Star Wars Episode III:Revenge Of The Sith

ROTS

I knew it!!!!! big grin eek!

Nic-Kan2344
GOTO THE OS! ITS HERE REVENGE OF THE SITH!!!!!

§pearhead
Revenge of the Sith...?

What exactly are they avenging? Darth Maul's death? I don't see that confused

Or is it something blatantly obvious that I'm missing because I'm overlooking it embarrasment

Boris
The jedi nearly wiped the sith out, now the sith think they wipe the jedi out excating their revenge.

§pearhead
Actually, I thought the Sith wiped themselves out messed

waynerobsonuk
well its the title many people predicted years ago so its not exactly a big suprise.
Would have been nicer if it had a title no one had thought of then we could all discuss it. But as it is 'revenge of teh sith' has been done to death already over the years.

Wayne...

Sauron
as i have already said

I wont believe this incredibly crappy name
Even if george lucas write 'this is the title' on his penis, and then slaps me round the face with it, imprinting the name onto my cheeks....i will not believe it

Boris
Whats wrong with it?It fits perfect

yerssot
you beat me to it smile

yerssot
two threads about it here

I think it's a nice wink to ROTJ

Corsie
Yes!! We finally have the title!!

amity75
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anything but "Revenge of the Sith"!!!

Darth Ravenous
i was hoping for "A creeping fear" but hey ho blah da me do

amity75
That would have been better. I was hoping for "The Empire Strikes"

Scarabi
I expected that title and The Rise of the Empire
Birth of the Empire too

And it's not bad it's a contrast with Return of the Jedi
the sith will become a jedi once again
evil will become good

and it's a parallel with one of the only sentences of Darth Maul !

amity75
I'd have liked "Sith Happens"

Silver Stardust
Bleh, Revenge of the Sith...sick

Anakin2Vader
I think its perfect

Swordfish2k0
Its ok but for not so hardcore fans its kind of wierd alot of people won't understand the whole revenge bit. Revenge for what? Plus in the movies the sith hardly get a mention.

PVS
its PERFECT!!!

OH GOD I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

SKEET SKEET SKEET

Scarabi
revenge beacause jedi killed all the Sith !
So they weren't really happy and decided to revenge !

cornponious
Didn't I tell you guys?

Altar[1stONE]
Episode 3 has a lot of tidbits that tie in with episode 1 rather then episode 2. and i quote "Impossible the sith have been extinct for over a millenium". That line always had a EU feel does anyone agree. I think when i watch episode 3 , i will not expect anything , everything will be new and ill have the same sensation when i watched episode 1 back in the day. When watching episode 2 it really had that connection to the OT , but episode 1 never really felt like a starwars movie to me , but i knew it had alot to contribute to the story. Episode 3 will be a mix of the 2 and that alone is getting me really excited about this film.

ih8jarjar
be glad. it beats the crap out of "attack of the clones."

and it's way better than "rise of the empire" or "birth of an empire." those aren't bad titles but you can't have two SW movies with "empire" in the title. when i reference ep 5 i always call it "empire." if two SW movies have "empire" in the tilte then my friends won't know which one i'd be talking about!

moonwalker741
dammmmmmmmmn theres alot of people in this thread, and like 89% of them havent posted anything...only because these 4 threads are here...

Revenge Of The Sith!!!!!!
Hayden as Anakin in ROTJ Video
ROTS : There's a Video !
Official episode 3 vader enjoy

..funny

hana_skywalker
"Revenge of the Sith"? I think I'm the last to find out about it in this forum, hehe! big grin It's not that bad, but I expected something more... original maybe. The title was guessed a long time ago.

Sith Master X
I know that's what GL claims, the title was already guessed, but I'd be willing to bet that he's just saying that to throw us off. Never know though.

§pearhead
Seriously, RoTS is a horrible, horrible, horrible name.

We already have two "Blank of the blank" movies, and still, what do they want revenge for?

Boris
They do to the Jedi what the Jedi done to them 2000 years ago.

