Paragon_Leon Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 this is very big news.... but you're right. i sincerely hope it's some kind of gag to get a feel for what people think. so far, it's definitely the most lame title they ever came up with.. It doesn't even SOUND right, does it ? And it sounds so incrediblý...obvious about the content of the movie that i'm inclined to believe it is a joke. Most other titles were more illusive. After all, they didn't name Episode IV 'Luke Skywalker Starts His Journey', right ? hope it's a joke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Boba Rhett Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 This quite possibly is the worst name ever created for any movie. I mean from all the cool and good names they could choose from, they choose that?! I hope the title doesn't foreshadow the movie.... So, if you report this as news, do I get credit for being the informant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 yes you do, boba... Although i can't help but think that it's an april's fools-like joke somehow... does anyone remember how long before the actual movie the Episode 1 title became known ? That might give us a hint as to whether this is serious or not... I already read a report that someone liked it and thought it was 'totally consistent with the rest of the titles'.. get real...

Guest Rogue15 Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 EEEEEEWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It would've been better if they'd just use: Episode II: Invasion of the Clones or Episode II: Assault of the Clones attack of the clones though...well, i admit i like it.

darthfergie Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Man I was sick of that title right when I saw it! So I emidiatly e-mailed McCullam the production Designer.

Paragon_Leon Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 In these fast interactive times, what better to do than immediately post a poll about it ? hehe Head on over to the new poll in this forum and vent that anger/happiness by voting for all Lucasfilm to see in hard, systematic coldness !

darthfergie Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Boy this topic is exploding, Boba Rhett you get bonus points in my book! I might have even gone to the movie without knowingabout this one (I doubt it though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ZeroXcape Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 I personally LOVE the title!! Honestly, what else could be better? Well ... maby: Episode II: Untitled Fall of the Republic Republic Downfall Rise of the Sith Galactic Supremacy Republic Trechery Clones, Clones, More Clones Clonage Déjà Vu If StarWars.com posted the news, Lucas isn't going to change his mind on the name. Our only hope is that the site got hacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 If he got enough anti-title letters maybe he would change his mind. How could he let that title SLIP!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boba Rhett Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Yes, I think if enough people rallied against it, It could be changed. Of all the titles he could have chosen, Rise of the Sith Veil of the Sith Rise of the Empire hundreds more... etc.. He chose this. Yep, Old man Lucas has finally lost it.... I don't think this is a joke. This is about the time when TPM title was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Rommel Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 All of Rhett's titles are better than "Attack of the Clones", and he thought them up in about 2 minutes, Lucas has about 2 years and he picks "Attack of the Clones" this sucks...

Guest Kvan Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Or why not just have a symbol, like Prince Episode II : $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon_Leon Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 I just checked http://www.attackoftheclones.com and it IS registered.. no word on if it's been done by Lucasfilm or not.. Theforce.net's forums dislike the title as much as we do.. it simply DOESN'T ring.. sounds MUCH too contrived and is simply TRITE. I'll check the next two days, hoping with all my heart it's a joke to throw us off guard, so George gives us the REAL title after two days of agony..

Guest Generalchang Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 AHHHHHH!! This makes Epsiode II sound like a stupid '50's Space movie! The clones from mars are coming! The clones from mars are coming!!!!! What ever will we do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 How bout...."Episode II: The one where the clones attack and Anikan hits on the queen while also showing some dark side tendancies". I mean couldn't they be alittle more obvious Seriously, THIS IS A JOKE. The name is, whether Lucasfilm is serious or not, it is a JOKE!!!! I thought that "The Phantom Menace" was a pretty decent title, but they could at least be a little more through in their anem choice. Are they really that desperate on people with good ideas. I mean, we all could work at Lucasfilm, if we only had to think up names like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young David Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 It's just a new name. A year from now it's been accepted as a real SW title. I must admit that I was ... surprised when I got the SW e-mail just 5 minutes ago (i just came home). But hey, if you think of it. The Empire Strikes Back is a pretty lame title too ...

Guest Generalchang Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 (Burp, smrugle, vomit) How much of a dumbass has Lucas become since the original movies? His wealth has tainted the thing that made him become wealthy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Hmm, that is a very good way of putting it. It does seem like the Movies have gone downhill a bit since the Special Edition came out. However, this is just a title, not neccessarily a projection of what the movie quality will be. If that's the name, we'll have to except, and hope and pray the movie is better than the name.
