MOD NOTE: The above link originally when to a story on AICN reporting a rumor that the title of Episode III would be 'The Creeping Fear.'

Interesting.

Don't know if I believe it, but it's not a bad title, not really knowing the context of it in the story.

I never really liked The Phantom Menace, though.

Wouldn't have though of it as a Star Wars-esque title, but it beats the pants off The Phantom Menace's title.

Pretty good title. Definitely the better of the 3 prequels. BTW, not being a very big SW fan I'm not sure but was Revenge of the Jedi the original title for Return?
It's just that I saw some posters with it on and it seemed odd to me.

Not that anybody can take that series seriously anymore anyway it sounds fitting. I think it sounds like something Ed Wood or Roger Corman would have made in the 1950s or 60s, but whatever George wants.

Actually, this was the top choice over the runner-up: Anakin gets char-broiled.

[Agent 76]

this title would be cool:


STAR WARS III : THE DARK JOURNEY

[zencat]

The Creeping Fear??? Yeah, it's okay. I don't mind this title.

[Agent 76]

The Creeping Fear??? Yeah, it's okay. I don't mind this title.

not bad , Zen!

and this one:

STAR WARS III: Rise of Evil

[The Dove]

The Creeping Fear??!!! That sucks! If this does turn out to be the actual title of Ep. III it will be the worst one of all the films in my opinion. I would much rather have the title be "The Rise of the Empire" or something like "Fall of the Jedi" those seem more like true Star Wars titles to me.

[ChandlerBing]

How about:

Star Wars Episode III: The Passion Of The Jedi?

[Agent 76]

Star Wars III : Jedi Trinity

[ChandlerBing]

Star Wars Episode III: Why Is Your Lightsaber Bigger Than Mine?

[Agent 76]

Star Wars Episode III: Why Is Your Lightsaber Bigger Than Mine?

love that one! lolll


and this one...

"Star Wars III : The Episode that didn't want to End!"

[ChandlerBing]

Star Wars Episode III: No, Harrison Ford Is Not In This One, Either.

[Agent 76]

"Star Wars III : Welcome Home Mr Vader"

[Genrewriter]

Star Wars Episode III: For the last time, we know it's the sixth film but Return of the Jedi is Episode VI. Got it?

[mattbowyer]

We always get so many fake titles, this won't be it.

Can't wait though, Episode Two rocked.

It rocked me to sleep. What a bad movie II was. Whatever the title of III, I plan not to see it. Lucas started the series on a very high note and each film has gone progressively downhill.

*Sigh* Why are STAR WARS lovers so difficult to please? Every time there's a new piece of SW news on AICN, the Talkbackers carry on as though Lucas went round to their houses and attacked their families. I dread to think what SW fansites must be like.

Here's what the Bond equivalent would be: "Yeah, the first three films were brilliant, but the rot started creeping in with THUNDERBALL, and then Connery left and it all fell apart."

I mean, isn't EPISODE II better than nothing (if you're already into the series, that is)? And does it matter whether Han shot Greedo first or vice-versa? For all I care, Lucas can reissue the original trilogy again in black and white and with snippets of Sam Neill's screentest for THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS edited in - they're his films, to do with as he pleases.

(I'll never forget the excitement among my friends and I when the first three pictures were re-released in 1997. We were all grown men and women [well, students ], yet there we were, as giddy as schoolkids, geeking out like there was no tomorrow and just pleased to see the classic trilogy on the big screen again, regardless of Lucas' chopping and changing.)

[Icarus]

The Creeping Fear? I prefer Rise of the Empire myself - at least it doesn't make Episode III sound like a B-movie that might'a been aired on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

I was thinking the exact same thing about the title. I'm sure it's just a rumor.

Hey Tanger, posters with REVENGE OF THE JEDI on it are like gold.

Name your own price kinda thing.

[J J]

My vote is for JEDI ANOTHER DAY

Not necessarily. Remember that Star Wars was inspired by the "Serials" of the 1940's and they all had those campy titles and Lucas has certainly trended in that direction with Episodes 1-2.

Regardless of the title, let's not be too hasty to judge the movie.

Oh, I am way beyond that. I am to the point where I no longer care what Lucas is doing with the series. I don

[Tarl_Cabot]

STAR WARS EPISODE III: SITH EYE FOR THE QUEER JEDI





seriously, that title sucks! I heard REVENGE OF THE SITH was gonna be the title. I like that one...

[Tarl_Cabot]

Loomis, are you registered at AICN? as what may I ask? I am as 'Tarl_Cabot' as well...I don't participate anymore...I hate the low tech but the talk backs can be funny...no police there

[Loomis]

Oh, I am way beyond that.

Sure. Apologies if I seemed to be lumping you in with the angry, no-sense-of-proportion AICN crowd back there, Mr A. I know from your posts here that you're several notches above the "Lucas raped my childhood" whingers. But I do wonder why you can't look on the prequels in the same way as you look on, for instance, the Raymond Benson novels, i.e. as works which aren't up to the standard of the original, "classic" era, but which are still part of the "canon". I mean, if you really and truly detest ATTACK OF THE CLONES, that's more than fair enough, but I can't help feeling that "old school" STAR WARS fans severely underrate the prequels (and severely overrate the original trilogy).

Tarl, yes, I am registered at AICN, although I very, very rarely post there. Most recently I went under the alias Shanghai Nicky (like "Loomis", a name quite literally plucked from thin air on the spur of the moment - my name's not Nicky, and neither am I from Shanghai), although I have used three or four other names over the years, but I can't actually remember any of them!

[Tarl_Cabot]

The problem I have with the prequels has been primarily Anakin. He is so unappealing as a character. I will be happy when he becomes Vader...that's not the intended emotional response Lucas wants us to have....supposed to be a greek tradegy I assume...The CGI sucks too. In fact I blame DAD on G-lu...he's ed up Hollywood! There's no realism in movies anymore!

[Genrewriter]

True, I do think Lucas has inadvertantly screwed up his original intent with the character of Anakin. Maybe it would have been better to start off with him as an apprentice rather than as a kid. I like the prequels, but only half of Episode II before the last forty minutes really works for me (the Obi-Wan stuff).
