I had forgotten about that scene in Ep. 3. Good call there. And when Serkis was interviewed about his upcoming role in Ep. 7, he kept pretty quiet on who he would be playing, but did remark that his character had been through a lot (or hinted that the character had some rough ordeals in the past). Being murdered in your sleep by your apprentice would certainly be an ordeal.
So Darth Plagueis would kinda sorta make sense based on what little information we do know. What doesn't add up about this theory is, if Plagueis was alive all along, then why would he remain so silent & outta the picture during all the happenings of Ep. 1-6 ? Unless allowing the Empire to fall was part of his master plan all along, so he could rebuild it to his liking years later. (?)

It makes sense, but this seems very outlandish, even if I came up with the idea. LOL. We'll see.

Maybe Darth Plagueis was only killed from a certain point of view?

Hehehe, that's partially why I keep going back to them.Best thing about watching these fan reaction vids is i keep getting to watch the trailer again and again
That...and I know I'm not the only one who really loved the trailer.

Or maybe Darth Plagueis was resurrected? Hence, the reason for the title: The Force Awakens.

I don't think they'd do that...
At least not for VII.
Part of the issue with the prequels is that the plot was way too much in your face. You knew the major enemy from the get go, and therefore didn't care about the hero's or the sub-enemies...

I see your point. However, I have a hunch that the title of this installment, just like the previous Star Wars titles has a symbolic meaning behind it. Darth Plagueis was known for being one so strong with the force, as Palpatine explained of his former masters abilities in Episode III. In a way he embodies what the Force truly is.
So when I think of "The Force Awakens" I think of the return of Darth Plagueis. A powerful being that the likes of Luke, Han, and Leia have never seen before.

Perhaps.
But, they need to be very careful about how they introduce it. To avoid being cliche.

A small galaxy’s worth of tracking dots affixed to Lupita Nyong’o’s face allowed artists at Industrial Light & Magic to transform her into the C.G.I. character Maz Kanata.
And while we may not know which side of the Resistance (the film’s new term for the Rebel Alliance) Lupita Nyong’o’s C.G.I. character, Maz Kanata, is on, we do know from the caption on this eye-popping rogue’s gallery photo that she’s a pirate.
