For Ep.7, people will be too busy tweeing "OH-M-GEE! The Movee is startin! Gonna b tha best eva!! YOLO! LMFAO!!" to even know what the opening logos look like.

 This, a thousand times this. I don't even go to the movie theather anymore (actually you could count the times I've been on a couple of hands - let's include toes, tops) but from what I'm told people do anything but watch the screen now. People have always slept, and we all know what goes on in the last row, where all you can hear is slug sounds, but apparently now the whole place is lit up with the glow of smartphones and resounds with loud chatter and babble.

So just put on a slideshow accompanied by a radio play. It'll cost less and not many people will notice.

The 21st century never fails to reinforce my moderate Neo-Luddism.
