Star Wars: Episode II's New Name

By Acheron August 6, 2001 9:02 PM

Well, Lucas, in usual prequel fashion, gives his most recent work an awful name. ?But hey, it could be worse. ?Episode II's new name: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

It sounds worse than Mars Attacks. At least that movie had better known actors. I also think George need to put that crack pipe down, "Attack of the Clones". What is he thinking?!

That's exactly what he was shooting for.

He sees these films as an homage to the classic Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers type serials from the 40s and 50s.

"Attack of the Clones"...Hmm..the only thing I can hope for is that he just threw this title out there to see if it would float. Remember "Revenge of the Jedi"? Maybe he will not keep this as his final title. I am the ultimate Star Wars fan and have been waiting anxiously for this new movie. After finding out the new title I honestly don't feel as excited. It's bad enough Jar Jar is in Episode II, but a crappy title on top of that is a downer. I have a pool going on in the office that at some point in the movie they actually utter "Send in the Clones!"...and they dont intend to be funny about it either.

Dear George,

May I call you Jorge? If so, then why don't we name the new film "Star Wars: Attack of the Rancor Pinata". That way, When a couple of drunk jedi's swing the sabers at the pinata, it can burst open and little bags of mexican crack can fall out and we can all smoke crack together and bang a couple of ewoks while we're at it. That IS what you're planning with your latest installment of Star Wars, aren't ya Jorge?

Oh, that's right. You've come up with a much more sensible title in the same vein as your masterpeice breakthrough, The Phantom Plot, err, I mean the Phantom Menace. Well, last time I checked, Destro, Voltron, Optimus Prime, nor Skullitor will be making an appearance in your God Forsaken Episode 2, so why don't you do us all a favor and come up with a title that DOESN'T sound like a GoBot's saturday afternoon special.

In fact, sense you've seemed to have lost the ability to think clearly, may I suggest the following titles to use in leiu of your wiggidy bang bang BS title: "Attack of the Clones".

How about... "Star Wars: When Clones Attack"

Or... "Star Wars: Dancing with Clones"

May I suggest... "Star Wars: Smokey and the Bandit Run Over Jar Jar with their supergalactic Firebird, The End" ?

Or if you must... "Mars Attacks!", "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" or "Citizen Clone".

That's right silly little George, we will allow the richest man in Hollywood to wear Jordache Jeans and Ross Flannels, but we will NOT allow the progenitor of three (not 4) unparalleled Star Wars films make another blundering crackhead stab at a film a la the Phantom Menance.

We beg you: Join the rest of us here on planet earth who would prefer to anticipate the new Star Wars film with excitement rather than dread, and if you feel this letter is speaking to you then while you're at it, why not have Act 1: Scene 1 go like this:

Act 1

Scene 1

ext. Tatooine Surface

Jar Jar walks to the edge of a cliff, falls over the edge and dies.

...SOUND GOOD GEORGE!?! Good. Obi Wan HAS taught you well...

Rename the film. Name it anything. But not "Attack of the Clones." We beg you. You are shaping the lives of many young jedi to come. Use the Force George. You came up with the whole thing. Why not use it?

RE: Star Wars: Episode II's New Name reply

Like Most Movie lovers, I am also a Star Wars Fan, But Come On LUCAS! Don't get me wrong, Any one of us would kill to be in Star Wars Film, (without Jar-jar) but with a title like 'Attack of the Clones' it sound like a 100% B-"Flick", Something an Actor would try to stay away from. I mean you might as well call it 'Attack of the "Killer" Clones'.
like all Be-Rated Titles. Now if you stick will the book title, try 'Clone Wars', or something better than 'Attack of the Clone'. A good Title is what sells.

That's exactly what we need. Something to spice up this thread so that it can somehow drag itself to a level of respectablity. All we need is another person to repeat the same "When Clones Attack" line. It was funny the first time.