§pearhead
Did you miss what I said? The Sith turned on each other. Boom. They're wiped out.

Sith Master X
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REVENGE OF THE SITH!!!!!!!
I was wrong, and I admit it.

JKozzy

PVS
god some of you people will never be happy.

GL: ok guys, what would YOU like it to be called?
Fanboys: Fall of the Republic
GL: ok fine, now its called "Fall of the Republic"
Fanboys: THAT TITLE SUCKS!!!!!!

Boris
lol it seems your right, the os is contradicing themself's they say the Jedi nearly wiped them out AND that the order self-destructed, can't seem to make their minds up.....

§pearhead
At this point, any "of the" title is horrible. He needs to come up with GOOD names...and one that makes sense, moreover.

As horrendous as The Phantom Menace was, it was a good name.

And what don't you get? The Sith turned on themselves, the Jedi were only slightly involved in rounding up the last remnants of them.

JKozzy
I'll be happy when we start getting quality out of this "Prequel Trilogy"

el_barto
I like this title "You're gonna watch this movie and want your money back!"

Sith Master X
Not me, I'll be back to see it again and again most likely.

Fallen Jedi
is that really the title? blink i don't know. it sounds a little cliche to me.

El Toro
didnt Darth Maul say "finally we will reveal ourself to the Jedi, finally we will have REVENGE". so that means the sith had been brewing for a while on getting back at the Jedi. they didnt get their revenge in TPM and we all know the sith will take over in ep3. and as stated b4, the movies are canon and the history of the sith is pretty much EU so....correct tilte i supposewink

darktim1
it took my breath away when I saw title revealed on starwars website now that must mean that sith will dominate in episode3 for may force be with you all.

darktim1
I think he named it that because sith have been waiting along time to get revenge on the jedi because in ep1 darth maul said soon we will have revenge there's a hint for yah.

Silver Stardust
I agree.

And I thought they couldn't get any worse that AotC...

Creechuur
I was hoping for Return of the Sith. It would have been a nice homage to Ep 6's title, and it would have made more sense.

Rise of the Sith would have been nice to.

Oh well, whats in a title anyways.

Jayd265
if you dont like the title then dont post anything on this thread. if you dont like the Star Wars Pre-Trilogy then dont buy them or go see episode 3.

Silver Stardust
Hey, don't get me wrong, I LOVE Star Wars. It's just that compared to the OT, the prequels have been a major disappointment. I'll still see Ep. III, no matter how bad a title it has.

dragonx

OB1-adobe
Hey SMX give me a high five! Lets open a bottle of champaign and celebrate!

peluffo
I was wrong and I hopes we never talk about it again big grin big grin

J/K

SHADOW BASHER
George Lucas Is giving episode 3 all his got and so far GREAT TITLE, GREAT FIGHTS AND GREAT STORY i cant wait. GL it looks like you've got the star wars vib back again, Its good to have you back...

phinney6
I like the title, but a creeping fear I thought would be better

dragonx
creeping fear sounds more like a stephen king title then a SW title erm

VengeanceGOD
Mask of Evil goddammit.

But oh well, this is decent.

Van Hoe
To me it's the best title of all the prequels, but in french that doesn't sound very well : Star Wars Episode III "La vengeance des Sith"; i think it's that, but i wonder if Sith is a singular or a plural word in this title, I would say plural but I'm not sure. Is it only the revenge of Darth Sidious ?

finti
yeah heard it on the radio, it is ok

Anakin Skywalke
I think its okay....its too much revealing, I liked the phantom menace, there we didn't really know what was going on, and in Attack of the clones as for me......I thought that the clones was the bad guys...but wrong...then now EpIII Revenge of the sith...its revealing too much.....but is okay

Ushgarak
Spearhead, regardless of what you say you are simply going to be wrong. Whilst the Sith emasculated themselves with internecine struggle, Maul's line in TPM "At last we shall reveal ourselves to the Jedi; at last we shall have our revenge." makes it totally canonical that the Jedi were responsible for the Sith's 'final' defeat.

