Yay! The first trailer is finally here. Looks pretty intriguing, although I don't care for the title "Revenge of the Sith." Go to www.starwars.com to see it.-------------------- Small minds think in small terms!

Well, for one thing, what are the Sith having "revenge" for? They haven't even emerged yet...few know of Sidious and no one knows that Palpatine has his hand in evil. Just seems something like "Shadows of the Sith" or something would have made more sense. But maybe that's just me.-------------------- Small minds think in small terms!

Yeah, but how many people who are fans of the movie know about these Sith wars? I'm not sure. I'm just thinking in terms of the previous titles of the films. Episode One: The Phantom Menace
Episode Two: Attack of the Clones
Episode Three: REVENGE of the Sith?
Episode Four: A New Hope
Episode Five: The Empire Strikes Back (Now THERE is a cool title)
Episode Six: Return of the Jedi I mean, "Rise of the Sith" makes more sense to me, or "Triumph of the Sith," like Gray is saying. First you have this mysterious, unidentified menace; then you have the sudden attack of clones followed by the RISE of Sith (ahem, DARK JEDI) who triumph over the Jedi and take over. Then you have a "new hope" to come in as a possible answer to these evil dudes who are in control, but the Empire (with said evil dudes) strikes back. But finally, the Jedi return and win out via Luke. So where the heck is there room for revenge of the Sith in all that? The other titles don't relate back to any EU references, why should this one? Sorry, I'm rambling now. But I hope my point at least makes sense. And yeah, Loban, the "Lord Vader, RISE." is a goosebumps moment for sure. It's the beginning of the next story arc, heh.

Well, I put this somewhere else, but I do see why they choose the name "Revenge of the Sith." We all know that the sith of the Star Wars universe were originally a species that became slaves to the dark jedi that were banished from the Old Repuplic almost 10,000 years before A New Hope. The sith eventually intergrated with the humans and soon the sith empire began to grow. The Great Hyperspace Wars ensued when the Old Republic, exploring the galaxy accidentally ran into the Sith Empire, and the Sith eventually lost the war. There were several battles between the Old Republic and Sith who attacked the Old Republic numerous times. In the last major battle between the sith and Old Republic, one sith choose to go into hiding (damn, I forgot his name). From then on, for thousands of years, the Sith planned and plotted the destruction of their hated enemy the Old Republic and the Jedi. In Episode III, the Sith, Palpatine and Vader, finally complete the vengence of hundreds of dead sith by transforming the Old Republic into the Empire and wiping out the Jedi, hence the name "Revenge of the Sith." It may not be the best name, but I'm fine with it.

I think so much happens in this next movie... the first part will be building up the Sith, I hope, with the second half the Revenge.. 3 1/2 hour movie anyone? :PI look at it like 2 movies in one, say you take Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and build those two stories into one movie... it would be titled Return of the Jedi, because that's how the story ends.. in a way Lucas is ending it again, sort of.. lol btw, I was very pleased I could talk about this trailer.. even that ship that fights fires was totally awesome!! and I like how they made it seem like Obi Wan was kissing Padme, Hayden totally looks like Ewan when he's got that long hair.. am I right or am I right?

Personally, I like the title "Revenge of the Sith." I think it fits in well with the other movie titles...and there's an interesting bit of somewhat-obscure trivia behind it.For those who don't know, up until the last few months of production, "Return of the Jedi" was going to be titled "Revenge of the Jedi." Lucas, however, didn't like this title. He felt that it didn't fit the image of the Jedi that he envisioned. The Jedi, he felt, weren't the type of people to take "revenge" on anyone. So he instead came up with the title change, to "Return of the Jedi." So, you see, I think that's where the title "Revenge" came from. Lucas was showing the contrast between the Jedi and the Sith, I believe, by showing that the Sith were the type to take revenge, for the Jedi wiping them out, you see. "Return of the Jedi," "Revenge of the Sith." In my opinion, the trilogy-ender titles go together well. But maybe I'm just looking too much into it, and its all just a coincidence... -------------------- I am Ragorian, the mighty Blade of Chaos. Where I am weilded, darkness and dissent shall reign.
