Ewan hates the new title

Via TF.N you can hear a funny sound clip of Ewan's and Nicole Kidman's response to the new title. It goes something like this:
Ewan: "Attack of the Clones? That's the title?!
(to Nicole) I just heard that the new title for Star Wars is Attack of the Clones.
Nicole: Noo!?
Ewan: Yes. I don't know, is that better than Phantom Menace?

See, hilarious stuff. Ewan has also been quoted saying he flet it was "a terrible, terrible title."

Just for your information. 😄

well, I think it's fake stuff.

check this poster out

And apparently Mark Hamil wasn't exactly overwhelmed, either.

Was anyone impressed with the new title?

No-one famous, as far as I know.

But several people here love it.

who cares what mark hamil thinks, its not his story

It's not our story either but we still talk about it. And I care what he thinks.

After hearing that clip of Ewan I don't mind what he said anymore. He was laughing and joking about the title but the way it was reported it sounded as if he was angry which he wasn't.

I've found that just as much people like the title as don't like it. And the ones who don't seem to have a lot else to complain about which makes me wonder why there getting so worked up about something if they don't enjoy it? Which is what it's meant to be about.

Yeah, I don't see why everyone is so worked up over the title. Its just a name, its still Star Wars and thats all that matters.

I think everyone will be fine with the title when they get some visuals so they can put it in context.. Everyone is making so much over this..

What?! We're all agreeing here???!!! Look, there's supposed to be debate here, so go on and kill each other off. 😈

Anyway, the only thing that worries me is that Ewan knows the script. If he thinks it's a bad title, it's either because it doesn't reflect the story or that he is being a sour puss again. I guess it's the latter. 😄

I think it's just his sense of humor. I think if I was in his position I'd try and play down the importance of these films as well. Can you imagine some of the letters he gets? He's already been challenged to a lightsabre fight in the street by some weirdos.

He has????? Poor Ewan.

He was doing a play after he made TPM and two fans were waiting for him outside. They gave him a lightsabre and challenged him to a fight. 🙄

I hope he has seen Raiders of the Lost Ark a lot and shot them.

😂

Well at least he knows how Darth Maul felt being confronted by TWO oponents.

Yes. Poor Maul.

pft..Hopefully Ewan doesn't one day share his segmented fate.

Ewan has a big mouth anyhow... He's always sparking off about one thing or another.

I saw some of the fan art for EpII and I have to say the title doesn't seem half as bad when in that context. The right font, the words Star Wars bookending it. Not so bad, actually. 😛

I have a fan art poster on my desktop now. It works for me.