Anyway, it's not a surprise name, but of many of the predicted names, RotS IS one that fits the 50s Flash Gordon feel.

yerssot
after a good sleep and a clear thinking...

the name is perfectly fitting... definitly in the line of star wars, great wink to ROTJ... menacing and all ... I love the name, now hopefully the movie won't disappoint wink

Creechuur
Too revealing??? Whats to reveal? We already know how the movie ends, the exciting part will be seeing how it gets there.

cornponious
Well said, Creechuur.

corn

Ahnold
Revenge Of The Sith? At least its not The Creeping Fear...

Darth_Duffy
i like it but would have preferred 'Rise Of The Sith'

Ahnold
But they've already risen...

finti
or at least that they went into hiding

moonwalker741
hey i like revenge of the sith, nothing wrong with it in my view...and plus, any title geroge would release, people would still complain...so w/e

Jedi dersans
I think it's stupid "Rise Of The Empire" would fit much better, But I love saurons Quote that awesome I totally agree!

Melkórë
About the whole Sith wiping themeselves out.....that's EU, not Canon.
"Revenge of the Sith"?
Better than that 50's sounding "Attack of the Clones", but still.
George has lost his nact for movie titles.
I can just see it now......."Indiana Jones 4: And The Lost Idol"................

Jedi dersans
I Don't like it, "Rise Of The Empire" would fit so much better, But I love Sauron's comment that aewsome lol lol lol!

Jedi dersans
I don't like the name, "Rise Of The Empire" fits so much better, But Sauron's comment was so f@#king funny great job on the comment!!!!! laughing

Vim
I don't like Rise of the Empire. It has a porn feel to it. Padme's gonna make Anakin's empire rise! heh heh heh... Revenge of the Sith sounds a hella lot better than "Riiiiise of the Empire"

Jedi dersans
"Revenge Of The Sith", Does not fit the story, Personally I like "Rise Of The Empire", that seems to fit, But sauron's comment that was so awesome great job keep the SW world turning!

ragesRemorse
what shitty title, i think lucas just named this revenge of the sith because he diddnt get to title empire strikes back revenge of the emipre like he wnated. I mean what exactly are the sith taking revenge on in episode !!!. there not taking revenge, they are taking over. are they pissed off because darth maul was killed? lucas has really lost his element

ajrocksteady
PVS........
I love you. On page one you managed to use (that i know of) the first occurance of "Skeet" on this forum. You are the ish!

Sith Master X
*gives high five* laughing out loud Oh yeah! Revenge of the Sith has that....well it's got kind of a nice ring to the third movie. big grin

OB1-adobe
And how would you know???

PVS
thats ok sauron,
because once george was done slapping his junk in your face,
the imprint would just say "htis eht fo egnever"

PVS
"PVS........
I love you. On page one you managed to use (that i know of) the first occurance of "Skeet" on this forum. You are the ish!"

yeah, but now i have to wipe my monitor and keyboard big grin

revolution_man
revenge of the sith is perfect...its old-style movie names which is exactly like the OT...Empire Strikes Back? Return of the Jedi? those are classic movie names...ties is the PT and the OT pretty well i must say

ryzak620
The title isn't bad...I would have thought to make an even bigger nudge to RotJ he would have done "Fall of the Jedi", but that's just me.

As far as the title go, they're supposed to be cheesy. Lucas has said on more than one occasion that these movies are like a big budget B movie from the 50's. While I thought there were moments of Ep I that sucked (i.e. Jar jar), overall it fit the title perfectly. Everything happened in the movie, because Sidious wanted it to happen, hence, the "Phantom" in the title. Ep II was good, but the editing made Anakin seem like a stalker as opposed to someone in love...the book did a much better job with it. I can't wait to see how everything falls into place in Ep III, it's going to be a great ride! As someone who grew up w/ the Original Trilogy, this has been a wonderful time to be a star wars fan. It saddens me to see some people that are just bitter about it. IMO, it seems like Lucas owes you something. Enjoy it for what it is, a good story, that opens up the imagination!

