	Umm....scratches nose...aren't the Sith, y'know, the main bad guys from the first two prequels? Cos I thought that was who they were? The Sith being the dark side equivalent of a Jedi? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	So Attack of the Clones is a better title than Revenge of the Sith? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Apparently. Also, Genocide of the Jedi would have been infinitely preferable. boggle Personally, I think it should've been called Death of the Goodygooders. ^_~ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The thing I love about Star Wars fans is that they're always whining about something SW-related being childish and lame. Ya know, I'm gonna leave them to search for that One True Movie Title that would perfectly communicate the deep, spiritual message of Jedi philosophy and illustrate why we must always struggle against the darkness of the Sith...me, I'll be over here watching my copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special.

	First, much icon love. Second, I am proud to say I saw the Star Wars Holiday Special -- a friend bought a tape of it off eBay, complete with 1970's commercials. We used it to scar non-Star-Wars fans. And giggle muchly. While at least some of us were drinking... or was that when we decided to play the Episode I Drinking Game? Well, I know lack of sleep was involved. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	You have no idea. But I'm going to inflict it upon you anyway, because I'm mean like that. Meet the Dark Side. Even George Lucas is ashamed of the Holiday Special, which gives you some idea of how truly awful it must be. (Reply to this)(Parent)

1978. Done by Bruce Vilanch.

DragQueen!Luke (Mark Hamill is just post-car accident. My sister and I played "spot the nose putty and scar concealer"): too much eyeliner and an interesting shade of orange.

Stoned!Leia. Her eyes are going as many directions as her unfettered boobs. Everywhere but the Camera.

ContractAppearance!Han. Makes up for it with much wookiee hugging.

Wookiee porn. Interstellar cooking shows. Harvey Korman, Bea Arthur, Jefferson Starship (sadly without Lady Vader, Grace Slick), Art Carney.

If this is the quality of imperial entertainment in a GFFA, NO WONDER there's a rebellion on.

Positive stuff:
Made the GFFA more real. Not so many great deeds in the offing, just a family at home.

Softened Han considerably. He is a real person and not a mean heartless mercenary. He loves his partner beyond reason.

The cartoon.

"beat stir whip, whip, whip stir."

Some insight into wookiee religion.

	Considering that Ep VI was originally supposed to be Revenge of the Jedi, I find this title somewhat amusing, myself. Predictable and slightly lame, yes, but at least it's consistent with the rest of this trilogy. (Reply to this)(Thread)

I didn't know that tidbit but seriously -- the whole series has stupid, utterly plot-revealing titles: "A New Hope," "The Empire Strikes Back" "Revenge/Return of the Jedi," "The Phantom Menace," "Attack of the Clones." What were the fanboys expecting? They'll all stop complaining when Natalie Portman gets her top ripped off or gets stuffed in a Leia-style bikini.

My guess is that the fans have just desensitized themselves to t3h st00p1d of the original titles, the same way that words stop making sense after you read them too many times.

And even "Star Wars" falls into that category. You see the title, you know you're getting battles in space.

I'm personally amused the logo for Revenge of the Sith is identical to the Return of the Jedi logo. On the one hand, it looks like symmetry. OTOH, it looks like Lucasfilms can't be bothered with doing a new logo. George is probably too busy ~~slaughtering~~ writing the dialogue to worry about marketing.

	missi 2004-07-26 01:02 am UTC (link)
	Perhaps they would have preferred the more appropriate title of The Only Way To Save This Flick Will Be To Take It Away From Lucas . . . Oh, Wait, Too Late. Or perhaps, Episode III: This Shit Is Finally Over. Or even, Return To Your Regularly Scheduled Original Trilogy, kthxbi. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Well, judging from the number of people walking around Comic Con today with "Revenge of the Sith" t-shirts (not to mention the almost stampede-like exodus from the Star Wars panel that occured in order to acquire said t-shirts), I'd say a large number of fans are perfectly fine with the title. g (Reply to this)
