And the title of Episode III is...

[Mercule]

Personally, I think "Rise of the Sith" sounds best, but whatever.

All of which I've loved in the theaters, but which haven't held up to multiple repeat viewings, is my opinion.

See, my finding is just the opposite. After I saw TPM a second time, I realized that it was, in part, the fact that I'd seen all the original movies 100+ times that made them "feel" like Star Wars. I still didn't much care for TPM, but I liked it better the second time around. And it felt like a crappy SW movie instead of a crappy, unrelated flick.

Revenge of the Sith

"Rise of the Empire"

How about a combo of both Rise of the Sith.


also Fall of the Jedi. It implies Anakins fall to the Darkside, as well as the fall/defeat of the Jedi.

I like Revenge of the Sith since it gives a nice nod to the whole Revenge of the Jedi rumblings before Episode VI came out.

I don't like The Creeping Fear because this film will presumably be about Vader (or at least Anakin becoming Vader), and Vader doesn't creep. "Creeping" isn't a good word to associate with a villian like Vader.

That's sorta me as well. Although I'm thinking this may be the best of the new movies.

Is that anything like being the tallest Dwarf in the room?

All of which I've loved in the theaters, but which haven't held up to multiple repeat viewings, is my opinion. They have good stories, but are badly acted, paced and scripted, unfortunately. But they do get me riled up to run that Star Wars roleplaying campaign one day...

I still contend that Ep 1 had the best lightsaber fights and Ep 2 had the best ... the best ... the best ... former LA Law actor on any sci-fi show since Corbin Bernsen's role as "Q" in "Deja Q". Sorry, but the god-awful soul-destroying romantic dialgoue in Ep 2 was worthy of a stalker flick. When your #1 best special effect in a Star Wars movie is Natalie Portman's tummy, you know you're in deep.

Well, OK. The Boba v. Obi-Wan fight wasn't half bad. And the plot was pretty good. But *I* could have written a better script given a three day weekend and a case of Jolt cola.

But of course I'll be seeing Ep 3 in the theater. Where Star Wars is concerned, I lack free will.

I suspect the provenance of this rumour. Unless -- WAIT!

Anakin will, over the course of the film, transform into a slimy, snakelike creature with glowing red tattoos and a TRIPLE-bladed lightsaber (because he's just got to be BADDER than ol' Darth Maul). Of course this means Lucas will have to digitally recreate every seen from the older films in which Vader appears, to replace David Prowse's boring old "Guy-In-Black" figure with the new, uber-bad Slime Sith Vader.

It's obvious.

Ep 1 had what possibly stands as the greatest swordfight every filmed by anybody who wasn't Chinese (maybe even by anybody who wasn't Jackie Chan). It's actually worth watching Jar Jar to see that fight. I remember when Maul set off the SECOND blade of his lightsaber and everyone in the theatre went, "Yeah...."

THAT was a Star Wars moment. Ep 2 had no such moments. But it DID have Natalie Portman's tummy. And Natalie Portman in a leather bustier. You don't get to see that every day.

Ep 3 has potential for good Star Wars moments. We will have to see. In the theatre, of course, because like the rest of you... I am a Star Wars beeyotch. And for the most part, pretty happy to be so.

Yep, no argument there.

and Ep 2 had the best ... the best ... the best ... former LA Law actor on any sci-fi show since Corbin Bernsen's role as "Q" in "Deja Q".

I liked the end set-piece, starting with whatever chapter it is on the DVD where the three main guys are chained up and they start leading the gladiator monsters out of their gates. From that point pretty much to the end of the movie, it's pretty good. I also like the Obi-wan/Jango duel on the landing platform and again in the rings of Geonosis by starship. The scenes where Obi-wan is running around Coruscant investigating the Camino dart head are interesting as well.

All in all, I liked Attack of the Clones better than The Phantom Menace, despite it's weaknesses.

Well, OK. The Boba v. Obi-Wan fight wasn't half bad. And the plot was pretty good. But *I* could have written a better script given a three day weekend and a case of Jolt cola.

I've got yer number there, BG. So do I. In fact, I'll likely see it twice on opening day, if my past history is any guide.

But man, it's really the screenplays and the direction that are dragging these movies down. Otherwise, they're not half bad. Oh, and some of the casting decisions are iffy. We'd heard early on that Ryan Phillipe was being considered for the role of Anakin. If he'd been in it for all three consecutive movies, that would have helped a lot in making them more watchable. He's probably got more natural chemistry with Natalie (at least he's the right age) and he's got a much more manly vibe; he's got a deep voice, an intense look, etc. And he doesn't look like a punk kid, he looks like he could be a future dark lord of the Sith...

I was hoping that Georgie was gonna name it "Star Wars: Evolution" j/p

I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist.

 

[barsoomcore]

Hee.

How about "The Bride of Anakin"?

"Son of the Sith"?

"Attack of the Clones"? No, wait...

Theforce.net did a little research and found that Peter Cushing (Moff Tarkin) and Christopher Lee (Dooku) were in a movie together called - The Creeping Flesh
Coincidence? I don't think so.

I thought the Jedi charge was a Star Wars moment. It gave me chills. Maybe that was just me.

Ep 3 has potential for good Star Wars moments. We will have to see. In the theatre, of course, because like the rest of you... I am a Star Wars beeyotch. And for the most part, pretty happy to be so.

If the reports are to be believed,

Spoiler

the Anakin/Obi-wan duel will outdo anything previously put to film for duels

. The whole prequel trilogy has been leading to that fight. I can't wait.
