When is the last Star Wars coming out?!?!?!?!

I can't wait for this movie...and it's music. I've seen (I think) all but one so far.

I thought i remember reading that George was quoted as saying the fans pretty much guessed the subtitle of the movie a while back....he didn't come out officially saying it but "Rise of the Empire" was the most prominent

BREAKING NEWS!

Official title of Star Wars Episode III is "Revenge of the Sith"

And there you have it folks, the least retarded sounding prequel title yet! I bet he just named it that so it would be a sort of bookend to Return of the Jedi (which, coincidentally, was originally going to be called Revenge of the Jedi...)

That's a crappy title if you ask me.

yeah, that title does suck.

So, WHEN IS THE LAST EPISODE COMING OUT?!?!?!?!

It already did, and was called return of the jedi.

The new 3 are not only prequels, but I also don't fully count them as existing.

eh, I liked Episode II. And number III is probably going to be pretty good. But Phantom Menace blew monkey chunks. They should completely remake it to not suck and have ninjas secretly replace everybody's DVD of it.

Yeah, but compared to "The Phantom Menace?" And "Attack of the Clones?"

"Revenge of the Sith" makes sense.

Is the thing about Lucas choosing names his kid came up with true? I always thought "attack of the clones" was an homage to '50s b-movies.

Also, the way they show Anakin as turning "evil" is the lamest thing ever. So basically...if you kill marauding, animal like madmen who kidnap and torture members of your own family, you become evil?

Sounds to me like the dark side isn't all that evil in that case. I was expecting something...well, legitimately ruthless to show he'd "turned".

It's coming out next summer in July. The Title makes sense and is a very excellent title, Also play Star Wars: Knights of the Republic and learn SOME plot hole to Episode II and refrences....

I love you. Platonically. Or at least I agree with you.

II had its faults. It's not LotR by any means in terms of scale and the acting is subpar, but that's because George Lucas directed it.

Let's face it, he's a sh**ty director. He's one hell of a writer (at least plotwise), and he's a creative genius, but that doesn't mean he can direct.

If III is as good as II I'll be satisfied. If III is as good as V I'll be astonished into cardiac arrest.

Problem is, special effects don't last long and that's what he focused on with Episode I. It's often blatantly obvious when a creature or vehicle is computer-generated. Sure, it had the first "digital actor"...but in twenty years, will people remember Jar Jar Binks at all? Nay, but Smeagol...that character had an impact; that's because people want substance, and Lucas forgot that.

The reason I love episode II is that it does have a solid story. Look past the crappy, "I wish I could wish away my feelings" dialogue and you encounter a truly moving tale about star-crossed lovers (especially given Anakin's fate). It evokes a powerful, dark mood and when Star Wars is dark...it is very dark (see Empire Strikes Back). They say the third one will be the darkest yet, and that's something to look forward to.

As for the title...I noticed the semblance to Revenge of the Jedi as well. The title, and the logo, make it feel like one of the classic three films. It's not a bad title by any means, and in fact it's perfect for Star Wars.

What was with the Episode II title though? Not only did it lack creativity and originality, but the clones never "attacked." Seems like they arbitrarily pulled the title out of nowhere without considering the content of the film. Am I wrong about this?

No, it's not evil. It's justice. But I do think it sows the seeds and in fact makes Anakin's transformation more sympathetic. He's obviously tormented by what he saw, and that can easily be transformed into hate. He did the right thing by taking revenge, but that scene properly conveys the inevitability of his fate due to circumstances almost beyond his control. I think it actually deepens his character.

The seeds of evil were sown well in "Episode II."

Exactly. Jar Jar may look convincing, but he has no character, he's just comic relief, whereas Gollum/Smeagol can almost bring you to tears at times because of his humanity.

To be fair, the Tusken Raiders were there first and the only reason they killed his mom most likely is because the damn encampment was too close to their camp. Real good job making me care about your characters when I want to defend the Sandpeople George, way to go.

I tired to avoid this thread becuase I have strong feelings on starwars, but lets just say I'm not a huge lucas fan, and he better deliever on this final film or else.

Revenge of the Sith is kind of lame but at least the logo is cool.

And hyperspace is bullsh**.

Ha-ha. You said you love a Democrat.

I absolutely LOVED the first 3 Star Wars movies.
It's because of Episode I that I'm nowhere near as much of a Star Wars geek anymore. Lucas really lost the whole feeling of awesomeness the old movies had. The new ones seem a lot less fun and a lot more manufactured.

quote:

I remember reading somewhere that Lucas was suprised when Darth Vader basically was precieved by the audience as a total badass...

Wow, Lucas is a friggin' idiot. "He's 7 feet tall, wears all black, has a helmet that looks like a skull, fights with a lightsaber and can crush your throat from across the room. I don't think he's that outstanding of a villain."

Lemme go off topic here.

Whats this "greedo shoots at han first" b.s.? This is like editing the guns into flashlights in E.T., completely and utterly pointless.

[sarcasm]I think that was rascist and the tusken raiders are supposed to be arabs! and Jar Jar is rascist too!!!!![/sarcasm]

Anyway, Vader IS the coolest person in the entire star wars universe, they should just have a movie about vader kicking ass, that takes place between ep III and a new hope.

No story just vader owning people, it would be awesome.

oh thats completely retarded. instead of having Han Solo shoot Greedo (the green alien bounty hunter) lucas changed it so that greedo shot first and missed from like a foot away so that han solo was actually defending himself!

Han solo is a criminal and smuggler no point in cleaning it up now.

I also hear he is not realeasing the original trilogy on DVD only the special editions!

So, the title isn't that brilliant, at least it fits and is slightly more inventive than some titles of some sequels/prequels that have surfaced. Personally, for me, I hope all the threads are set straight for the original star wars.

I think they've gone OTT with the computers. The orginal films had no computers and the filming of all the ships, seem to me at least, more realistic on the camera angles (maybe because they couldn't just change camera angles at whim).

Sometimes too much choice is worse than very few.



Slightly off the topic of the films. I met the orginal 'Darth Vader' at school once, he was the 'Green Cross Code Man' (basically how to cross the road safely). He wasn't that frightening at the time, but did drop some hints about the first 3 films (this is almost 20 years ago).

Anyway the DVD's of ep4 - 6 are already ordered for dispatch when they are released over here in the UK (20th September just in time for my birthday).
