NEEDED: Cool Star Wars Title

Thanks - and final choice

Thanks for all your replies. They helped stir the brain, and this is what came out:

STAR WARS - TWILIGHT OF THE EMPIRE

Five years have passed since the BATTLE OF ENDOR. And while the EMPEROR, and his dark apprentice, DARTH VADER, were killed, and the second DEATH STAR was destroyed, the galactic civil war is far from over.

A REGENT sits on the throne on CORUSCANT, where the remnants of the IMPERIAL FLEET gathered soon after the battle and regrouped. The uprisings on the capital planet may have toppled the statue of the Emperor, but such resistance was quickly and efficiently put down by imperial troops. CORUSCANT remains fully under control of the EMPIRE.

The wounded EMPIRE has begun to consolidate its holdings in the CORE region of space, while the fledgling NEW REPUBLIC, under the rule of Chancellor MON MOTHMA, seeks more and more worlds to join its cause of freedom. Both are in an arms race to deploy deadly new starships. Each sees the other as a threat that must be eliminated. Meanwhile, Admiral HAN SOLO commands the NEW REPUBLIC FLEET from his flagship NOVA JUSTICE.

On the jungle moon of YAVIN IV, LUKE SKYWALKER has established a new JEDI ACADEMY. He believes that only with the power of fully trained JEDI KNIGHTS can the EMPIRE be driven from its places of power, and can freedom and justice be restored to the galaxy. His brightest pupil, sister LEIA ORGANA SOLO, has taken her place in the academy as a JEDI MASTER. The establishment of the new academy has brought several Jedi out of hiding. Together these JEDI MASTERS train a new generation of JEDI KNIGHTS to be the guardians of peace and justice for the NEW REPUBLIC.

But where there is light, there is always darkness...

Ok, that's it. I've changed my mind:

STAR WARS - GUNGAN GENOCIDE!

After pouring over historical records on Coruscant, surviving members of THE EMPIRE and THE NEW REPUBLIC realize that the cause of Palpatine's rise to power was the senatorial vote of one GUNGAN named... JAR-JAR BINKS. It is decided that the galaxy would be a better place without this accursed race.

DEATH TO THE GUNGANS!

Hmmm... If I'm ever going to run Star Wars, I'll us a similar storyline and timeframe.

"Balance of the Force" would make a good title as well, I think.

Ok, I'm starting a new Star Wars campaign, takes place after Endor, but ignores all the extended universe stuff. The Empire has been greatly reduced, but not defeated. The Emperor made arrangements for his demise, and a Regent sits on the throne, and his dark jedi in training are starting to move.

I like the idea. Is the new regent a force user? a sith? must be if he/she has a dark jedi in training. Night Sisters would be a neat idea too for heirs to the Empire.
 

To be honest, I haven't designed the Regent yet. But, the Emperor, while vain and overconfident, was not stupid. He forsaw the possibility of his own death, and made arrangements for the Empire to continue in his absence.

I've always seen the end of Return of the Jedi to be a bit over- optomistic. Yes, you lost the Emperor, Vader, the second Death Star, and a few ships from a portion of the fleet (you can't tell me the whole fleet was around Endor). There is no way that every imperial officer, every stormtrooper, just took off their uniforms and danced a jig. No, there is still a lot of work to do to bring back the Republic.

I think it is also a very real possibility that Vader and the Emperor did not continue the "Rule of Two" and began training their own Dark Jedi in the ways of the Sith. Yes, it's going to be quite messy out there for a while. We certainly have enough happening without an "invading force" of droid-hating, force-resistant aliens coming in. God, I hate that crap.
