‘STAR WARS EPISODE VII’ PRODUCTION TITLE REVEALED. Shooting in August. Maybe.

Yum! Yum! Yum! I am the Star Wars swine! I gobble up every morsel of Star Wars news. Turn away appalled as I gnash my teeth, getting gristle and grease up and down my jowls. Turn away as I rub the remnants of the non-news all over my sores-besieged corpus in a state of near arousal.

According to an unconfirmed tip, the next chapter in the epic sci-fi franchise is scheduled to begin filming next month in London’s Pinewood Studios. And just as Episode VI: Return of the Jedi took on the code-name Blue Harvest during its production period, Episode VII has picked up a fake working title of its own.

Star Wars fansite Jedi News has heard from “a very trusted source” that Episode VII is currently in pre-production under the pseudonym Foodles. If you’re wondering where the name comes from, it’s a reference to a Disney-branded line of healthy snacks. As for why Disney chose “Foodles,” of all names, for Episode VII, I have no idea. More than anything else, it sounds like a lost creature from Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2.

The same tipster indicates that Disney been at Pinewood Studios for three and a half months already doing pre-production work for Episode VII. Additionally, Disney’s recently signed a deal booking the space for the next ten years. Episode VII won’t occupy all of that time, of course, but it will take up a good chunk of it in the near future. Shooting will reportedly get underway in August, several months ahead of the “early 2014″ schedule we’ve heard about before.