So to go back on topic. Who cares about the title. It's all about content. Although as my buddy Pipes once said. Why not simply call it StarWars Episode II - The Clone Wars. That's what they were called in the first place anyway.

ladies and gentlemen,
I present the only random shemp to add anything to the dicussion ever,
now to comment,
Go-bots, that was the show I was trying to remember,
but anyway, why doesn't Jorge' name it what it is,
THE CLONE WARS
attack of the clones sounds like a working title, i hope he was just being hounded and threw the viscious crowd a bone to chew on,
gives me chills to think that Lucas is too old to make good decisions......
but I guess its been like that for a few years.....
see family movies are FAMILY movies, Cats and Dogs, Rugrats in Paris, and so on...
Star Wars changed everything, he was once able to make a film that didn't give in to the demand for PC humor and fun for the whole family, kids even hated Jar Jar
come on Jorge'
give us a f%ckin' break

Posted by SciFiGuy (vbprgrmr@yahoo.com) on August 7, 2001 4:18 PM

When some fan put a recut version of Phantom Menace on the net, without Jar Jar and some cuts that made Anikin less 'cute', the rumor was that Lucas got the message. The next Star Wars is supposed to be more gritty with a more mature look to it.

So I assumed this would be a movie to look forward to. ie one without Jar Jar. I guess I was wrong. I like the sense of humor of the posters here though. Especially, Act I Scene 1. Jar Jar steps off the edge of a cliff. Good stuff.

Yeah? and your point? Those names were no where near as hokey as "attack of the clones"! Even something so simple as "The Empire Strikes Back" rolls off the tounge without feeling like an ass for saying it! "Attack of the Clones" is beyond lame. From a man who created a phenomenom that became more than pop culture to come up with such a droll name is a complete let down. You would think since "the Clone Wars" was mentioned in the first movie it would be a classier more suitable title.

Well if the title is this inane, and the story as bad as everyone thinks with the same stupid characters, I guess George will let this one go to DVD like me did the phantom menace. Yet he still won't release the original Star Wars trilogy on DVD. Why not? were they too good for DVD but good enough for VHS? Undeniable proof that George is smoking something..

I agree to a degree. "A New Hope?" "The Empire Strikes back?" "Return of the Jedi" if you think about it, they are all really cheesy dumb titles. They are, however, apporpriate names for their respective films. But let's face it, whether its appropriate or not, "Attack of the Clones" is the dumbest f*cking title anyone could ever possibly come up with for ANY kind of movie.

Be realistic for gods sake. You are probably the same people that whined about him wanting to call the third film Revenge of the Jedi. I still remember the noise "But Jedi's don't seek revenge". He invented the damn thing and can call it what he likes and make as many dumb characters as he likes. I expect it'll be a coule of hours of good eye candy and nothing more. What else could you expect from the man that gave us the Ewoks? Sit back and enjoy it. Who cares what it's called?

Actually Lucas was the one who claimed "a Jedi doesn's seek revenge" and ended up changing the title to "Return of the Jedi". Ewoks are still cooler than "ATTACK OF THE CLONES"...and I don't care for ewoks either.

I'll admit it: At first, my heart sank when I read the new title. But I got over it. It's just another movie and another title.

I was eleven years old in 1981 when THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was first released and I didn't have any thoughts on the title. I just wanted to see the movie.

I'm going to see Episode II regardless of what it's called and I will love it or leave it on its merits, or lack thereof.

I'm willing to bet that we'll all be there making this movie a #1 blockbuster even if he decides to change the title to "Star Wars: Episode II - This One Sucks Too"

Relax. He may change his mind. After all, "THE STAR WARS" became STAR WARS, right?

On the other hand, he's not so financially insecure as he was back then. I'm sure he fretted over every aspect of every detail back then. I wonder if weallth has changed him that much?

Personaly I am a little disapointed by the lack of respect for other peoples opinions. I'm a 20 year old college student who was introduced to the Star Wars galaxy by a neighbor durring my middle school years. I find it hard to believe that so meny people would waist their time bashing a movie that they dont care about. Personaly I think Lucas could have done a better job with the tital. Even though I do not like the tital I will be at the movie opening day. I hate Jar Jar but I will be buying Episode I on DVD soon. To me Star Wars is more that just a movie its a reasion for a bunch of people who seen each other a few years ago, to get back together. I seen the same people at Episode I as I did at the Special Edition. To me this is about briging the generation gap and keeping a legicy alive.

