What's the name of EP3 gonna be?

lol, my first reaction was "Eeeeeeewwwwww..." *thud* ...unconcious for about ten minutes.... *slowly waking up again and looking at the screen again* "Aaaaaahhhh..." *thud*...

But now I think: What the heck, Lucas can call it what he will - even "Attack of the corrupt polititians from outer space" - as long as the rest of the movie surpasses my expactations and it's some good action there - I'll be happy and gladly accept the cheesy title.

Oh well, I made a few statements here and there. But all in all I was pretty relaxed about the whole issue. I was a regular reader, though. As for my regular appearance nowadays, you have to thank Jim Ward's 'kind words' for the fans - that really made it a personal issue for me. That's also what actually inspired me to make lots of custom banners (still haven't showed you guys all of them) and attempting to design a flier to inform people about the situation. I'm also pimping the petition wherever possible and arguing until my opponents yield and sign the friggin' thing. The web is suffering - and it's all Jim Ward's fault.

Hey folks, Harry here... Ordinarily I would stay about 30,000 miles away from a rumor about the title of the final Star Wars prequel. How many rumors have there been? A zillion? I've been hearing "RISE OF THE EMPIRE" for a billion years now, but I've always dismissed it because frankly - with the last film having "of the" in the title, I really didn't feel that Lucas would have that in a subsequent title... didn't feel like his style. That being said - when I got this email... with all the blank pieces filled in and when I talked to a friend that knew the person that fills those blanks and works with them - well - this early morning they confirmed this for me. Now... having said that - it is awfully close to April 1st and well that brings out the loons. But I believe this title simply because... well... it sounds like something Lucas would hatch for the final title. Read on, I'll be back afterwards...

Hi Harry,

A lttle nugget of Star Wars info...I work in the animation industry, and I've just had a very interesting conversation with ___________ ___. We were discussing the presentations for the upcoming MIPCOM tradefair which starts at the weekend, and she/he/it was talking about the _____________, and how successful it's been for them...etc...then she/he/it said that Lucasfilm will be announcing the title of Episode 3 early next week, and they were rushing to reprint some artwork with the new title to take to MIP.

She/he/it said the title had been 'Rise of the Empire', but George Lucas recently changed his mind, and it will now be titled 'The Creeping Fear'. She/he/it said this refers to a hooded Death type character who wipes out the Jedi.

If you do use this, can you be sure to leave out ___________ ___'s name...(I wouldn't want he/her/it to get into trouble!)

Thanks Harry,

Call me Gibby Bunt
THE CREEPING FEAR... it sounds like a serial chapter title... it has a retrofunk to it and like both the previous names it would be sure to drive fanboys screaming mad about how Lucas is insane and how Fincher should be directing the final part... but... THE CREEPING FEAR is the thing that's gonna bite Anakin on the ass and complete his transformation. THE CREEPING FEAR is what is going to be wiping out the Jedi, making the few survivors genuinely feeling like lucky bastards. This could all be bullshit, but we'll see soon enough if the rest of the email is correct... personally I do have a skeptical side... after all, THE PHANTOM MENACE was unleashed in September... and ATTACK OF THE CLONES was an August thing, almost a full month earlier... this would be quite a bit earlier than expected... Let's see if THE CREEPING FEAR turns out to be more than just geeks' feelings towards the 3rd and final prequel.

Even George Lucas doesn't like colorized films, and he's all about modern technology in film making. But yah, I remember that I really didn't like black and white movies when I was very young, but stuff like Laurel & Hardy and other classics that were suited for a younger audience kinda convinced me slowly but surely.

Hehe, well said Warbler. It wasn't really a biggie, I just think you get angry too quick (although I can understand that someone with a short temper can get angry at intentionally provocative statements, like those made by Lord Peeler - I'm still convinced he merely came here to troll around a bit because this is "the whiny fanboy's homebase" in his twisted phantasies). We also have to wait and see if Lord Peeler is able to forgive where you were able to apologize.

Indy IV Still On - Steven Spielberg assures fans, Source: about.com

After the Schindler’s List DVD event, I approached Steven Spielberg to ask about the status of Indiana Jones IV. After news that George Lucas rejected Frank Darabont’s script, the project’s status is in flux. But like a parent reassuring a scared child, Spielberg remained optimistic. “Of course it will still happen,” Spielberg said. He would not, however, discuss the problems with Darabont’s script. “I won’t go into it with you now, but it will definitely still happen.”

Lord Peeler, I suggest you actually read the petition letter that will be sent to George Lucas along with all the signatures of the people who signed it - Link to petition letter. If you find anything unpolite in there, that would justify you coming in here and bash the entire originaltrilogy.com community from your very first post on, please let me know.

Ah, correction. I've also said it would be nice to have both on DVD. It would be.
True. But it wasn't really the main theme of your rantings, so I deemed that statement a bit half-hearted.

Quote
But I see the petty attacks and bashing against George Lucas as not only pointless, but actually counter productive to your goal.
True. Yet I have to say you're not a very good role model yourself, when it comes down to that kind of productive behaviour you demand from others at all times.

Quote
The bashers and haters don't see that, ...
Yep. That does include yourself, though.

Quote
If you want me to give you $5, do you think you'd have better results if you asked me nicely, or told me to give you $5 or else you'll break my legs?
I don't want $5 from George Lucas, I want to give him an additional $50 (or more) for his original vision of the classic StarWars trilogy on DVD.

