'Starting Wars' fits the pattern the best, but I think it is too vague. The problem with fitting title to the pattern is the name 'Star Wars' is different than 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 'Return of the Jedi' in that both 'Empire' and 'Jedi' are accepted alternative names to the full titles while there is no short version of the title of 'Star Wars' or 'A New Hope'. No one calls it 'Star', or 'Hope' or anything else. It's pretty much 'Star Wars'. All of this is just pointing out the obvious to show that the pattern can't be perfectly matched. All the more reason to not worry about the pattern here and use the title that best reflects the project. I had liked 'From Starkiller to Star Wars', but I don't think that would fit either as I'm sure the focus of the movie won't be devoted exclusively to the evolution of the scripts from the early Starkiller drafts to the final version of the film.

Sorry about the ramblings. Carry on.