Gangularis
i think it's perfect. it's naustalgic to return of the jedi.. plus it makes complete sense...

the phantom menace was a terrible title.. sooo obvious that lucas was trying to be oh so artistic and failing miserably.

yerssot
TPM wasn't a terrible title, it fits the same Flash Gordon sense the other movies have

Lyn
I agree with ryzak620. The movies are great for the imagination. I don't mind the title at all. I think it fits it all rather nicely...

yerssot
aren't you excited eek! stick out tongue

Sith Master X
I am! big grin

Lyn
Well...I thought I might post something a little different, perhaps more mature seeing as that's all I seem to do...talk about how much I like something or how excited I am that we are getting closer to EpIII...but if you're sure.....

I AM SO VERY, VERY EXCITED!! Happy Dance I CAN'T BELIEVE THE TITLE HAS ACTUALLY, FINALLY BEEN CONFIRMED!! I LOVE IT!! Happy Dance

Better..??

amity75
I didn't like the title at first but I've thought about it all day and it's grown on me. I like it and somehow I've known that one of the prequel titles would be ROTS all along. Shit! the abbreviation is "ROTS"! Thats a bad omen! Change it now George!

PVS
damn, did you have to point that out big grin

amity75
Can I just take the credit for possibly being the first person in the world to come up with that?

Jedi_Kiwi
I'm a happy chappy! I quite like Revenge of the Sith...like others said, it will tie in nicely with Return of the Jedi...damn! I'm off to watch my Star Wars dvds/videos now! DAMN! Who's excited about the Original Trilogy release on DVD and the Star Wars BAttlefront game??? BOTH released in September!!! Talk about a great way to get ya SW fix before MAy 2005!

Boris
Still dont know what they want revenge for, did the jedi nearly wipe them out or was it themselfs?

Jedi Priestess
does it matter really? I just knew there was gonna be tons of griping when the title was released. I dont care what he would have called it there would have been griping people just cant be happy on the whole that he released all this awesome stuff over the last weeks period. messed

Boris
I'm quite happy with the title but what do the sith want revenge for?

Jedi Priestess
oops sorry didnt mean you specifically. That question might be asnwered in the books.

Sith Master X
They finally conquer the galaxy, they wipe out all of the Jedi, so in other words, they have "come back" Just remember what Maul says in TPM. "At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi, at last we will have revenge."

I think the title fits perfectly with Episode 3.

Jedi Priestess
er SMX I think he is lookinf for an exact reason which I dont remember being metioned in the movies.

ryzak620
It wasn't, and if I can recall, it wasn't mentioned in either of the ep 1/2 books either. Knowing evil, they probably blame the jedi for the fall of the sith in the first place.

The ignorant never take responsibility for themselves...ever

Jedi Priestess
AH But did you read the Darth Maul books?

ryzak620
I did not sad


Are they good? I've tried several star wars novels, and found most to be lacking....don't know why

Jedi Priestess
Shadow Hunter is very good I havent read the other one yet. We'd better get back on topic! smile

Sith Master X
Well I think it's obvious. The Sith strike back in Episode 3, wiping out all of the Jedi and regaining control of the galaxy after they've been extinct for a Millennium.

Sith Master X
Also, might I add that the Sith were exterminated "by the Jedi" a thousand years ago, now the Sith will wipe out all of the Jedi, so that is their revenge. wink

Jedi Priestess
not all........

Sith Master X
I meant "most" lol

Creechuur
OK, heres my two cents...

Lucas wanted to call Ep 6 Revenge of the Jedi, but since Jedi are above petty things like revenge he changed 'Revenge' to 'Return'. I think he's just using the title he wanted to use before, but it fits better now because Sith are all about revenge.

CConn882
That sounds about right.

