So, I'm stealing these from 1997ish RASSM:

But they're pretty funny. See if you can make some new ones:

VERY Catchy. I like them.

Previously, Elson Trinidad <el...@westworld.com> just happened to
mention:

>Episode III: An Old Hope

>Now, when we get to Episode IV, the title makes so much sense...

Well it makes more sense if they were:

Episode I : A hope
Episode II : The same hope
Episode III : That same hope once again

Episode IV : A new hope!!

Inertia,

Star Wars 1

Ah, no. This is the first episode of the *prequels*.

How about "No Hope" or "the End of Hope"

Or "A Brief Loss of Hope"

Or "Only Ben and Yoda Know that There is Still Hope"

Just a few suggestions...

Look, the names of the Star Wars Prequels are:-

Episode 1: Land Wars
Episode 2: The Rebels Strike Back
Episode 3: Return of the Dark Jedi

OK?

These are not good titles. "In the Beginning" sounds an awful lot like
Genesis 1:1. The Clone Wars is redundant: Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Genesis of a Star Saga sounds like a soap opera and is more appropriate
for a prequel to Independence Day. Genesis of the Force is inaccurate,
as the Force is an ancient religion, not conjured up 40 years before
ANH. The Seeds Sown=As the World Turns. Genesis of Evil: as if evil
began 40 years before ANH. Enter the Dark Lord sounds like a stage
direction. Fall of the Republic has been circulating for 15 years. I
doubt Lucas would use this title made up by John Flynn. Rise of the
Empire is not too bad, but Empire was used in Episode 5 and I doubt
Lucas would confuse the public with similar titles. Collapse of the Jedi
is incredibly stupid. They did not collapse, they were exterminated! The
title makes them sound as if they were a bunch of doddering old fools
with one foot in the grave.

Chris

>I wouldn't mind something as bland as "The Old Republic".

I agree with you. We don't need any 'crusaders' or 'balance' or
'genesis' in the prequel titles.

Here's What I'd like to see

Episode one: Fall of the Republic

Episode two: The Clone Wars

Episode three: Luke and Liea's wacky, wild escape from the big, bad
Dark Jedi ;^)

1 - Ben and Anakin's Excellent Adventures
2 - Lars Attacks!
3 - Night of the living Jedi

Episode 1 : The Jedi Who Walked Up A Hill And Fell Into A Volcano
Episode 2 : Fast Times In Dagobah High
Episode 3 : Don't Be A Menace To The Good Side While Drinking Your
Juice In The Hood

etc...
