Star Wars Episode 3 title

Clearly a fake due to the fact that you can't have 2 ESB's that's stupid, and we know the real title to the next Star Wars Film (3 not 2) is:

They should call it "The Empire Strikes".

Oh and the reason why EP 3 Will be called AATA:

The titles of Episode I and IV are somewhat similar. "A New Hope" and "The Phantom Menace" are both titles where there is a deeper meaning related to
them. You will have to watch both the movies in order to find out what the titles mean. Also, neither the good guys nor the bad guys are mentioned in either title.

You will find the same similarities in Episode II and V. Just by looking at the title "The Empire Strikes Back", you know that the Empire will attack the Rebellion before even seeing the movie. "Attack Of The Clones" is the same. We already know that there will be clones in the movie, and that they're gonna attack. We also know that the movie will take place during the
Clone Wars. Also, in both the movies, the bad guys are mentioned.

In Episode VI, "Return Of The Jedi", the good guys are mentioned in the title, and the title has multiple meanings. It is clear that George Lucas will find a similar title for Episode III.

This clearly proves that the first, second and final installment of each trilogy has somthing in commun.

Also, to make the pattern more complicated, each sequence (I & IV, II & V, III & VI) are either opposed or equal to one another. Let me explain:

The 1st installment:
In the title ANH, the New Hope is directly related to the victory for the Rebellions, while "The Phantom Menace" is the mystery of the Sith.
These titles are opposed to each other; Good and Bad.
Grammatically they are also opposed; in Episode IV they have used the word "a" while they have used the opposite word in Episode I: "the".

The 2nd installment:
These two movies are similarities, not dissimilarities.
They have used the word "strike" in Episode V, and the word "attack" in Episode II, as well as the bad guys being mentioned in both titles.

All of this has been done intentionally!

Episode I & IV: Titles have profound meanings, neither side is mentioned and
titles are dissimilarities.
Episode II & V: Titles have shallow meanings, bad guys are mentioned and
titles are similarities.

And now...

Episode III & VI: Titles have multiple meanings, good guys are mentioned and
titles are BOTH similarities and dissimilarities.

You see the pattern?

THIS EXCLUDES TITLES LIKE "COLLAPSE OF THE REPUBLIC" AND "RISE OF THE EMPIRE"

It cannot be "Fall of The Jedi", because there cannot be the word "Jedi" in two titles. Neither can there be "Knightfall", because that means basically the same thing. The title has to be one with several possible meanings, and it has to mention the good guy(s); someone other than the Jedi.

Episode III & VI are similar because the good guy(s) is/are mentioned in both titles, and dissimilar because, once again, George Lucas likes to play
with our minds. And this is where I tell you how I have reached my conclusion about the title of Episode III. Grammar is something George really likes to toy with. Episode II and Episode VI have rather similar titles:

Attack OF THE Clones
Return OF THE Jedi
OF THE

Episode V has the following title:

The Empire Strikes Back
THE

The pattern is still the same, see?
Just like Episode I and IV have only 3 words each in their titles.

Hence, An Ally Turns Away
It all makes perfect sense.
It could have multiple meanings, because the Republic has several allies, as has Palpatine. Someone(s) is/are bound to change sides in the dark time that is
Episode III. But most importantly, Anakin, who is an ally to the Jedi, will change sides too.
The dissimilarities with this tiltle from Episode VI is that "a" has replaced "the" from "The Empire Strikes Back", like between Episode I & IV.
The verb "Turn" has also replaced "Return" from Episode VI.

And the grammar matches that of "The Empire Strikes Back", just like it does in Episode I and IV and Episode II and V.

It may not be this title, but the title must follow these rules.

Worst.Name.Ever.

Oh and Bazilla, I don't think an Official Star Wars site would be lying.

We are all Colossal Star Wars Geeks.

Who here saw Lord of the Rings.
I must say I am a bit disappointed, they could have made the orcs look cooler than that. The orcs in that movie look dumb. AND THE BALROG! In the LoTR comics, the balrog is no where near that big, and he doesn't look anything like that! Sheesh. But it was still a good movie. Those 9 horsemens' screams still haunt me to this day...

If Lucas was to completely sell out, I don't think it would be to Tripod.

And, it's not really fair to compare the Lord of the Rings movie to the Lord of the Rings 'comics'. Different artists have different visions of what imaginary characters are going to look like. For example, George Bernard Shaw's version of Pygmalion is radically different from Michael Gottlieb's version, Mannequin...even though they are both based on the same mythical story by Ovid. Now, if Tolkein drew the comics himself, then it's definately a basis of comparison.

*choke* You didn't like it because it clashed with the views presented in the fucking comics? Have you even read the fucking novels??? Were you even aware the novels exist?????

Incidentally, I thought the orcs looked brilliant, and the balrog was breathtaking. If you take the time to read the NOVELS one day, you will find that the Balrog of Moria, Durin's Bane, is described very vaguely - a massive shape, roughly man-like, seemingly made of fire, smoke, and shadow. If you want to see just how bad a film version of tLotR can be, rent out Ralph Bakshi's monstrous animated version some time. The orcs look like badly-costumed African natives, and the Balrog is a laughable-looking thing the size of a man with a static, unanimated lion's head, and plastic wings. It is a really awful costume, rotoscoped badly. Some people seem to like Bakshi's monstrosity, but I have no idea why. I think every copy whould be burnt!

Um,I never said I didn't like the movie.
I have read the novels, all three LoTR and the hobbit.
I didn't say I didn't like the Balrog, I said it didn't look like the ones in the comic books.
The ones in the comics look really dumb. They are man sized, and their chins stick way out, and all their teeth are showing.But I still think the orcs look stupid. Has anyone ever seen the cover of R.L. Steins The Haunted Mask? That's what the face seems to be based on.

Did you know they already have all three movies made?
They are releasing the The Two Towers next christmas and Return of the King The christmas after.

Post #47985link

No, they have all three filmed, but The Two Towers and The Return of the King are not yet made, as such. Right now, a small army of special effects techs are slaving away to turn all the raw footage into visual magic, Howard Shore is writing, orchestrating, and recording the musical score, and then the whole thing will have to be edited together. Each movie is getting about a year of post-production. The one-year intervals are sucky, but necessary.

*sigh*
