    Sigh.... it feels like yesterday when I read "Phantom Menace" and had to defend it on the internet.... this isn't as dumb as that title was.

    Sounds lame, but whatever. It's a name, I could like it on a different day.

    I guess we'll have to see what the movie actually is and what the name is referring to, but at the moment, I'm not a fan.

    I suppose it refers to the Jedi order being reformed after being dormant during the Vader era?

    I'm guessing Jedi and force powers all over the place.

    Better names for movies than "Attack of the Clones", literally anything else.

    @johntunoku: Could refer to anything honestly. Although the two young leads are Jedi so it's probably referring to one or both of them.

    Bland! That's the right word for it. Like they pulled it out of the same hat everyone else uses for their lame-ass subtitles.

    Phantom Menace

    Attack of the Clones

    Revenge of the Sith

    A New Hope

    The Empire Strikes Back

    Return of the Jedi

    The Force Awakens

    Fits right in, if you ask me.

    I agree. All of the titles are rather silly by modern standards but are meant to evoke the serials of the 1930's

    Right, like it's been focus tested to be as inoffensive as possible, yet lacking any panache.

    A guy on twitter did a mock up "In an effort to help folks ease into the new Star Wars title" and I think it's pretty effective to be honest.

    It should have been Star Wars: JJ Abrams Cashes in on Fanboy Nostalgia Without Even a Little Originality

    At least it would have been an accurate title.

    This is JJ Abrams we're talking about, it's impossible for him to be original. If he was going to be original, do you think he would have brought in the cast from the OT?

    Lucas planned to have the original cast return since Return of the Jedi. But I think he expected them to be the main characters again. I'm glad they probably won't be. I wanted a trilogy that's disconnected from the other movies, but now I want to see the older characters. The original trilogy and the prequels are separated by about twenty years, so it should be expected that the OT characters would be in the sequel trilogy. The leaked concept art shows some signs of originality. I was afraid the sequels would have the same spacecraft and technology, as fanservice, but some of them appear updated.

    @sinusoidal: I think you've pretty much nailed what this movie will be.

    Not sure how an energy field sleeps, but I'm not a Hollywood A list script writer, so some mysteries will remain so.

    They should have just hired a competent director and screenwriter and had them adapt Timothy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy. It's the best piece of Star Wars fiction outside the first three movies, possibly better.