I'm not so sure about Attack of the clones as a name, but I did get a chance to see the first trailer for Episode II at MWNY about a week and a half ago. For whatever it's worth, title be damned, the movie looks frickin' awesome, and it will cover the Clone Wars.

Just a random $.02!!!

Then why are they attacking? "Attack of the Clones" is just as misleading.

How about:
Star Wars EPISODE:II
THE NEW BAD GUY AFTER THE LAST BAD GUY WAS KILLED!

or

Star Wars EPISODE:II
ATTACK OF THE BAD GUYS!

maybe

Star Wars EPISODE:II
ATTACK OF THE LET DOWN STAR WARS FANS!

In Star Wars, Princess Leia starts her transmission to Obi Wan Kenobe by saying that he served her father in the clone wars. One would think that we will see him doing just that in this film. I agree, the title is not particularly inspiring, but I can see where it is going.

Okay 20 year old college student...tital is spelled title...what high school let you graduate?

...and we're supposed to take your opinions seriously?

As for the title...who cares? Call it "Star Wars V" Nobody cares about the Rocky series' titles do they? So why should we care about this one?

The Title "Clones" alone, would be much better.

You people have way to much f*cking time on your hands. Who gives a sh*t what its called. You know you geeks will be there to dis it one way or the other. Or perhaps spooge in your popcorn if it meets your approval. I just wonder if you freaks ever remember what it was like to enjoy a movie without having to pull out your little technical guides to see how wrong Mr. Lucas was. Give me a break already. Just go watch the damn movie and quit your b*tching!!!

People calm down... All I see is a bunch of people with their panties in a bunch.... Attack of the Clones may not be what I expected for a title but it may serve its purpose. The Clone Wars may not because they may not end during this chapter. Give the movie a chance, stop complaining, and afterwards if the movie sucked then complain. Besides the Star Wars reputation and name how long do you think of the title: the first 4 seconds of the movie as it scrolls upwards... And I'm sick of you losers who feel you have to swear on here. Come on it just makes you look even more pathetic....Well almost as pathetic as the guy who listed 50 or so variants of movies with clone in it.

Once again George, did it, got everyone talking. HUM? And it's all FREE. Come on PEOPLE there's still time. But little room for a change in the title, unlike it? Hey, there's still "New HOPE".

Star Wars should have ended with Jedi. reply

Star Wars ran its course. The first three films were cool but now it's just dumb ass Lucas throwing the campiest most contrived crap on the screen possible knowing that people will rush to the theaters to see it. I may have seen Phantom Menace in the theaters like everyone else but now that I know Lucas in incapable of recapturing the magic of the original three films I refuse to watch any more of the crap he spews up on the screen with the Star Wars name. Join with me and renounce the prequel trilogy. It's over with, the ship sunk and any more films are only adding insult to injury.
Besides, we now have the Matrix, which is a lot cooler. Matrix 2 will easily do better in the box office than Star Wars 2. Anyway, I'm done ranting..and oh yeah, the title does suck. Lucas is just showing that this film will be as bad or worse than the walk out on Phantom Menace.

If you've ever read the book series, then you would understand why the new movie was called "Attack of the Clones." Stop watching movies and read a good book.

I love "the Marix" just as much as I love the Star Wars series but I am sorry to report that Eps II will make twice what Matrix 2 makes. Eps III will do the same to Matrix 3. I will contribuing to both funds but to be honest, Star Wars just has bigger LOYAL fan base- shame on all you supposed "boycotters"

Oh yeah, I think the title is acceptable, I would prefer just "The Clone Wars" better though, but it's not a big deal.

RE: Star Wars: Episode II's New Name reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on May 3, 2002 4:42 PM

Perhaps the Clone War starts at the end of the movie. The clones attack, the war begins, but the war hasn't been going on long enough to title it "The Clone Wars"
