Simple question here, What does everyone think the last star wars film will be called? I know its only 2.5 years away till we know, but its one think im always curious about.

something gradiose -
The Fall of the Republic
or
The Rise of the Empire

STAR WARS: RISE OF THE EMPIRE
I love the sound of that.
But hey, there's really no way to guess what the title is going to be. I mean, there were so many guesses for the Ep2 title and no one ever guessed it would be AOTC.
JediBendu
06-05-2002, 10:07 PM
true
but at least we can narrow it down - it'll either be about the fall of the republic or the fall of anakin. The two major themes of the trilogy.
Then again, the first 2 have nothing to do with it.
Jedi Master Gandalf
06-05-2002, 10:14 PM
I like when SW titles have different meanings to them.
Return of the Jedi--the return of the Jedi way? the return of Anakin? or simply the return of Luke for another adventure?
A New Hope-- A new hope for the Jedi way? a new hope for
the rebellion?
Well GL has already used an "of the" title, I doubt he'll use another right in a row, and use three total.
Attack OF THE Clones
Return OF THE Jedi
THE Empire Strikes Back
The Phantom Menace
A New Hope
So I'd like to see a title that begins with "A" to keep it in line, course if he does use "A" that means they'll be two "A" titles in a row. Maybe he could go with something different all together, no "A", "The" or "of the."
Here's my suggestions:
A Republic Divided
A Dark Descent
A Prophecy Revealed (Anakins Fall, Luke's birth)
Of course he may be going by beats:
Return of the Jedi - 4
Attack of the Clones - 4
A New Hope - 3
The Phantom Menace - 3
The Empire Strikes Back - 4
A Fall From Grace - 4 (Course that doesn't sound very pulpy).
Jedi Master Gandalf
06-05-2002, 10:23 PM
It would be cool to have a title to begin with "A".
:confused:
JediBendu
06-05-2002, 10:25 PM
This would be sappy but what about
Return/Revenge of the Sith
Jedi Master Gandalf
06-05-2002, 10:27 PM
:bored:
If that one were to be used I think GL would lean towards "Revenge". With Return of the Jedi, it incinuates a feeling of peace. While "Revenge" is more turbulent and better for a harsher people; like the Sith.

The Rise of the Empire is good, but how about The Reign of Darkness?
JediBendu
06-05-2002, 10:35 PM
or
The Coming Darkness
Jedi Master Gandalf
06-05-2002, 10:37 PM
I think GL likes to stick to old serial-sounding names. Simple names like Return of the Jedi or Attack of the Clones. "Rise of the Empire" would be the coolest title; too bad its out of the question. :sad:

Like I said, sometimes SW titles have more than one meaning. That's why "Fall of the Jedi" works. It has two meanings--
Anakin's fall to the Dark Side, and the death of all the Jedi Knights.

The Fall of the Jedi. This would parallel Return of the Jedi. In episode 3 Anakin falls to the darkside and in episode 6 he comes back to the lightside. Assuming ROTJ does not refer to Luke. The Revenge of the Sith would be cool to. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/devil.gif

06-05-2002, 11:58 PM
The more I think about it, I think GL will go for something pretty vauge for the EPIII title with no mention of specific groups in the saga.
EPI The Phantom Menace (vauge)
EPII Attack of the **Clones**
EPIII ????? (vauge?)
EPIV A New Hope (vauge)
EPV The **Empire** Strikes Back
EPVI Return of the **Jedi**
This would give the series a 3/3 balance for the series.
Note the first letter of each title: T-A-?-A-T-R. Would EPIII have to begin with "R"?
Rogue_Jedi
06-06-2002, 02:28 AM
Either, "THE RISE OF THE EMPIRE". or "THE FALL OF THE REPUBLIC".
"REVENGE OF THE SITH" sounds good also, since it would make an interesting connection with the "RETURN OF THE JEDI" title.

NelsonCoressel

I thought I had also suggested REVENGE OF THE SITH on another thread, but can't seem remember where...
ROTS would make sense because it's exactly the kind of title Lucas would come up with, and it would indeed make for a stronger lead up to ROTJ.

06-06-2002, 09:17 AM
What about a name involving the Republic in some way, like:
Fall of the Republic
or something similar
or one that can work on different levels:
End of an Era
But that one is almost too vague for a SW film.
Jedi Luke
06-06-2002, 09:25 AM
I always liked Dark Force Rising.
Too bad it's already been used, I think it would be very fitting and appropriate given the events that must take place in EPIII.