And I'm so damn stoked about the title. I guessed it in 02, 'been writing "revenge of the sith" ever since then.

finti
as long as it wasnt Rise of The Empire

yerssot
it isn't? sad

DaveTheHutt
Whinge, moan, whinge, moan... Let's face it, whatever George had called this film there would have been griping from some quarters.

And as for some of the alternative titles suggested by self-proclaimed SW 'experts' - 'Fall Of The Republic' - careful on the step there, Republic, it's wet... 'Birth Of The Empire' - keep pushin' Palpatine, we can see the head... 'The Creeping Fear' - Look, Darth's on tippy-toes!... 'Mask Of Evil' - jeez, no comment!!!!

Revenge Of The Sith works for me, and more importantly it works for a mass-market audience - the very word 'Revenge' alone conjures up thoughts of bitterness and evil, plus in its construction the title has a pleasing symmetry with ROTJ.

Even if you really, really, *really* hate the title (and god knows why you should, but anyway...), remember: it's only a name - it's really not worth getting that worked up about.

The Hutt out.

finti
I think revenge of the siths is a fine title, the best of the prequels anyway

DIE THREAD DIE!!!!

Jedi Priestess

Jedi Priestess

§pearhead
Sweet eek! i like 'em both!

Spiderdrew8
Not true PVS, I just wasn't on the computer Saturday

Spiderdrew8
Nor Sunday

Jedi Priestess
And you OBVIOUSLY didnt bother to look before you opened a new thread stick out tongue

PVS
"Not true PVS, I just wasn't on the computer Saturday"


so i guess this is your personal blog?
my mistake

Sith Master X
It was just a mistake, it happens. wink

Jedi Priestess
oh come on Sith I can understand not being online......but the threads with the title have been hanging at the top for the last 2 days now..this is just a case of not looking messed

Sith Master X
That's true, I wasn't aiming anything at you Just saying....it happens I guess messed It took me a couple of scrolls before I saw it.

Master Kadub
"I fear this thread will end badly.....very badly"

bigga187
u think the name is a good name for the movie...as was all the names 4 the movies, I looooove starwar, every movie, even jar jar didn't brother me and i know ep.3 gonna be great. But for the fans that dont like the title(but i believe if u dont like the title or think anyone of the prequels are crap aren't real fans.) how bout END OF THE JEDI, OR DEATH OF THE JEDI.

Spiderdrew8
I didn't find the title thread until after I posted this thread

Jedi Priestess
eh it happens......just always try and do a search is your best bet wink

VengeanceGOD
"Mask of Evil" is a cool name, screw you. smile

But yeah, I like Revenge of the Sith. It works.

darth_surgent
Ha ha ha ha! I chose Revenge of the Sith for the title ever since Episode 6 came out. If anyone is wondering how people could have a problem with this title, remember one simple fact: Many of these people are little kids with hardly any education. Also, the others have no artistic flair or poeticism (my word). Ignore them, for they would like titles such as Death of Jedi, The Jedi Die, and Jedi Doom.

Ghetto Goblin
chya and monkeys might fly out'a my butt.

Ghetto Goblin
and i have no idea why i said that, just an erge i guess.

darth_surgent
The Vancome Lady was destroyed by my first apprentice.

Y-chromo kid
I think the biggest surprise is the fact is that it's so obvious. GL always came up on my blindside with the previous titles. This one was mentioned so many times that it just couldn't be used, or so I thought. Nevertheless it is fitting, if a little unimaginative.

Sith Master X
Hey, I was the same way chromo kid. The Phantom Menace, well that title took me by surprise, and I never expected Attack of the Clones. Revenge of the Sith was a speculated title for some 2 years now, a title which I knew about or have heard of so that totally took me by surprise even more.

Jedi Priestess
I have liked all the titles except ATOC........cuase that kinda happened right at the end of that movie. messed

btw...I now have force lightning in my sig! wink

Yodaisdaman!
I think GL Will probly change the title maybe to Return of the Sith, its just a feeling but it probly wont be true Happy Dance

pooperpants
i like the title Happy Dance
