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."

    let's hope that ExoticMandibles is truly a teen and not a middle aged, balding man that hangs out at the mall.

    For awhile everyone thought it was going to be called "The Creeping Fear".

    Actually, if it's as good as The Creeping Terror I'll HAVE to go see it.

    Creeping Terror is THE unintentionally funniest movie ever made. God knows we need one of those now. As it is, Birth of the Empire sounds too much like a comment on current politics and the Patriot Act.

    Clearly you haven't seen Black Samauri. Any movie with ninja voodoo midgets (I am not joking) sporting 10 gallon hats and swinging from vines and an entire fight scene which is completely voiced over so that characters are only speaking when their mouths aren't facing the camera deserves your respect.
