Realizing, of course, that nothing has been filmed yet, no one’s been cast yet (beyond the main characters) and it’s probably way too early- let’s name the third Star Wars movie. Of course, we have to follow in Lucas’ footsteps - so cheesy B-Movie type titles (like, oh, **Attack of the Clones** are A-OK! My suggestion: **Anakin Skywalker’s Bogus Journey** Anyone else want to play? ---

**The Erotic Adventures of Anakin and Amidala** It would easily pass Harry Potter and maybe even knock of Titanic, which would make me happy. ---

> [@](#): > > Realizing, of course, that nothing has been filmed yet, no one’s been cast yet… Is this true? I was under the impression that Episodes II and III were going to be filmed back-to-back, like The Lord of the Rings. On the other hand, I have no idea where I got this idea from. Maybe it was just the delusions of a diseased mind. Alex ---
