Star Wars II: Return of the Name
Mutant was among the onslaught of readers who submitted that the final name has been chosen for Star Wars Episode II. It is... Attack of the Clones. Let the sarcasm commence. I'll pass judgement after I see it.

Well, It was probably something like this.
Microsoft Balmer dis'es linux! cool!, accept, next, "attack of the clones", wtf? reject, next...

The title really might be "Send in the Clones"?
Ratguy
Jar Jar and friends
Be nice to everyone, they out number you 6 billion to 1.
When I was a kid, I thought they were saying "The Cologne Wars". I really assumed there was some sort of fracas over fragrances. I am just glad it turned out to be "clones".

Or "Clones Gone Wild".
Star Wars: Episode 3: Your Childhood Memories are Raped For Two Solid Hours, then the Orchestral Score and Mood Lighting in the Last Thirty Seconds Tricks You into Thinking that this is a Worthy Prequel to Episode 4.
A little unwieldy, I grant you, but it's only a working title.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
What the hell kind of name is that?! This has to be a joke. CowboyNeal, say it isn't so! I can't handle this. I want an explanation.
He might as well have called it "A New Hope 2", starring Christopher Walken as Obi Wan, and featuring the cast of American Pie.
Someone needs to shoot George Lucas before he does anything else...But wait...Maybe he's already dead...MAYBE He REALLY died in the mid eighties, but he was CLONED!!!!Thats it! His clone is now wrecking havoc on the world, tricking them into watching hour upon hour of JarJars and annoying little Anakin Skywalkers!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!Meanwhile, George Lucas writhes in his grave, awaiting the day when he will rise again, to save the world from His evil Clone!!!!! Sounds like a good movie to me.
YUB YUB!
Star Wars : Clone Ranger
With Jar-Jar as Tonto???
I say we take off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure...
So would it be possible that these Wookies were independent contractors?

Peter Jackson! Ian McKellen! Christopher Lee! Hugo Weaving! Cate Blanchett! John Rhys-Davies! How could anyone not be waiting for this?
Assuming that Natalie Portman will be neither naked nor petrified, the only trump card that When Clones Attack has is Samuel L. Damn, they should have cast him in LotR, maybe as a badass orc or something. "Does Sauron look like a bitch?"
Episode II: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Force
(To the tune of "Send In The Clowns")
I'll pass judgement after I see it.
This will be a first.
And now, a moment for America to shake its head and sob softly to itself... What the hell is wrong with the "clone wars"? Are the traditional starships we have grown accustomed to now to be replaced with flying saucers? When will George Lucas learn not to make important decisions when drunk?

...Millions of sheep named dolly attack tatooine. All is feared lost, until annakin decides to release his keeler blue heeler to save the day.
Send lawyers, guns, and money!
bring in, the clones!
I was hoping for "Jar Jar's fiery death" or something similar. "Attack of the Clones" only makes me fear the creation of an entire army of Jar Jars.

Yaknow, if they just call it "Send in the Clones" they can fire John Williams and use pre-existing music...

The clone wars are fought by thousands upon thousands of copies of Jar Jar. *shiver*

I have a feeling this is some kind of cross-promotion with Fox's reality television.
Can what is formed say to that who formed it, "Why have you made me thus?"
Star Wars Episode II : When Clones Go Bad
OR...."Send In the CLOWNS"??? Sorry, couldn't resist *snicker*
There is simply too much glass..
And in further news, Episode III will be named, "I Wipe my Ass With Your Money", and will consist entirely of 15 minutes of Hayden Christensen putting on the Darth Vader outfit, saying "This is heavy," and "Okay, I'm ready to be Evil now."
"Star Wars" was MY childhood. My middle-school friends and I argued endlessly about "Empire." Vader, Luke's father? No way. Who was this Boba Fett anyway? Why was he masked the entire film. Somethin's gotta be goin' on there.
WE WAITED MORE THAN A DECADE FOR EPISODE 1! I grew up, I became an OLD MAN waiting for that bloody movie. When I heard it was coming, it was like the Return of Gandalf. The World would be OK. I dragged my wife to the theater, promising her it would be great, this would be epic, Strap In and Enjoy the Ride.
Ten minutes in, I wanted to shoot myself. Twenty minutes in, and my wife was openly wondering if this constituted the sort of spousal abuse that would get her more than 50% in the divorce.
To give you a contemporary example, I want you to go to your child and explain that in the next book, which we're all waiting for like it was Christmas, in the next book, Dumbledore turns out to be a child molester.
Watch the look on the face of your little Harry-or-Hermione-wannabe.
THAT's exactly how episode one made me feel.
He put his boots up on the table and made a face. "The sig," he smirked. "You can waste your life in search of the sig."
That sounds like something that Joel and the Bots would watch.
Anakin: Quick, send in the clones
Obi-Wan: Don't bother, they're here
Lucas: Isn't it rich, isn't it queer, Losing my timing so late in my career
SW Fans: There ought to be clones

Anakin looks up to see Queen Amidala and Obi-Wan dressed like clones, holding miniature billboards advertising the clone college and dancing to clone music. "Amidala...?" asks Anakin slowly. "Yes, Anakin?" answers the clone Amidala, starting to hum clone music.
Anakin: That's it! You people have stood in my way long enough. I'm going to clone college! [leaves]
Obi-Wan: I don't think any of us expected him to say that.

what do you think IS under those stormtrooper helmets?
Storm troopers speak English too well to be clones of Jar Jar. You'd think that even if they weren't raised in their own culture, they'd still retain the lisp.
There's another thing I can hate about the movie. I hate Jar Jar and I hate Lisp.
Collect them all!
The next Slashdot story will be ready soon, but subscribers can beat the rush and slashdot the links early!
Damn straight! And just because it happens in "a galaxy far far away" doesn't mean the cloners can't be busted for it. Look at Sklyarov! He wrote his code in Russia. Came (without the code) to the US, and merely spoke about it.
Hey man, watch it. Clones are people, two!

How about "The Death Of Jar Jar?" Or maybe "Jar Jar's Slow, Painful, Torturous Demise?" Or en espanol, "La Dia De La Muerta De Jar Jar?" Anything with Jar Jar dying, I'll pay $15 bucks to see. Maybe "Jar Jar Gets Flung Into A Blender and C3P0 Sets It To Puree?"

> But anybody who remembers the Ewoks smashing Stormtroopers in ROTJ had to see this coming
Yeah, I thought the scene where Leia came out of the Ewok's home wearing her nightgown would have made a much better meme for him to follow up on.
At least we would know where Wookies come from.
