is not only good and there is always balance; evil mirroring good. The odds that the Force has been forgotten since Episode VI is unlikely seeing as the Rebel Alliance accepted the Force as an ally in its fight against the evil galactic Empire. With the redemption of Darth Vader and the death of Emperor Palpatine the good side of the Force looked like it was all that remained. But was this the case? In the prequel trilogy the Emperor was represented as the first Sith to appear in a long time, so could the Sith be once again re-emerging? Adam Driver is apparently playing a villain, and leaked concept art shows the remains of Vader€™s helmet in the hands of an evil looking character. Does the title refer not to the Force as a whole, but only to the resurgence of evil within the Force? Every film needs its villain, and this would certainly establish a worthy adversary for the new trilogy.
