Yeah, I don't really dig using "the" in "The Republic Lost", but I wanted to keep with the tradition of the OUT, and specifically "A New Hope". Jedi was the only one of the original 3 not to use an indefinite article like "a" and "the". I'm not into using ROTS as the title, because it's never made clear in the prequels what the revenge is all about, unlike the story in ROTJ which clearly reinforces the movie's title. I'm attempting to find a title that reflects the serial titles of the OUT in their ability to clearly reflect the main thrust of each movie and perhaps to have multiple meanings like ANH refers both to the stolen Death Star plans and to Luke as well.
I'll hopefully have a preliminary title crawl with 20th Century Fox Fanfare done and posted by the end of this weekend.
