[color=66ff00]That trailer just shows that you can make a better movie with genuinely plastic actors, sets that can be authentically copied with bricks and a budget of a few hundred quid.

Lucas ruined starwars. He should just let David Fincher direct I Jedi, there would be a movie worth seeing.

I would complain if he'd make the Thrawn trilogy instead though..

True enough.

And I think the general origin of the assumed 'Rise of the Empire' title was some kind of sarcastic reference to Terminator 3. At least that's how I thought it up.

Since then I think it's suffered from 'US Foreign Policy Syndrome' where a baseless lie has been repeated so many times, it becomes the truth. Lucas himself has undoubtely heard of it and it's as good a title as any for his creatively limited mind to use......

It could, alternatively, be titled "Fall of the Republic," but effectively they mean the same thing.  There is, of course, the fact that Ep. II, which had a plot in which the clones were a minor element, didn't even get the "Clone Wars" title that any half-witted third grader would find more appropriate but rather something which made absolutely no sense.  "Attack of the Clones?"  The clones fought on the "good" side, after all, and only attacked a Sith/Trade federation enclave.  Oh, wait, the clones as a minor plot element thing isn't really relevant, since Ep. II HAD NO PLOT.  Anyway, given the direction the recent Star Wars attempts have gone, if only we were so lucky as to get a title as rational as "Rise of the Empire"

Could have been worse :-

Star Wars Episode II : When Clones Attack!!

;)

I agree, there were massive plot holes in Ep II, I can't believe the Jedi would miss something as massive as that, the Republic wasn't THAT crumbled!

LOL Maeg, how about :-

Star Wars Episode III : The Bad Guys Win

Episode 3: we locked Lucas in a closet and actually made it good

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