Quote
Especially if you where an overwieght, smelly fanboy who sweats when he breaths?
What was it again you said about petty attacks and bashing a few lines before?

Quote
I'm willing to bet George has gotten many more e-mails saying "Fuck you Lucas, you asshole! Give me the originals on DVD or I'll cutt your balls off" then "Dear Mr. Lucas, could I pretty please have the originals on DVD? Please?"
Well, that's mere speculation on your part.

Quote
I think you are still missing the point I've been making for several pages now.
No. You just failed to make one. All you did was putting a group of StarWars fans in one sack and bashing them with pointless insults and generalisations.

In my opinion, you guys should have gotten over it by now.
Yep. Fact is, I haven't. I want both versions on DVD. Something that isn't unprecedented either.

jimbo, is actually a pretty nice guy and not a troll at all and many people respect him a lot, despite of different opinions. The only one trolling on these boards at the moment is you. That's for sure.

If you just came here to 'back poor jimbo' up, I have to tell you that he's doing a pretty good job speaking for himself. This is no battle field for trollsports. It's a message board for all the StarWars fans who share one common goal: To have the original theatrical cuts on DVD as well as the Special Editions.

If you don't share this goal, these boards are not really meant for you. jimbo is welcome here because he is a nice guy and he actually shares our common goal, besides his preference of the Special Editions. You on the other hand just try to bash people, because "some - correction - all of your friends were jealous of your millenium falcon".

Then came the dark times. The internet. Here fanboys could reach out across cyber-space and bitch, piss moan and groan...
Erhm... and what is it you are doing?


And you are right, since Lucas meddled with the script and disallowed any public screening or rerelease of the original cuts, some fans are a bit alienated about the whole story. The cause for this trouble? George Lucas' ego.

Quote
Star Wars fans slowly and surely where replaced by self loathing fanboys
*whistles the x-files tune* errh... riight. And who was the poor fella, who was 'chosen' to be replaced by you?

Quote
they are still the same movies, only with better effects
Nope. They are slightly different movies, due to the script changes George Lucas applied.

Quote
...all my friends where jealous because I had the Millenuim Falcon and they didn't.
???

Quote
That jealousy is still there, and it's directed at George Lucas. These pathetic losers wish they had the success he does...
erhm... wha? I just want both versions of those great movies he made, on DVD. If I'm jealous of something after all, then it's those film reels of the original cuts he safely keeps at skywalker ranch.

Quote
they'll do anything they can to try and bring him down to their level.
lol, nope. He's doing that all by himself. I'm also amazed you manage to reach an even lower level than he does.

Quote
Do I think I'm better than them? Hell yes...
LMAO, no you're just an extremist Lucas fanboy, who came here to troll around a bit. At least that's the impression you've made so far.

Well, I can name the problem 'black and white style' if you like: "They" are die hard fans of the original theatrical cuts, the versions of StarWars that wrote film history and won many oscars - and you are a die hard fan of George Lucas, who adopted Lucas' agenda of "the artist's rights weigh heavier than the fan's rights".

You want to know where I stand? Fine. I think the artist and the fans have equal rights to get what they want. George Lucas should of course be allowed to create a special edition and alter the films as he sees fit, but at the same time the fans should be allowed to continue to watch the old version as well, if that's what they prefer.

For me it is a logical consequence that if the special editions are to be released on DVD, that the original theatrical cuts should be released on the same format as well. It's not a matter of owing it to us, imho. It's a matter of respect. And since it's George Lucas who has total control over his movies, he is the only one capable of making that grand benevolent gesture of 'making all the fans happy'.

Since he doesn't intend to do so, I choose to publically voice my opinion on that matter, by signing this petition and posting weird stuff on forums almost no one reads, but those cool guys you insult as 'brainless fanboys'. They are just much more passionate about it than the average film fan is. George Lucas should feel flattered that these guys spend so much time supporting his original vision. But that's just my opinion.

I just ask you: Who are you to put yourself above them? What makes your preferences and likings more valid than theirs? The fact that your views don't conflict at all with those rather egoistic views of George Lucas, make you look like a far worse case of 'fanboyism', if you ask me.

At least you got something in common with George Allmighty. A huge achievement if you want to be like him. Do you also wear flanell?

Yep. And I don't owe him either.

I'm just happy to be getting the movies on DVD in less than six months.
That's cool with me. No one here has a problem with that.

I fail to see the logic in punishing myself...
Ehrm... and who exactly demanded that of you?

Quote
It's the same story, with better effects.
Nope. It's a slightly different story, because of the script changes George Lucas applied.


In my book, it's perfectly allright to prefer the SEs. But it's also perfectly allright to prefer the original theatrical cuts... at least in my book. It would be nice if you could just accept it - no one here requires you to understand it.

lol, Lord Peeler are you for real? You really got an attitude problem coming here just for trollsport. Like any of your brainless constructions of twisted logic would convince anyone. If I'm desperate to get the original theatrical cuts on DVD, you're double desperate in your attempts to make me not to want them - and you can't even explain why you waste your time trying.

I'm all about having anything available on DVD that was once good enough to be screened in movie theatres across the world, because it's the first format that is actually suited for archival purposes. We have such a rich culture and it would be a pity to lose all those 'first steps on the moon' for each era of film.

StarWars is such a nice example, because the original theatrical cuts are - as George Lucas stated himself for years - indeed timeless. Every time I watch them, I'm so totally awed by what they managed to pull off back then - most the SFX in ANH look so 'not 70s', imho. It's such a pity George Lucas is so ashamed of it.
