ST Episode IX Title Discussion: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

Episode IX: Well, Let's Play Balf

To tie in with the return to TPM theme above. Early Episode I Jedi Council members may recall the associated amusing threads of the time!

Seriously I do like the idea of Phantom in the title to come full circle for the final episode.

 

While I would not be surprised if this happen, it would be a MAJOR letdown and a bad sign.

People paid loads of money for Celebration, and giving them no chance to get something with the title would set a very bad mood with the fanbase.

If they do not have the title yet, they should be working 24x7 to create something the next week at most, otherwise there is no time to manufacture the merch.

It is not rocket science, they could read this thread and find at least a few good titles.

 

By the time we get a Title reveal.

 

Maybe as JJ and others are editing a teaser trailer right now, he'll decide a proper title after viewing the finished trailer.

CONFIRMED!!!!

 

Star Wars Episode IX: If There's A Whill, There's A Way

I had it pegged as Rise of the Resistance, but then they went and gave that name to a Galaxy's Edge attraction, so...

 

If they don’t have a title yet, they’re probably between two or three contenders. Although Johnson had “The Last Jedi” pegged as the title for VIII as early as his first draft, Abrams wasn’t as decisive with the title for VII. If I remember correctly, the internal front runner for the title was “Shadow of the Empire” for a while, before they finally settled on “The Force Awakens.” If I had to guess, we’ll probably find out the title at the Celebration panel, probably close to the beginning; I doubt it’ll be an end-of-teaser reveal.

 

They're waiting to see everyone's guesses on the internet first...and use something different.

Star Wars Episode IX: I Will Try All Titles I Can Think Of And Eventually Get It Semi-Right And Will Then Proceed To Brag About It

 

They will need enough time to produce some merchandise to sell at Celebration. I think they will announce the title prior to that production to avoid a leak.

 

Hmm, I thought for sure the name would be, “Legacy” and assumed they decided that a long time ago. Now I’m less convinced they’ll pick that. I figured they’d think calling it, “Legacy” was an easy no brainer. I guess I was wrong.

I hope the tomb is finally featured in IX, so The Tomb thread can be reopened and moved to the IX forum.

I’m going to post old news stories and classic reactions to the other films today to gear up for the Episode IX title announcement this week.

From 1998:
Episode I title reaction

https://www.deseretnews.com/article/654672/Phantom-Menace-Title-baffles-Star-Wars-fans.html

Hold on to your hyperdrive, kiddies: Next summer's new "Star Wars" movie has a title. But you might not like it.

How does "The Phantom Menace" grab you?"You're kidding," says Mark Farr-Nash, my favorite comic-book store clerk in all the land, setting down his water bottle at Austin Books Monday afternoon, adjusting his Incredible Hulk T-shirt and scrunching up his face. "Please note my ire. `The Phantom Menace'!? Puh-lease. Maybe if the movie starred Commander Cody or Buck Rogers or even Red Ryder, then it wouldn't be a bad title. `The Phantom Menace'? Lord, give me strength."

Strange as it seems - and as unhappy as it's making some die-hard fans - that appears to be the movie's title. It was revealed quietly on an official "Star Wars" Web site last Friday.

Fans have been waiting several months for creator George Lucas to announce the title to the first of three "prequel" films that will tell the story of life in the galaxy far, far away before Luke Skywalker was born. The $115 million "Episode 1" has wrapped filming in Tunisia, Italy and England. Computerized special effects are being finished at Lucas' headquarters in northern California; composer John Williams is set to begin soundtrack recording this fall with the London Symphony Orchestra.

Perhaps the most eagerly awaited movie (and pop-cultural) event in Generation X's lifetime, "The Phantom Menace" will be released May 21.

The mysterious title, now working its way to logo designs for everything from toy packaging to Pepsi cans, was also quickly registered as a Web site address by the filmmaker. A Lucasfilm spokeswoman confirmed Monday that "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" is the film's actual name - although Lucas has changed his mind in the past. Episode 6, originally titled "Revenge of the Jedi," was changed to "Return of the Jedi" months before its 1983 release.

"My first reaction was `Huh?' " said Scott Chitwood, a 25-year-old Houston civil engineer who in his spare time runs (TheForce.Net), a Web site where fans share leaked prequel information and try to sniff out fact from rumor. "The title came totally out of left field. I'm glad they surprised us with it, but at the same time it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. I didn't care for it at first, but I'm learning to live with it.

"I don't have much choice," Chitwood added.

"I love it," said a giggling Harry Knowles, 28, the Austin-based showbiz Internet gossip king, who claimed several weeks ago that he's read a copy of the film's script - and likes it. "Nobody in their right mind would ever name a movie `The Phantom Menace.' All the fans are going nuts because of it. It sort of shows that Lucas will do anything, and I'm all for it. Remember, it's a serial. He's having fun with it, (and) it's a rollicking adventure."

 

Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman react to the title of Episode II.

 

Hahaha. Again, awesome. Out of the PT, the only title that didn't get slammed was ROTS. I seem to remember that one being met with general universal praise.

 

From 2004:

Comic-Con reaction to Episode III title.

http://www.starwarsselect.com/comiccon2004/rots_title.html



It's difficult to describe exactly what I was feeling as I sat among 6,500 other fans at the Star WarsSpectacular presentation at Comic-Con International July 24, 2004, moments before the title for Episode III,Revenge of the Sith, was revealed. The closest example I can give you is take the feeling you have in the countdown before New Years and multiply it by a thousand. Then you'll have a general idea of how I was feeling.

The announcement caught me off guard. I would have never expected that the title would be released at Comic-Con, and especially not this early. Nevertheless, here I was, one of the first 6,500 people in the world to discover the title of the final Star Wars movie. I'm overjoyed and honored that I had the privilege to be present during the title's unveiling. I was actually there. It still hasn't sunk in yet.

Speaking of "not sunk in," I know I'm not alone in saying that four days later, the title Revenge of the Sith has a new car smell to me. It's so strange and unfamiliar, and doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the trilogy. I know that these sentiments will pass in time, but still.

For the record I do, in fact, think that Revenge of the Sith is a fitting name for the final installment of the prequel trilogy. After all, the fall of Anakin, as well as his (and Palpatine's) revenge on the Jedi and the Republic is what the prequel trilogy is all about, just as much as the classic trilogy's purpose is to relate the story of Luke's destiny, Anakin's return to the light side, and the return of the Jedi way of life.

So I guess the point I'm trying to get to is the Revenge of the Sith title is a winner in my book. Also, I'd have to say that, "I have a good feeling about this" movie. I'll wrap this baby up by saying here's to May 2005!

 

I always remember these quotes :

The Phantom "WHAT"
Who ? what the hell the does that mean
AOTC reminds me of "Attack of the Killer Clowns" & "Attack of the 50 foot Woman"
What was George Lucas thinking !
