Star Wars Episode III Title Released: Revenge of the Sith
The Drudge Report ^ | 7/24/2004

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."

So which characters will make their debut in this one? Hopefully my favorite Boba Fett in Bounty Hunter form. I have also heard we might see Chewbacca or even Han Solo.

Han Solo? Yeah, if he happens to have a Time Warp accident. Harrison Ford is OLD now....

Imagine if one of the Sith actors goes to a convention and one of the Star Wars dweebs pisses him off so much that he slugs him.

The title to the article could be, "When the Sith hit the Fan!"

"Darn. I was holding out for Star Wars Episode III - The One That Doesn't Suck"

They tried that one, but they couldn't get it past the "truth in advertising" folks at the FTC.

And I guess you don't cheer your football/hockey/baseball/basketball team and know the names and numbers of every player and all the statistics? And you don't agaonise over everything the team does?

William Shatner said the same thing to a group of faux-trekkies on a "Saturday Night Live' skit years ago who were standing around wearing their personal Starfleet Uniforms, Spock's Ears and makeup to look like Klingons.................

"Get a freakin' life!"

Okay.

No, I don't make it a point of driving up to DC to attend rallies for the Washington Redskins.......or drive in the offseason down to Tennessee to be present at the latest scheduled press conference in April for the Titans announcement on their latest Running Back acquisition.

There are too many more important things in my life.

I'll catch the movie when it comes out.

Get a freakin' life,!

Ok, then, you're not a super fan. These folks are and that IS their life, so why don't you let them do what they want? I don't stand in the rain for 3 days to get a ticket to a Star Wars movie, but I'm still a fan and if some person WANTS to stay in the rain for 3 days let them. They have a life and that's it.

Considering that you've made seven posts (Post 17, 22, 26, 31, 67, 109, and 113) out of the 140 or so in this thread, it is apparent to even the casual observer that bashing other people's entertainment choices IS your life.
