Star Wars II: Return of the Name

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the its-not-that-good dept.

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.

    Remember when all the kids got killed, and Aslan turned into Jesus, in C.S. Lewis's The Last Battle?

    Er, this came as a suprise to you? He was sacrificed and came back from the dead to redeem Narnia in the first book. Lewis was not subtle about these things.

    The slashdot article from 1997 reacting to "The Phantom Menace" http://slashdot.org/articles/98/09/27/127231.shtml Too bad /. wasn't around in 1979 or 1982, we would have flipped over Ep V and Ep VI too.

    yes, for all you who didn't know, this movie should be set in the time of the clone wars. so the title makes sense, even tho it's a bit wimpy ;)

    "Revenge of the Jedi" wasn't a ploy; the name was changed at the last minute. There are extant movie posters which read "Revenge". Highly valuable among those who have too much extra money and a love of Ewoks...

    Return of the Jedi implies a renaissance of the Jedi in general, not just one of them, so, assuming a large Jedi presence in episode 7, it's a better title.

    I see even classic Slashdot is now pretty much unusable on dial up anymore.
