I don’t think I’ve seen it called TESB in a good part of a decade
What do you like to call it?

Technically, TESB makes more sense, but ESB just looks better and is easier to say. Though I usually just prefer to call it Empire.
Funny this thread should come up - I was just wondering this the other day. I’ve mostly called it ESB, probably because that seems to be the more common abbreviation, but realise this is inconsistent with the other films. For example, people tend to include the “T” in “TPM”, “TFA”, “TLJ” and “TROS”.
If searching on Google for things related to Empire, “ESB” is far more lucrative.
TESB.
And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.
The ESB.

The reason This thread came to mind was because someone called it that in a thread I was following.

The ESB.
We have a winner.

Nah, I still prefer either ESB or Empire.

I think the reason why TPM, TFA, TLJ, and TRoS caught on where TESB did not is because the first four only have two words if you exclude grammatical particles, but the Empire Strikes Back has three. Same thing with A New Hope, because if you can exclude “the” you should be able to exclude “a”.

Well that kind of ends the debate.

ESB
ROTJ
TESB
Otherwise you should drop the T from all the other abreviations. PM instead of TPM. FA instead of TFA. LJ instead of TLJ. ROS instead of TROS. And you could make the argument for dropping it from 3 others for AOC, ROS and ROJ. The word THE is there in the title logo and has been since the first promotional items came out.
‘Episode II’, of course!

or just ‘Star Wars 2’…

Also, why do I get the uneasy sense that these titles are connected to each other. The “creeping fear” being that Jar Jar is really the mastermind behind all this.
