So now Harry Knowles at Ain't it Cool News is saying the working title is "The Ancient Fear." So load an even larger chunk of salt on that original report.
Hope he is wrong or that it is only a working title because, boy, that is an uninspired title.

Attack of the Clones much?
Seriously though, while Harry is usually pretty good, having an opinion about this is premature to say the least.
Besides, at the end of the day it's the first two words in the title that matter... you know "Star" and "Wars" the rest is just a way to tell the one with Jar Jar from the one with the Ewoks...

To you, perhaps.
I love the titles A New Hope, the Empire Strikes Back and even the Phantom Menace (eventhough I find that one very abstract, or my command of English fails me a bit). The other titles I find mehh, with AotC as the low point indeed.
Given that the movie isn't due out until the end of next year, the title could possibly go through several changes before now and then. "The Ancient Fear", "The Order of the Jedi", and "New Dawn" could all be working titles. One or none could end up being the final one. Given Abrams's track record of this sort of thing I'll bet we won't know for sure until at least July of next year or, quiet possibly, until that start do early screenings.

New Dawn is the title of the upcoming (and canon) pre-Rebels novel.
Perhaps the ancient fear is a reference to the yhuzhan vong, and Max von sydow is playing the supreme overlord. A condensed and streamlined vong war could work.

HappyDaze is not a Vong fan.
Its set 30 years after Return, I hope Luke Skywalker becomes the primary villain and ends up killing han and Leia, directly or indirectly.
I dont want lots of lightsaber duels as well. Give me memorable lines and good story with action that has purpose.
I also hope JJ has picked up the FFG star wars books for some inspiration. 
I almost failed to notice that you were using the sarcasm font. Or is this the story of the Emperor's New Font and I'm just imagining the sarcasm?

While there are issues with the vong (mostly stemming from how over the top/power level 9000 EU Jedi were) they were at least different from the run of leftover imperial superweapons or yet another Sith lord, be they ghost or not.
If the vong were toned down a bit, they could be a good villian. Especially if ruled by Ming.
If the vong were used in a minor threat role, like This:
Episode vii the vong invade leading the republic to call on Luke's fledgeling Jedi order to fight. The republic is in danger ofvlosing so they call on the imperial remnanf that is under control of some new grand admiral.
Episode viii with the vong beaten and the republic this new grand admiral shows himself and wages war on the crippled republic seemingly defeating them.
Episode ix the Jedi order and republic forces rally to defeat this heir to the empire.
Max Von Sydow's Character could be Vong, or as I hypothesized, could be Joruus Caboth. Either way it will be pretty cool

I'm betting neither. I'll be surprised if Caboth survives, and if the Vong War makes it you can call me "Squeaky" for the week following release.
This is where I do think the canonpocolypse is going to really hit hardest. Not on gear, or starships, or locations, but on characters and situations. The bigger they are, they harder they'll be hit. A few really popular types might be rebooted to fit the new timeline, but that'll probably be it.
I figure Disney pretty much said it will not use any EU stuff. No Thrawn, no vong, no Darth Caedus. Just blank slate for new writers. OK by me. They will make money

I think they'll use names of places and people they like the sound of. They may use a basic description or two, but in regards to story I'm sure that will all be a blank slate.
