I got some information while Lucasfilm was here in Australia filming Episode 2 that may interest some of you. The name of Episode 2 will be "The Rise of the Empire".
The name for Ep2 could be something totally different out of the blue i mean how many people would of thought "the phantom menace" would be the name for Ep1 ??

Yeah, it seems like I remember hearing something about that during the filming.. but if I remember correctly Lucasfilm said that it wasn't the name or somebody did...Help!..my memory's shot!
Besides, I do not think the Sith had their revenge in Ep1. They'll have their revenge when all the Jedi are wiped out, as the Jedi once wiped out the Sith.
The last possible title i heard was "The Shadow Falls", which has a similar "pulpy" feel to it like TPM, myself i like the rather predictable "Rise Of The Empire" which would lead nicely to "Fall Of The Jedi", but hey, that's just me.

I still think they will try not to repeat major words at any point in the titles of all six episodes, thus rulimg out 'Jedi' and 'Empire' at any point. Just a thought of mine, though.

I don't think they'd use 'Republic', it doesn't roll off the tongue that well. Hell, neither does 'The Phantom Menace'. I'm thinking it'll be more along the lines of shadow, within, darkness etc.
