EP III title theory

Dude, Lucas has openly admitted to using old-school titles that are simple, like Attack of the Clone and Return Of The Jedi.

Rise of the Empire, Birth of the Rebellion, Fall of a Jedi are all good potential names and the final name will be just as simple.

Why doesn't Revenge of the Sith work? Just curious. To me it sound cheesy enough and it describes the movie well.

No, he uses 50's Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers style names. Fall of a Jedi is way out of that.

wouldnt The Phantom Menace be way out of that too

That's what I meant.

well, as a drama a student, I can tell you that the most powerful words are the most simple, and will cast the most lasting message

Well, 'Fall of a Jedi' wouldn't work for that. Revenge of the X works better, but the only title guess that really fits the whole TPM/AOTC vibe is Creeping Fear.

Basically, if you could see it on a poster for a sci-fi movie in the 50s, it would work. Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones (although as noted, the meaning of AOTC is oddly obscure) both qualify; other guesses for III like FOAJ and 'The Rebellion Rise Forth' simply do not.

On the other hand, these are only expectations based on the past, not guarantees. He may well call it Rise of the Empire after all; it would just surprise me, is all.

So, I guess "Revenge of the Sith" is a good title, huh?

Sounds good to me.

No... that would also surprise me.

The Creeping Fear? Oh come on.

better than Rise of the empire

Like I have said in the past, it is not down to whether you like it, but whether GL would chose it, and based on the titles before and his own words, that is the kind of thing he would chose.

Weel it seem that The Creeping Fear is the offical title . Personally I like it. Since Fear is a path to the darkside it makes sense to me but hell what do I know.