Possibles are :
Shadow of Darkness
Era of Darkness
Desent into Darkness
Republic in Turmoil
Age of Reckoning
I don't know. But I don't think it will be Fall of the Republic. It's too obvious, and it's what everybody thinks it will be, so you can be certain that Lucas won't use it!!! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif Also it's got "of the" in it and there have already been 2 movies using that in the title. He won't use it again I'm sure.

2. Dark Metamorhphsis

How about 'The Rise of the Empire'?
I don't know... I can't really think of anything else. It was rumored the Episode II would be titled 'The Rise of the Empire', but obviously it wasn't. It's also apparent in AOTC that the Empire is rising.
Obi-Wan
06-18-2002, 12:42 AM
I think Episode III will be called Fall Of The Jedi, because it goes great with Return Of The Jedi.
Qui-gon Maul
06-18-2002, 02:01 PM
Ok, heres the deal. Everybody seems to think 'Rise of the Empire' or 'Revenge of the Sith ' would be a suitable title for episode 3. I don't think GL will call it either of these titles ...he'll outsmart is all once again just like he did with a title like 'Attack of the Clones' (which NOBODY thought of, and is a good title that's simple and easy to understand, hence the children he's trying to target).
I think some of the titles already posted on here are okay and some are ridiculous. Like, what the hell is 'End of an Era'? ...thats retarded. It sounds like some kind of title for a civil war journal on A&E or a cheesy romance novel! You have to imagine it from Lucas' point of veiw instead of just dreaming that it will be called some 'kick-ass' name. 'Rise of the Empire' I believe was the working (and rumored) title for Ep2 at one point, so Ep3 probably won't be called that. ok ok ...heres my suggestion:
Star Wars Episode 3: The Quest of Fate
I'll tell you why i think it should be called this. It's simple, easy to understand for children (thats what Lucas wants). It's not another 'OF THE' title. It begins with THE (like TESB). It has a 2 key words like all the other titles ...The QUEST of FATE ....just like ATTACK of the CLONES or RETURN of the JEDI etc. QUEST is more of a positive word, while FATE is more of a negative word that reflects the negativity within the story of Ep3. And, I think it will be relevent to the story of Ep3. After the clone wars end Palpatine sends Anakin (who is now a hero for ending the clone wars) to the infamous lava planet to recover something of great power (possibly that Kyber crystal thing). There, he meets his FATE with Obi-wan, when he falls into the lava. Hence, this would be Anakin's 'Quest of Fate'
Plus, it has a ring to it, it's catchy, i can picture it being said on a radio or picture it on a poster.

The thing about the Episode II title was that I thought the Clone Wars took place long before Episode I. Apparently, that's not how GL wanted things to happen. I also thought maybe 'The Clone Wars' would have been a better title for Ep. II, but 'Attack of the Clones' is sufficient. All of the rumored titles and ones presented here all seem to make sense for Episode III, but that doesn't necessarily mean any of them will be used.
Ella Vader
06-25-2002, 12:58 AM
I like Fall of the Jedi, or Fall of the Republic. I didn't think Attack of the Clones was a very good title, though I think it would be interesting to see more speculation on what them Clones will be up to in Ep.III.
Would it help if I got out and pushed?

All of the titles have something in common. All have between 3 and 4 words, and noun or verb has ever been used twice. (exluding jedi, hope, empire, etc.) In episode 4 and 1 the titles were both vague (and have three words). In episodes 5, 6, and 2 the titles both evoke action (and have four words).

Fall of the Jedi is good, but I'm really hoping for Jar-Jars big adventure. And...shouldn't EpII been called The Clone Wars, I know it seems he matches up the titles, but Attack of the Clones is the worst Star Wars title yet.

I personally like
Star Wars Episode III. The Quest of Fate

The first one is very good as suggested by others on the board. And I personally like the ring of the second one as it seems to encompass the prequels and relate them to the OT.

Yeah, it is a novel written by Steve Perry detailing the events that occured between ESB and ROTJ. It has a video game adaption, a comic book adaption, and even a sound track (which isn't that bad). I know this is EU, but I doubt Mr. Lucas will name EPIII "The Shadow of an Empire;" It just sounds too much like "Shadows of the Empire."
And, Darth_Combover, "Dark Force Rising" is the Title of a Timothy Zahn Book that is a part of the "Thrawn Trilogy." You guys are coming up with some good names, but unfortunately, they've already been taken.
bcamareno
07-03-2002, 12:39 AM
My suggestion would be "The Trial of Anakin Skywalker." Sounds a little pulpy, doesn't it? In Ep.I and II there have been references to "the courts" and to the appellate process. The title serves a double meaning. Anakin's Trial from Padawan to Jedi and perhaps a criminal trial against him.
I can envision Anakin being tried in a grand hall, surrounded by every representative of the Republic and a tribunal made up of Jedi. He could be tried for violating the Jedi Code by marrying and for, perhaps, crimes against humanity by destroying the Jedi. His death sentence being commuted by Palpatine.
The promo could read, "His greatest crime was Love." Just an idea.

