Third Star Wars film gets title - GoFuckYourself.com

DVTimes · 07-26-2004, 01:59 AM

The third and final Star Wars prequel - due for release next summer - will be called Revenge of the Sith, producer Lucasfilm has said.
The film, out in May 2005, links the prequels with the original trilogy by showing how Anakin Skywalker becomes the evil Darth Vader.

The film's title was announced at the Comic-Con International science fiction convention in San Diego on Saturday.

A Lucasfilm member wore a t-shirt that also showed the new film's logo.

Director George Lucas did not attend the convention.

Steve Sansweet, Lucasfilm's head of fan relations, removed a baseball jersey to show the t-shirt with the movie's logo.

"For some time now, the naming of a new Star Wars movie has taken on some special meaning among core fans who love to take part in guessing games and speculation before a title is announced," he said.

He then told the 6,500-strong audience: "Let the debate begin".

"I thought it was great, I loved it,' said fan Barren Wright, 35, from Modesto. "This takes it back to the classic trilogy.

"It's a smart move by Lucasfilm to tie it all together since the logo and everything is identical to 'Return of the Jedi," he said.

Return of the Jedi, released in 1983, was the last of the original Star Wars trilogy.

What do you think of the title Revenge of the Sith? Is it a good title or do you have a better suggestion? Send us your views.

Boring, Dull and unoriginal. You'd think George Lucas, he of the great imagination, could have come up with something a bit snappier, after all, Return of the Jedi was originally going to be called Revenge of the Jedi.
Alan P, Edinburgh Scotland

It doesn't really matter what the film is called, its guaranteed to be a blockbuster, and I can see it being the biggest grossing film of the Star Wars series yet.
Danny L, Kilmarnock, Scotland

I like it. It returns to the original trilogy and also gives a particular nod to the Return of the Jedi, whose name was originally Revenge of the Jedi.
Dave, Swindon, UK

At last! A proper Star Wars title that takes us back to the original three and hopefully let us forget such crimes as "Attack of the Clones".
Francis Gilbert, Washington, Tyne & Wear

It doesn't give me a warm and tingly excited feeling. A bit flat, I think.
James S, London, UK

Revenge for what? Suggests something before even episode one that happened to the Sith that they have a grudge against. Intriguing... a lead in to a possible prequel to Phantom Menace?? I would have preferred something like 'Rise of The Sith' would be better. Just makes my mouth water.

It has a more sinister feel to it than Episodes I & II which had more 'comical' titles. This would also have tied in nicely if Lucas had kept the original title for for Episode VI - 'Revenge of the Jedi'. On the whole - looking forward to what should be the 'Empire' of the new series.
Baz Ricketts, Stourbridge, Centre of the World

I love it, and I'm sure the movie will live up to its title.
Scott Visco, Somerville, NJ USA

I like it. It definitely ties together the original series and the prequels. "Return of the Jedi" was originally titled "Revenge of the Jedi" if memory serves. I believe the title was changed because the studio (perhaps?) thought the word "revenge" seemed too strong. So "Revenge of the Sith" strikes me as a good way to bridge old and new...
Rob Wyatt, South Lake Tahoe, CA

As an author of many books I am well aware of the impact of titles. What concerns me about "Revenge of the Sith" is that it sounds like someone is trying to say 'Revenge of the sick', but has a lisp. Also, who is the Sith? (So I am afraid this title doesn't work for me

It's not as if the other movies in the series benefited from anything better! I just hope George makes up for the below-par efforts of Episode I & II!
Christian, Cardiff

"Return of the merchandise" more like.........
Jon It's a lazy title which sums up the nature of the new films. It's an obvious but hardly sophisticated nod to Return of the Jedi.
Simon Norris, London

I love it as it brings closure to the whole saga. I'm putting my order in for the t-shirt now and hopefully I'll be the first in the office as it is a fact that most men of my age love the films as we grew up with them.
Andy, Croydon, UK

A great title, in keeping with the whole saga. The fact that the artwork even draws from "Return Of The Jedi" only adds to a fitting end to the Star Wars movies.
Simon, Herts

No matter what its title, based on the disappointment of the last two prequels I am sure it will pale in comparison to its predecesors.

what he said.

i don't even think Peter Jackson would be able to say it now even if he had total control over the film..........too may weak storylines to follow up on........not to mention the wooden acting, and this by some great actors and actresses..........hmmmmmmmm........could it be the director got lazy and tired after all those years of inactivity?
