I remember reading an article last week where it said that Lucas had decided on this title AOTC even before TPM was released.

Where did you read about that?

Ben Burtt said in an interview he knew about the title a year ago.

I thought Lucas once said that he didn't have any idea for the name of Episode II until recently.

AND Rick McCallum said that nobody but GL himself would know the title and that before the announcement everybody was refering to it as EPII

Yeah, but think about it, would BB, RM or GL tell you anthing they didn't want you to know. These guys are playing the marketing game to the hilt... They probably knew ages ago as stated and just kept it to themselves.

If he said that he knew the title, he wouldn't loose a thing.

Oh, agreed, but I think it's more likely that he did than he would lie about it...

Well if they'd told us a year ago it would have stopped people getting the wrong idea about what the title was going to be. It would have saved dissapointment for some people.

I dunno..I'm glad they waited just because when they spread out this kind of information being release it keeps people's interest up.

Marketing a movie like Star Wars is a shrewd business. Release too much, too soon or not enough, too slow and peoples interest starts to wane.

There's no business like the Hype business..
