> [@cactus waltz](#): > > Episode III - The Name Of The Movie Is Going To Get Ridiculed No Matter What We Pick, So Why Even Bother? If that’s true, they could just go the other direction with it: _Episode III: Caca Doodie_. Likely to be more descriptive than either of the last two movie titles were. ---

> [@Michael Ellis](#): > > _EPISODE III - The Imminent Threat_ > > The Jedi Council spends the whole film arguing over whether whoever the baddies from the first two films were actually “an imminent threat” until the end of the film, wherein Darth Vader kills them all. I think that’d actually be kind of funny, if done right. “The Separatists have blockaded the trade bazaars at Tatooine, and are working with Jabba the Hutt, Boba Fett, Lando Calrissian, and [insert other reference to the Original Trilogy here]. Is it… legal?” _cue sudden heavy breathing, lightsaber noises, and screaming_ Add my voice to the cries (well, mutters) of disgust at “The Creeping Fear.” Here’s hoping it isn’t the real title. Here’s hoping\* more\* that, regardless of title, the movie manages\* not\* to suck. ---

Well, as accurate as the original title for Episode II, _Send in the Clones_ would have been, it had some other connotations that the filmmakers weren’t comfortable with. But I will admit, I had my Quatloos riding on _Fall of the Republic_ or _Rise of the Empire_ as the title for Ep. III. Ranchoth (Don’t bother, they’re here.) ---

> [@](#): > > Some awkward titles I eventually get used to, but I still don’t like Attack of the Clones. Not only is it completely B-movieish, unoriginal, and not epic at all Y’know, it bothered me for about five minutes. But the more I thought about it the more realized it is perfect. Lucas’ movies have always been B-class flicks. > [@](#): > > doesn’t even accurately describe the movie! “Attack of the Clones” implies that clones are, well, attacking. The only clones that do any attacking are the good guys! I think you may want to take a closer look. The Clones attacking is the key event that sparked the rise of the Empire. When they attacked, Dooku finally had a good causus belli to take his systems into revolt. Of course, it was all orchestrated by Dooku and Sidious/Palpatine anyway, but that was expected. But the Jedi played right into Palpatine’s hands, and sparked the conflict that would result in their deaths. ---

It’s going to be interesting when episodes IV - VI come out on DVD this year. I think a lot of people are going to realize that they were full of a lot of the same things that people are complaining about here. They have bad acting (although they did have Harrison Ford). They have Lucas directing. The things that bugged me about episode I were Jar Jar and the overuse (or bad use) of CGI. Both were well toned down in episode II. None of the movies were deep and meaningful, but they are great popcorn action adventure. In closing… die Jar Jar, die! ---
