I can actually picture Christian Haydenson declaring “You will taste the black sperm of my vengeance!”

Since we all know Star Wars is homophobic propaganda anyway, how about _Episode III: Gay Marriage Legalised_?

This idea for a title is a little personal to actually work but here goes…

Episode III: drm didn’t really even like the other five but we will still get him to be one of the first to fork over 13.95.

As for the title they came up with? I could care less. I have never been a star wars fan as the whole skywaker family annoys me to no end. I will see this one opening day because of Natalie Portman and no other reason but I that’s enough.

[Empire Strikes Back](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080684/) and [Jedi](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086190/) were outsourced, thank God.

Thank God, redux

I know this has turned into essentially a joke thread, but I’ve heard that “The Creeping Fear” on Ain’t It Cool News is no more than an April Fool’s day joke. It’s supposedly a nod to an old Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing movie called “The Creeping Flesh.”

Seeing as how ANH was vastly better than RotJ, I don’t see why you’d thank God for that.

Yeah, but given how Lucas specifically picked Richard Marquand because Marquand was much easier for Lucas to push around, you might as well say that _RotJ_ was Lucas’s “in-house” job as well. Heck, Lucas did most of the post-production and editiong on _RotJ_ anyway, and Marquand readily admits his role was nothing more than to do whatever Lucas wanted, without question.
