Get rid of the “Star Wars” and “Episode III” prefixes. The first two movies are now forever doomed to being called “Episode I” and “Episode II” (do the other three movies have that curse? No-o-o-o!).

So, ergo, I propose the following title…

::ahem::

**I Know What You Did Last Prequel**

Oops, sorry… just kidding…

Either **Fall Of The Old Republic** or **Rise Of The Dark Side**. No “Star Wars”, no “Episode III”, none of that bullshit. Just a kickass title for a (hopefully) kickass movie.

Wasn’t one of the books called **Dark Force Rising**? I think that’s not a bad name.

or maybe **Jar Jar Got Fingered**

\*\*Episode III: All the Empire’s a Stooge

Episode III: Episodes IV, V & VI available on DVD this June

Episode III: Obi-Wan vs. Godzilla

Episode II.V: Amadala, From Underage Porn Princess to Nabooian Queen

Episode III: Girl, You Got It Goin’ On\*\*  
_(six minutes into the movie, the actual Luke Skywalker, a 16-year-old jock from rural Illinois, is jolted awake in the middle of third period World History. He realizes that everything was just crazy a dream, no doubt induced by his binge drinking at Skender’s sweet-ass kegger last night. No Jedis, no Yoda, no Wookie, no pod races.  
The movie then shifts to Luke’s coming-of-age story which finds him debating whether to ask Julie, the really cute head cheerleader to prom, or the girl he’s unexplainably drawn to: Amy, the frumpy girl that all of his friends throw things at.  
At about the middle of the movie, after a soundtrack-enhanced scene in which Amy is made over by her older sister Patti, Luke sees Amy in the cafeteria and his mind is made up: Amy’s totaly hot! In the end, Luke takes Amy to prom, he learns never to judge a book by it’s cover, and also never to let peer pressure get in the way of his true feelings.  
Action figures would include Luke, Patti, Amy, Julie, Luke’s twin sister Leia, Amy’s gay best friend David, and Luke’s father Darth Vader.  
Luke: Freddie Prinze Jr.  
Julie: Britney Spears  
Amy: Katie Holmes  
Patti: Mena Suvari  
David: Eddie Kaye Thomas  
Leia: Freddie Prinze Jr. (dual roles)  
Darth Vader: James Earl Jones  
An all-star soundtrack would include new songs from Blink 182, Barenaked Ladies, Jewel, and DMX._
