Author Topic: Star Wars: Episode III Title Announced!!!!!!!!!!! Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-25-2004 02:00 AM                        Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith. Yup. Just in case anyone cares. I wonder how long it will take them to change Star Wars:ROTS from "Revenge" to "Return"?  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 07-25-2004 02:17 AM                    yeah....I can see the marquee now if that full title is used.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 07-25-2004 02:46 AM                     Someone pointed this out in another forum I read, but this one will make for the splendid typo:Revenge of the Shit. Nevertheless, this title is by far the best of the prequels. Perhaps the third time is the charm for the Star Wars prequels. I liked the other two, but they don't compare at all to the OT. I did order the ROTS Tshirt too. If I get lucky, it'll be worth a ton when they change the title! AJG  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

But I decided it would be more fun to stab my eyeballs out instead.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-25-2004 03:14 AM                  My professional opinion is: >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 07-25-2004 03:19 AM                     C'mon Phil, don't judge a book by its cover. Or in this case, don't judge a film by its title. If you're judging it on the sole fact that the prequels weren't too hot and/or the fact that ole George has fallen off his rocker, then maybe I'll let it slide. But this movie is going to have Wookies, and Sith, and twins: oh MY!

Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 07-25-2004 04:50 AM                        Return of the Jedi was originally titled Revenge of the Jedi. I guess stuff where it says Revenge is worth a lot among collectors.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-25-2004 05:03 AM                  quote: Aaron Garman ...I did order the ROTS Tshirt too.

Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 07-25-2004 10:46 AM                     So people are going to be walking around with "ROTS" on their chests? ROTS? As in this film is so bad it ROTS? This is just plain silly.

I typed ROTS out of shear laziness and didn't want to type out the whole title. So thus far we've had these acronyms: TPM, AOTC, ROTS, ANH, TESB, and ROTJ. As for Phil seeing me without T-Shirt: it will cost you. And your Jedi mind tricks (or your magical powers) will not work on me. I really don't think they'll change this title like they did on Jedi, however some fanboys may go nuts and say that it is too similar to the title Return of the Jedi or the fact that it was stolen from Revenge of the Nerds .

Revenge is something that leads to the dark side, etc. In this case Sith are of the dark side, so revenge is totally their thing. No title change is likely.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."
