This might have been a thing to prevent fanboys from stealing them, maybe, by calling it Charlotte instead of Star Wars?

George did the same thing with Return of the Jedi, calling it Blue Harvest to throw off fanboys who tried to get on set.

You can't get a screenshot of the dvd player!

I think Kozzy was talking to SpyCspider.

Indeed I was. Not sure what else it could've meant... Ast's post was after mine 😖

messed up is right, sry.

It's named "Charlotte" on purpose.
From StarWars.com:
"Some attentive fans who boot up the new Revenge of the Sith DVD on their computer might find a strange name attached to the DVD icon appearing on their desktop: CHARLOTTE..."

Thank God... I was afraid it was reference to Lucas's kid's favourite band 'Good Charlotte' *cringe*

Yep... that was also my fear.

cool that clears things up, i'll have to go out and buy another one and keep it in the wrapper, cause in another 50 years it will be worth 30 bucks. 😆

Ok, so is there some kind of connection between the film "Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte" and "Revenge of the Sith"? Some intertwining thread? It never said why HHSC! Anybody seen it?

It did say why

Though "Charlotte" may seem to be a random name assigned to protect the Episode III project, Ling explains that it and the names used on previous Star Wars DVD projects were carefully selected to meet a certain set of criteria. "Firstly, they each had to be a single-word female name, just to keep it pleasant and short; secondly, it had to relate to a film that was owned or distributed by [Star Wars saga distributor] Twentieth Century Fox, so there was that additional layer of subterfuge that gave it a plausible link between the name and some other Fox-owned title; and thirdly, the film title being used as a decoy was ideally one for which that film's DVD was actually in production and slated to be released around the same time as its Star Wars counterpart."
