Special Announcement: Episode III Title
July 24, 2004

starwars.com is pleased to announce that Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith is the full title of the next Star Wars film, scheduled for release on May 19, 2005.
The Sith are masters of the dark side of the Force and the sworn enemies of the Jedi. They were all but exterminated by the Jedi a thousand years ago, but the evil order continued in secrecy. They operated quietly, behind the scenes, acting in pairs - a Master and an Apprentice - patiently biding their time before they could take over the galaxy. In Episode III, they'll finally exact their revenge on the Jedi.

The title was publicly revealed today in a special presentation to a packed audience of Star Wars fans at Comic-Con International in San Diego, California. "For some time now, the naming of a new Star Wars movie has taken on some special meaning among core fans, who love to take part in guessing games before a title is announced, and then engage in debate once it is," said Steve Sansweet, Director of Content Management and Head of Fan Relations for Lucasfilm. "Let the debates begin."

The title wasn't the only surprise for those in attendance at the presentation. Click here for news about even more Star Wars DVDs in 2004 and 2005, surprise celebrity guests, new planets in Episode III, and more...

Cool, a title that doesn't sound like it came out of a fortune cookie! :T

Now, if he'll only get the MOVIE right. . . . :duh:

Now, if he'll only get the MOVIE right. . . .

Hear, hear! But that's a pretty big "if only", given his track record with the "prequels" so far. He's proven time and time again that, these days, he's not up to the task by himself. The improvement in the story of Ep II over Ep I may be in large part due to his bringing in Jonathan Hales to punch up the script.

Even though the film has been in production for some time now, for "Revenge of the Sith" he should relinquish directing to someone like Sam Raimi (Spider-Man 2) or Peter Jackson (The Frighteners) :>) and let a team like Alfred Gough and Miles Miller (Spider-Man 2) write the screen story and Alvin Sargent (Spider-Man 2) do the screenplay -- or even bring back Irvin Kershner (Empire Strikes Back) to direct and let Lawrence Kasdan (Empire Strikes Back) help him with the screen writing.

Otherwise, we are probably going to get an Ep III that follows too closely in the dismal footsteps of Eps I and II...

While I don't mind this title, I actually liked the earlier rumored title of The Creeping Fear.
