Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
HaloZero writes "The title was publicly revealed today in a special presentation to a packed audience of Star Wars fans at Comic-Con International in San Diego, California. The title wasn't the only surprise for those in attendance at the presentation. Click here for news about even more Star Wars DVDs in 2004 and 2005, surprise celebrity guests, new planets in Episode III, and more."
A far more honest title
Where's Indiana Jones?
50 bucks says that revenge will sound too violent, and they movie will be renamed 'Return of the Jedi ^H^H^H^HSith' soon.
The plot:
The Sith get kicked out of their house by the Jedi and have to move into the gym. They get mad, find a sponsor, then move in to beat the Jedi in the annual Corsucant fair and talent show.
The Sith reign supreme from then on.
"The renvenge of the teletubbies" would sure surprise me 100% more.
GAAH! MY PRINTER IS ON FIRE!!! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT!
Star Wars III: Return of the Suckage
Star Wars Episode III: ROTS.
Yeah, that's likely pretty accurate.
Buy the President
The whole prequel series has been the revenge of the Sith on Star Wars fans.
This is the dark side of the trilogy!

No, seriously, this sounds *so* kewl. I wonder if it will have Ewoks in it?
Gee...I hope that's not an omen.
Oh yeah, I think they got a new one:

Indiana Jones IV: The Nursing Home Adventures
Watch an aging Indy in a wheelchair fight off seniale ex-Nazis in a search for the bathroom so he doesn't have to use that bedpan any more. Yet when he gets there, a seniale ex-Nazi has the last roll of toliet paper! Watch as they battle it out with canes, and pause many times to take a breather and adjust their bifocal glasses.
See Indy wonder were Shortround is, and why he had him committed to the nursing home.
Watch as Indy trys to make a break and sneak past Nurses readying trashy novels during the night time hours.
Watch the drama that unfolds during the Bingo game.
Uh, yeah, right, whatever. That's another one I am not going to see.

Dear Mr. Lucas,
If you must post here, please sign up to a Slashdot user account so we at least know it's you. Otherwise people will get the impression that someone really gives a crap about your stupid franchise anymore.
Kind Regards,

Not to flame, but is there something wrong with your keyboard? :)
You are not the customer.
They say that one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different outcome.
But this new movie is going to be good. Really, it will. I have a very good feeling about it -- you can tell from the logo.
You are making the faulty assumption that Prequels and Sequels are a subset of Natural Numbers (I, II, III) when they are in fact a subset of Real Numbers. I Refer you to Lion King 1 1/2. This could mean that we'll be forced to endure a perpetual (infinite) series of Star Wars sequels and prequels. Imagine it now... Star Wars PI: Circle of Hatred. Oh, the horror, the horror. Jar Jar wages war upon the Ewoks to capture their stockpiles of collectible trading cards and plush dolls. Stop the madness!

An oldie but a goodie
I take issue with your statement that there's no explanation as to why the sith are the way they are. We've been beaten over the head with it through the entire series, or put another way, through two series (the one movie yet to be released notwithstanding) and that reason is simply that they are the dark side. The dark side is about everything bad in the world, evil, destruction, violence, hatred. Just as the Jedi strive to embody the opposites of these ideals, the Sith represent them. There is great power in the dark side, but of course the whole point of the movies is that good triumphs over evil because evil is focused on destruction or something like that. Maybe I kind of missed the point though, I thought I almost had it in the third movie, but then a bunch of muppets showed up, and then they put carrie fisher in a bronze bikini and I totally lost my train of thought.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Well, that describes my attitude towards the movie, anyways.

Star Wars Ep III: The Death of Jar-Jar
That's a lot of DNA which will never get passed on.
I am a believer of momentum and curves.
Even if he dies, his family will probably hire the 'Police Academy' people to pimp, er, pump out a few more golden kernels. And with the Sonny 'Look Out For That Tree!' Bono Perpetual Copyright Act, it will be a never ending gravy train. Let's face it: like herpes, Star Wars will be around for a long, long time.
At no point have we seen any motivation for why the Sith are the way they are.
...and they tried to kill off all the Sith. But mainly it's the freedom thing.
The Sith hate the Jedi because they love freedom.
how about Star Wars Episode III: Death of Jar Jar
I can still dream right?

Does it seem like Lucas is using the cookie cutter approach?
Hopefully in Episode 3, instead of the "cute" (to George Lucas) creatures (which would be, in this case, the Gungans) triumphing, they will be instead driven to extinction by Empire rendering Naboo uninhabitable. Jar-Jar gets a magnificently prolonged death scene where, due to his stupidity, he believes Anakin is still a good guy throughout the course of the film, but finally figures it out when Anakin Force Chokes Jar-Jar to death in a magnificent death scene that takes 5 minutes for Jar Jar to die agonizingly in great physical and psychological pain.
And finally, as Jar-Jar expels his last breath and slumps to the ground, the audience will rise as one... in a standing ovation, for the most hated and reviled one is dead. ^_^
Zagreus sits inside your head, Zagreus lives among the dead, Zagreus sees you in your bed and eats you in your sleep.
A great disturbance in the Force, as if a million FanBoys cried out as one and then rushed out to queue up for Episode 3...
Star Wars Ep III: The Death of Jar-Jar
Someone else posted an even better one: "The Passion of Jar-Jar". It's just two hours of Jar-Jar getting beaten.

But isn't 'decent copy of the Holiday Special' an oxymoron?
You manage to turn a discussion about a sinking entertainment franchise into a discussion about George Bush???
Can a discussion about Nazis be far behind?
If Godwin were dead (and buried instead of cremated), he'd be spinning in his grave about now.
The real title will be the Return of the Sith.

Heh... he said helmet.
I don't do this for karma, I do it for cash. It's much better.
