[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 1445091, member: 4779"] "Fall of the Republic" could work but the same problem with "Rise of the Empire" is there. Both of those actually happen off-camera in "A New Hope." I should have mentioned before that the names we came up with were things that we thought they would be called not necessarily the titles we liked. :) I don't believe the title is referring solely to Anakin nor should it. The title should encompass the theme of the film and reference many characters. If this truly is the title (which I doubt, but this is fun) then I would think it refers to the emotions that the main characters will go through leading to things like betrayal, bad decisions and rash actions. Each of the prequel titles so far have been misleading as to the actual events of the film but still representing an overall theme. The Creeping Fear follows that to a point. The OT titles don't do it as much but I suspect the titles for the prequels were harder to come up with as we already know the outcome of events. The Phantom Menace - Is it referring to the Emporer? Anakin? Qui-Gon? Trade Federation? Attack of the Clones - This is the most obvious but we have no idea based on the title who the clones are attacking, who they are working for, why they are there, who created them and for what purpose. Nothing in previous films gives us any indication. A New Hope (doesn't really count as it was added after release) - Sure, the Rebellion has a new hope in Luke. But it also refers to Han's new life and his new friends. Luke's hope is renewed as well as he finally gets on with his life. This one is a bit harder because it is the first. The Empire Strikes Back - Yeah, again kinda obvious but it means more than just the Empire actually striking back. We've got the rebels on the run. Luke is battered by Vader (the Empire). Han is betrayed and captured. Basically, anyone who had a good moment in the previous film is struck back by the Empire or someone associated with them. Return of the Jedi - Referring to Luke. But also to Anakin and to a lesser extend, Leia. This is the weakest of the titles but not a weak title (if you get mah drift). [/QUOTE]
