Same here. Many of my friends are more optimistic after hearing the title. I must say I was a little surprised (although pleasantly) that Disney decided to drop "Episode VII" from advertising.

I'm starting to wonder if Lucas promoted the PT movies with the Episode Number because he wanted any casual fan to understand these movies are taking place before the original trilogy. I totally get promoting Episode I as that so it is obvious it was a prequel trilogy, but after that I think people got the point.

I like when the Episode Numbers aren't promoted and only in the Opening Crawl. Now the new generation of SW fans will grow up like the OT fans and call the movies by their names and not their episode numbers.

When we were kids, we call them Star Wars, Empire and Jedi.
