Star Wars Episode III : Birth Of The Empire

Posted by timothy on from the birth-of-a-marketing-blitz dept.

lemmen writes "According the Brtish tabloid The Sun, Star Wars III will carry the name 'Birth Of The Empire'. This will be announced soon according the article. Also it describes one of the highlights of the movie: 'A thrilling lightsabre clash between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker while surfing on lava.' Can't wait till May 15th 2005!" Thanks to reader ExoticMandibles, another quality news source: Teen Hollywood. Update: 05/20 05:47 GMT by T : Gokey writes with a correction: "StarWars.com indicates that the movie is released May 19th, 2005 (exactly one year from now) not May 15th, 2005."

    After Return of the Jedi, and the last two horrible "prequels", why do you people still line up to pay for Lucas's garbage?

    "Birth of the Empire."

    Sounds political to me. With all this talk of "is America an empire" and knowing Lucas's hard left politics, it's safe to say that Ep III will be an overdramatic political statement against President Bush comparable to the propaganda^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hdocumentaries of Michael Moore.
