Episode II- Title Named (Spoiler, i guess)

Jebus it might as well be

Star Wars: Lucas takes a shit on the camera and you spend 9 bucks for it

They guy is over the loop

I hope to god the 3rd one (sans his royal beardness) manages to be as dark as they say it will be. I mean I want my Darth Vader to be the Darth that crushes windpipes with the Force for coughing when he speaks or cutting a fart in his presence. I like my Vader bad dammit!

Oh and Jack Lloyd can kiss my ass. Sawed off little pumpkin headed yuppie larvae is probably never gonna show his face on screen again thanks to his whinyism of Anakin. You believe Lucas passed up Osment for the little pisser?

Whats next for a title Star Wars:Jar Jar eats shit (actually I would pay to see that)

Star Wars Episode II: Jar Jar Dies in the First Five Minutes, We Swear

Please God let this not be real…PLEASE…PLEASE!!!

Holy shit it is Star wars ii “attack of the clones”. I thought my leg was being pulled. I read it on the official website (http://www.starwars.com/episode-ii/news/2001/08/news20010806.html).

brackets messed things up, sorry about that.

When Return of the Jedi was being produced, Lucas leaked the original title as Revenge of the Jedi. Immediately prior to release, he changed the title to Return of the Jedi so as to easily identify all non-sanctioned toys and miscellany. (The company line is that ‘Oh, a Jedi would never take revenge.’)

[QUOTE]

Return of the Jedi got its name change quite some time before release. And the original name Revenge of the Jedi was not simply “leaked”. They made a trailer with that name and everything.

What’s the basis of concluding that it was a ploy?

Star Wars: The Search for More Money :smiley:

“Attack of the Clones”?

“Attack of the fucking CLONES?!?!?”

::breaks down crying::

Why? Why?!? WHY?!?!?

Dear God, no!!! I was seven when the first movie came out and it totally hooked me on science fiction. Since then, I lived waiting for the sequels and have enjoyed every one. (Okay, I admit, I hated the damn Ewoks and I was let down by The Phantom Menace but, it was still better than Burtons POTA!) This, however, is going too far! If Lucas’ is serious about calling the movie this, it had better be damn good! If it doesn’t start out with Ewoks roasting on an open fire, I’m gonna be pissed!!!

Wasn’t there a secret evil military base left over from the Clone Wars in one of the Timothy Zahn novels?

imdb.com’s entry.

The Emperor’s secret headquarters and storehouse in Mount Tantriss, in the first Zahn trilogy. All of the artifacts and curiousities that Palpatine had collected in his conquests were stored there, including an entire cloning facility (and the hand that Vader sliced off of Luke in TESB).

Of course, Tantriss was nothing compared to Byss…but that’s another novel…

jayjay (closet Star Wars freak)

I was just talking about this with a co-worker, and he said “It’s like Lucas refuses to let sci-fi grow up.” Well put.

Hey, LNO, thanks! I couldn’t remember where I saw the Heffalump thing (obviously), gonna check that link out.

So far, MEBuckner’s suggestion is my favorite for Episode II.

  1. Star Wars: The Clones Attack

  2. Star Wars: Clone Attack

  3. Star Wars: Battle of the Clones

…or maybe it just sucks.

My dad liked the first three movies a LOT. I think I’m almost glad he didn’t live to see this day. Oh my dear God.

As long as the clones are attacking Jar-Jar Binks, repeatedly and violently, I don’t have a problem with it.

Tonight on FOX: When Clones Attack!

Tantiss, not Tantriss. On the planet Wayland.

It also had a holographic rendering of the galaxy, accurately showing all the hundreds of billions of stars.

It’s the simple fact that the title sounds like that of a cheap B-Movie (or a Star Trek episode). The dual usage that would result from calling it “The Clone Wars” is a tad obnoxious from an objective point of view, but people have been expecting it for twenty fucking years. Or perhaps something suitably vague, like Episode I had?
