Hmm, perhaps we should leave the "title discussion" for later down the road of this edit. I didn't mean to stir things up about it, I was just throwing out the idea of giving it a title. For the record, if your going to have ep.2-6 have a title, then it would just be silly to have Ep.1 just be called "star wars". I'm sure it looks neat like that on paper, but to anybody who watches this, to whoever receives this....it is going to be Episode One. You cannot get around that. This isn't the "original Star Wars" that we saw in 77. Personally I feel that Ep.4 is the only movie that holds the solitary title of "Star Wars". And I know we are making a stand alone film with this, but it is ENTIRELY related to the rest of the saga. It introduces: the force, anakin, amidala, obi wan, sith lords, jedi, yoda, ect ect.......all of these characters flesh out and make the "saga". And like I said, I totally understand making this movie a stand alone picture , much like the 77 star wars did............but then lucas made Empire Strikes Back and went back to change "Star Wars" into "Star Wars: A New Hope". I think that was a great decision and turned the movies into chapters; which is what they are no matter how you look at it. And considering that we are making "Chapters" of a more serious and connected "saga", I don't see the point in making this Episode One simply "Star Wars".

Now, if you wanted to drop all the titles from the movies and just number them......well that is a different story. I know that a good title is hard to come up with, so lets just let it go for now and return to the issue later down the pipe line once we get the story nailed down and the editting in progress. Or to make everyone happy, simply make it an alternate track for the beginning. You can have a title, or not, the choice is up to the viewer and his remote.

Anyway, i'm all for using the "droid wandering" track for them walking into the town. I just thought that the "mos eisley" music should be saved for mos eisley. But if it works.......


P.S. I love the discussions on this board, everybody has such great ideas!
