Name my new film!

Greetings all.
Currently scripting a remake/re-imagining (thanks, Tim Burton!) of A NEW HOPE, but rather than being set in a galaxy far, far away, the setting is the Old West, circa 1887.
The story remains essentially the same. The Empire Railroad Company have been ransacking the towns of the new frontier in their single minded quest to control the West. Led by General McVade, the Empire have captured the leader of a small band of rebels, the beautiful Leia Prince who has stolen plans for the Empire's new weapon, an armoured locomotive with enough power to destroy an entire town.
You can see where this is going.
But I need a title! I've racked my brains and nothing seems to fit. The obvious ones (WEST WARS, anyone?) just sound silly and the more inventive ones don't sound Star Wars-y enough.
Suggestions, anyone? And thanks in advance.

Okay, seriously, I'm really not sure.

I dunno...
Look at all of the old western titles and see if you can come up with a spoofy title for your own. It might help...

Yeah, but it's not a spoof. It's supposed to be a serious film.

I already had the idea of remaking Star Wars as a Western, and I was going to give you suggestions and ideas, but I don't want to give away any of them.
I'll save for my own movie.
Instead, I will just say "Good luck" with your movie.
