(To be filed in the 'That's a bit odd, isn't it George?' cabinet.)

I nearly fell off my chair when I read this. Makes sense, doesn't it?

A New Hope
The Empire Strikes Back
Return Of The Jedi
The Phantom Menace
Attack Of The Clones

Umm....yeah...

Maybe KISS will be in it and we can have an Attack Of The Phantom Clones??

Any other title suggestions?

I shoulda been a title writer:

"Killer Clones from Outer Space"?

"A Thousand Clones" with a CGI Jason Robards?

"Send in the Clones" Music by Sondhiem?

"Twins, the Sequel"

"The Jar Jar Binks Show"

"Vader, The Teen Years"

"Alderban Graffitti"

Titles from the National Enquirer

"I was mother to a million clones" (with a picture of a frazzled woman in front of a huge pile of dirty socks and jock straps)

"Bill Clinton's secret love child!"

I don't understand why he didn't title it "Episode 2: The Clone Wars", since that's how Luke referred to it in his conversation with Kenobi
in the original movie. That would have been a great title.

Or ...

Star Wars 2: The Clone Boogaloo.

I'm so sick of George Lucas and all his crap that I wish he'd just forget the whole thing. The last one was a reel stinker.

Of course my home page is:

But Google and AltaVista are my search engines of choice. It's all in using the correct keywords.

Heck, I like some of the fake names they've put on cans of SW films better than EP1 and 2's real ones. For example, EP1's fake title on our "Fox-in-a-box" was "Perfect Timing", and the replacement reel we recieved for the Star Wars re-release was called "Trooper Ted". Anybody see any others?

"Return of the Jedi" was originally titled "Revenge of the Jedi" --- the trailers and advertising with the original title are collectors items:
