I liked The Ancient Fear much more.

The Ancient Fear sounds like the movie will be looking backwards, whereas The Force Awakens sounds like the movie will be more in the present, looking to the future. I'm optimistic, and don't think that it's any more dull than the other titles in the saga.

This does mark a potentially dramatic shift in the philosophy of Star Wars movies however. This is the first one that directly references the Force, rather than just Jedi or Sith. Star Wars had an aspect of the Force, but also had characters on both sides that didn't believe it and wanted nothing to do with it. However, there was little indication that the Force was carried solely through bloodlines, and it is suggested that the Force can be with anyone, anywhere. All of the other films more heavily implied that the Force wasn't a conscious being, but rather a mystical (or molecular) mutation. I hope that the Force is now potentially able to be used by anyone, and that it does not follow bloodlines anymore.