A Plan Darkens
Quest for Peace
Not that I would pick any of these but it will something strange and weird like that George would pick
Trilogist
07-06-2002, 06:33 PM
Darthlestat, I was going to suggest "Fall of the Jedi" similar to yours, I see. It has a double meaning, much like "Return of the Jedi" between Anakin and the Jedi order in general.
I hope Lucas doesn't go with a weird title simply because of the possiblity one of you might guess what it is. George, if you read this, no one is going to care if the title you chose happens to be guessed in this message board.
Star Wars
Episode III
Fall of the Jedi
Javen
07-06-2002, 06:46 PM
Theres only one problem with Fall of the Jedi not that it does't sound cool but Anakin isnt a Jedi yet,he might be by EP3.Unless you mean all the Jedi Fall in that case forget what I said.
Just like OB1 never becomes a Jedi Master hes just a Jedi.
Trilogist
07-06-2002, 08:35 PM
Well he will be a Jedi before he turns evil; Obi wan told Luke his father was a Jedi Knight, and even Yoda said about Anakin: "Your father, powerful Jedi was he. Yes, very powerful."
And Luke later announced to the Emperor: "I am a Jedi, like my father before me."
Now it would be very sad if this was all misinformation and lies from Yoda and Obi wan. I tend not to believe that.
Trilogist
07-06-2002, 08:38 PM
As far as Obi-wan not being a Master ... that brings up a good question: how does one become a Master?
Does one become a Jedi Master when they have a padawan that reaches Knight status after passing the trials? That's what I always thought. The padawan, after all, refers to his Jedi mentor as "Master."
I don't know. I don't have the encylopedias or anything.

Star Wars Episode III: Hope Lost
I've liked that title for quite sometime, I posted it at T'bone when he was at cinescape, and I thought it conveyed the sense that the Empire has been borne and the democracy and stability and peace of the Galaxy has been swept away.
or maybe
Star Wars Episode III: Birth of Tyranny

07-07-2002, 12:17 PM
Quest for Peace is the title of Superman IV, so I dont think that will be used.

I take the title 'Fall of the Jedi' not to mean the fall of Anakin but the fall of the Jedi as a whole before the power and treachery of the Sith...Anyhow, we're all wrong no doubt. GL will come up with smething no-one will think of, as usual. I never was one of those who thought AOTC was that bad a title, but TPM was pretty woeful. Law of averages suggests this title will be decidedly average at best! Something like;
Star Wars Episode III: The Dark Times
(Obi-Wan did in fact call the rise of the Empire just this in ANH, right?)

Jedi Tomo
07-07-2002, 03:05 PM
I agree with Trilogist and DarthLestat, Fall of the Jedi would be perfect. If Anakin is a Jedi when epIII starts, it will have double meaning, the fall of a Jedi(Anakin) and the fall of the Jedi Order. It would also relate very well to Return of the Jedi, which has two meanings as well, the return of a Jedi(Anakin) to the Light Side of the Force and the return of the Jedi Order with Luke now ready to rebuild the Jedi Order.

it was going to be revenge of the jedi ( because they kill the emperor and vader so on ...) but they thought revenge isnt a jedi trade so they did return
1)anakin/vader turns to good so there is no presssure on the republic
2) the main people in the line of darkness have been killed (vader emperor) so the jedi can return.
fall of the jedi would be good because it would fit with all above
but rise of the empire sounds good, but clashes with empire strikes back because they have not been down if you get me
both would work out
what about: star wars episode 3- fall of the republic-rise of the empire
sounds coool

How about something simple like "Revenge of the Sith"? Of course, none of us will guess the title. GL will come up with something so far from left field, but we'll all probably end up liking it, though.
Revenge of the Sith isn't gonna be the title. Lucas' original title for Return of the Jedi was REVENGE of the Jedi. Return was better becasue it had more than one meaning. think of a title that has more than one meaing.
the phantom menace:in reference to Sidious mostly because he's in a cloak and a hologram, but also Maul because he's the main threat. Anakin's future seen through the eyes oof the council in a menace also.
Attack of the Clones: the most obvious reason. The looming thret to come, when the JEdi are powerless to the clones.we'll learn about it in Episode III more.
A New Hope: Luke skywalker becomes a hero. the Rebel Alliance wins a major victory over the empire.
the Empire strikes back: Opening sequence on Hoth. the chase of the Millenium Falcon. Vader's plot to catch Luke.
Return of the JEdi: Luke's return to Yoda. Luke faces Vader again. Luke reveals he is finally a JEdi to the Emperor. Anakin returns and kills the Emperor to become a JEdi at last.
My title for Episode 3: Fall of the Order-until I think of a better one.

