Really it makes sense to swap the revenge and return around so TPM becomes Return Of The Sith (the Sith clearly return from being thought of as extinct) and the final episode returns to being Revenge Of The Jedi (despite what Lucas may say about Jedi being above such things the Jedi clearly had their arses handed to them in Episode III and return the favour in Episode VI.)

There is a Clone Wars TV DVD called A Galaxy Divided and it evokes British Civil War dramas like By The Sword Divided.

So I'd like A Galaxy Divided to be the Episode II title and The Shadow Falls is such a great title it really should be used at it would make a very good Episode III title.

Hi there mangojango, some really interesting ideas there, glad to have you onboard.

Sorry but I hate this idea, and I can understand why Revenge was not a suitable title in terms of relating to the Jedi. They're guardians of peace and justice. Revenge just doesn't suit them if you ask me. Personally I like Revenge of the Sith as a title, even if who the Sith are, and what they're getting revenge for is never fully explained. Star Wars needs a bit of mystery IMO. It's explaining everything that gave rise to Midichlorians. Urgh.

I think Palpatine (like Prince Prospero in Masque Of The Red Death) makes a good case for the Jedi and the Sith not being that different.

There's nothing worse than a villain who knows he is evil and the heroes do paint themselves a little more clear cut heroic than they actually are.

I actually think Revenge Of The Jedi is a much better title than Return Of The Jedi or Revenge Of The Sith it even sounds better and Lucas's rethink of the title was the beginning of the sort of thinking that lead to Greedo shooting first.
