    I was hoping for The Creeping Fear.

    Nonetheless, I was so excited that I bought the tee-shirt.

    Loving the title. :cool:

    Revenge of the Sith

    Ahh... :D

    Well not much I can that hasn't been said...fits well paralleling Episode VI. Definately increases my hopes of this being as dark as George is saying it will.

    Three of the movies have three-letter initials:
    TPM
    ANH
    ESB
    Three of the movies have four-letter intials and have "of the":
    AotC
    RotS
    RotJ

    Perhaps a double meaning for the balance of the Force? :D

    At least George has a sense of symmetry.

    Pablo said a while back that there is no "formula" for naming the films. I'm sure it's all just coincidence that people pick up on. ;)

    However, we don't know how long it has been his plan to use this title. He may have thought of it long ago, and then other fans happened to think of it too. At the time, it may have been completely original

    Yeah, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Revenge of the Sith was in George's mind for one of the prequels ever since he changed ROTJ's title.

    Wow, I never expected this to be the title, since it almost sounded too... easy. ;) But it's good! It's really good... :)

    Go George! :D

    It's no more boring than the others. It seems boring because we've known it for so many years already, it's been lingering in our collective unconcious this whole time. We're as familiar with RotS as we are with TESB. It's not that the title itself isn't boring, it's just that it's not fresh.

    That seems about right. Feels old because we're so familiar with it.

    In the words of Rick McCallum: "This is ******* awesome"

    I'll like it one day. But it's too similar to ROTJ. Almost wish for The Creeping Fear.

    All I can say is, the intention is for it to be very similar to ROTJ. I cannot seriously believe that any doubts about the film should be amplified by the choice of title.

    "Feels old because we're so familiar with it."

    For me, this is why it's pretty nigh on perfect. It feels like there's a real authentic connection to the original trilogy and not just the product of marketing strategists etc. It manages to sustain the illusion that the whole saga had been thought out 30 years ago and not just patched together as GL went along.

    Yea I went ahead and took it out of my signature since the title is confirmed now. I still like the one we came up with, however I really like this one as well.

    I know it is one that I supported in the past and I like how it goes along with ROTJ.

    No complaints from me.

    Now what about the teaser poster? My computers desktop background is in need of a change and I can not think of anything better for it

    I guess only half of the report that Tom and I received ended up being correct. :(

    Good. I don't think any of us would have been able to handle it if you had been right about both the name AND the teaser poster. ;)

    Too bad, though. I would have really liked to see the poster. We did get an official look at the packaging schemes, though. :D

    I was surprised to learn that George used ROTS. I was completely convinced of the argument that there couldn't be two titles with "of the" in it consecutively.

    I like the title. It occurred to me shortly after watching AOTC, also.

    I don't think I even realized that was why I loved the title so much, but now that I think about it, you're absolutely right. There's something about this title that fits perfectly with the OT. A lot of previous prequel-related announcements had me cringing because while I thought it was interesting that George was exploring new avenues, I sort of didn't want the saga to change so much from the OT to the PT.

    Unity has been restored to the saga with this title. The circle is truly complete. ;)