I think Revenge of the Sith has a much better shot because due to their very nature the sith are much more likely to be personified by revenge. The jedi aren't the type or their creed won't allow such action but that seems one of the mainstays of the sith. I do agree it's not a double meaning of a title and that's probably what GL will go with but it's got an outside chance.

"Revenge of the Sith" makes sense. It's completely opposite of ROTJ. Jedi rebound, Sith seek revenge. It is also appropriate for an episode that will and must end in a bad way for the good guys. And finally, it is exactly what Darth Maul said to Sidious in EP I:
"Finally, we'll reveal ourselves. Finally, we'll have our revenge."
The quote may not be exact but it's close.

I like the speculagtion regarding the "A" factor in the plot...but I also tend to agree that Lucas seems to NEED to center the title around something more like "The Fall of the Republic" or (though I think he may not do this simply for reason of overkill ...Fall of the Jedi?....exactly...but then the A in the title could allow Lucas to come up with one that encpmasses everything this movie should be about; mainly the fall of Anakin to the dark side, the hunting down of the Jedi and the (what I prefer to think is going to be a ) TRANSFORMATION from Galactic Republic to Galactic Empire. But let us also remember , it needs to "follow" the titles The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, (which I would like to also point out DOES start with an "A" ...I dont think Lucas will rely on that, I think he is a good writer and good writers choose titles that reflect the mood and plot of the movie, first and foremost...more soon...'I thought you Jedi understood the difference between knowledge and......WISDOM!" style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Think about it this way:
The Phantom Menace = The Sith reappears
Attack of the Clones = The good guys attack
A New Hope = The good returns
The Empire Strikes Back = The bad guys attack
Return of the Jedi = The Jedi reappears
Episode III should have a title with the content of "The good falls"

Fall of the Jedi, or Rise of the Empire, I like Rise of the Empire a lot.I think this title will be simple and to the point.

I'd just like to point out a few things for when your thinking about the title:
1.Before the title for Episode II came out, a lot of people thought it would be "The Clone Wars" but GL called it "Attack of the Clones" which sounds similar.Now most people think Episode III shoud be "Rise of the Empire" but we know that's not what it will be so maybe it will be something similar but what nobody will guess right away.
2.Everybody's thinking to hard about it. Your saying stuff about how many words there in each one or what words are in each one, do you really think GL thinks that hard about it. :eh:
3.My brother came up with this.Episode 4 is called "A New Hope" which means in Episode 3 ther can really be no hope at all, for the Republic, for the Jedi, for anybody so the title has to go with that somehow. "The Death of Hope" sounds kind of cool but maybe a little too cheesy alongside "A New Hope". I like "The Quest of Fate" but I think my favorite so far has been "The Age of Reckoning". style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/saber.gif

I love the sound of that.
But hey, there's really no way to guess what the title is going to be. I mean, there were so many guesses for the Ep2 title and no one ever guessed it would be AOTC.
I agree very very much, that is what the movie is about so i belive that is what it should be called or somthing close to that!!

I like that one too.
If you list out the titles in order it kind of gives you a synopsis of the whole story. (kind of).
I think that we can infer that the missing title has to be about the collapse of the good guys or the rise of the bad guys.

Doesn't sound like GL!? Considering he lifted his entire dogfights from the OT form cheesy WWII movies, including the trench bombing run on the Death Star, how can you say that? I think "The Enemy Within" is quite a good title, as it may refer to Palpatine, Anakin, any other as yet unknown traitor, as well as the enemy within us all - the Dark Side. And No, I don't think it is too similar to the Phantom Menace, which was referring to an (IMHO) unrevealed menace which will blow everyone away when it is finally shown in Ep. III. Anyhoo, I know it's not gonna be "Fall of the Jedi", talk about bad movie titles, it's almost as bad as "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". Oh Dear...

it has to be hail to the empire it soo sooo star wars like.
episode 1:the phantom menace
episode 2:attack of the clones
episode 3:hail to the empire
episode 4: a new hope
episode 5:the empire strikes back
episode 6:return of the jedi
now doesn't that sound like a proper line?
the reason i'm not going with fall of the jedi is because it's too obvious and a little cheasy i wouldn't like that but it is a logical guess.style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif
