How does the just-announced Episode 3 title stack up?

**JediTricks** · 07-26-2004

Late last week at the San Diego Comic-Con International, Lucasfilm announced the title of the final installment of the Star Wars prequel trilogy... Episode III's title shall be:

[font=Verdana]Revenge of the Sith

So, what do you think of the title, is it everything you hoped, totally awful, or somewhere in between? Did you see it coming or did it take you by surprise?

I voted it's O.K., nothing thrilling. Revenge Of The Sith or Rise Of The Empire were the only two logical & good titles to go with anyways.

I dont care what it is called as long as it is good.

**scruffziller** · 07-27-2004

It is the only title it could be.

I think it is ok, when I read it I didn't shudder uncontrollably or anything. It is a good title. I am ready for the next movie and bring on the figures!!

The title works as we know the outcome, but what of the path to the outcome. Yes, the Republic melts and at least two Sith survive, but what of the others. "Dwell is darkness they do."

I voted "It's great...". Only logical title, really. And....already I'm sick of the net chatter making fun of the ROTS anachronym. I do believe that even if you had a poll such as this to decide the title publicly, not EVERYONE will be happy, so it's nice to see a strong title that says it all.
BTW-just say the title. Revenge of the Sith. Sounds cool, or whack or sick or whatever term of endearment us hipsters are using now. The title makes me want to see the movie. Bad Guys. Revenge. Sith. What else needs to be said?
(It is a sick-whack-cool-jiggy title)

Well, after the last two I really find myself at a crossroads. The title sounds cool to me, logical choice, nothing spectacular. A title is nothing more then a title, even more so since the majority of the marketing will, in all likelihood, be done under the title Episode III, similar to it's last few predecessors. When it comes down to it the movie needs to give the fans what they need: True insight into the mythology of the classic Star Wars characters. We're finally going to see how Anakin became Vader and how Amidala secured the safety of her twins. Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones become more and more like cheap filler that managed to get all our butts in movie seats over and over. I want something with substance! If there is no substance then it just validates what we've been thinking all along: The prequels don't even come close to the original trilogy.

At this point in time I'd say the title is on par with The Phantom Menace. It sounds like it should fit just fine with the general theme of the movie, the birth of the Empire. So I voted for ok. It didn't send chills down my spine, but I didn't say "(censored) no. That's not the title is it?"
