SPOLIER ALERT! SPOLIER ALERT! SPOLIER ALERT!
Release Date: May 24, 2002.
Just to note: Boba Fett will be in this movie.
Oh, shut up, Cabe ccabe! What type of name is that anyway? I'm using this site today to try to get attention. I want a site for hardware Wars, the hillarious parody!
Ask and you shall revieve.
Revieve, huh? I bet that's Han's slogan now.
I meant "receive", sorry.
Just kiddin' ya.
Me too, Ccabe. I just resent it when people claim that a "True" Star Wars fan dosen't want to know about the movies. I'd read the script if I could find one. Also, the name Ccabe. Not to poke fun, but I've never heard it before. What nationality is it? Wait a minute... ask and you shall reveive? I mean, receive? I like the sound of that. Does one already exist? Or will one, soon?
Oops, I just found it. Heh, Heh.
A bit off the subject:
My last name, Cabe, is Scottish. It comes from McCaber, which means "son of a telegraph post (caber)" or something like that.
Oh. By the way, I just found out you are the moderator. Heh...Heh..Heh...Erk! About that shut up thing, I was just kidding...Buddy. Pal. Sir.
Why exactly is this section up? Episode II is at least THREE YEARS AWAY from being released!
Don't you guys have anything better to do?
Nope!
Read in Newsweek that this one will have the clone wars in it. Be interesting to finally see what that is about.
Clone wars? YES! Oh, and we have better things to do, but why? Nitpicking is the culmination of the senses!
This section is up for 2 reasons: 1. I was kinda wondering who would take 1st post on this board and how long it would take. 2. I didn't want to have boards for just Episodes 1,4,5,&6. I wanted to have boards up for all six movies; even if it meant opening a board 6 years before it came out.
Send in the clones... don't bother they're here...
I know this might be old news, but here's something I heard a couple of years ago:
The working title for this one is probably going to be "Rise of The Empire". Any thoughts?
Thanks for the information about the title, Jedi.
Any time, Chuck.
Sorry, everyone... there is no working title for Episodes II and III. Georgo Lucas has stated that he hasn't even begun to think about the next ones and he is going to enjoy opening day off. He hasn'teven developed any titles.
I read in time also that this film will take place about 10 years after the last film, and Ankiken will be played by Pacey from Dawson's Creek (Insert foul oaths). Strangely all of the other charaters will just some gray hair to note the time change.
George Lucas says in TV Guide that the Dawson's Creek indvivual will not be invold with Star Wars at all.
Rumors are that Leo DiC. will play Anakin. Oh noooo!
For what it's worth (hopefully nothing) I recently saw on E! (the entertainment channel -- or maybe it was Entertainment This Week...) There's a rumor that Leonardo DiCaprio is slated to play Anakin in Episode II -- HOWEVER, they also said that this was not confirmed by any higher-ups in LucasLand.
Oh well. We can console ourselves with the fact that Leo turns into an insidious, evil monster. Wait a minute, that's just what he is now!
Anybody place any truth to the rumors that Boba Fett will turn out to be a female character. I heard this on Sci-Fi's TPM Unauthorized Preview program and I was wondering if anyone else has heard of this from a different source.
I think it might be kind of cool to have Boba Fett be a female character. We know Boba as a ruthless bounty hunter, someone we would almost immediately identify as male, and to have Boba end up being a woman would be a great twist of irony for the series. I'm also going to infer that because Boba Fett will be a definite character, we'll get to see him/her before they started the 24/7 body armor program.
Anybody else want to chime in on the idea of Boba Fett actually being a woman.
Also, any ideas for casting, my votes would be:
Male
Ben Affleck
Female
Katie Holmes
What are the rest of the board members' thoughts on these rumors and casting ideas.
Boba Fett turning out to be female would be a suprise and would put a whole new "spin" on TESB and ROTJ, but don't the comics and novels act like Boba is male?
Leo- excellent casting decision! It allows us to get an early start as disliking Anikin/Vader and cancels out the cute little kid factor of TPM.
(Note: The above paragraph was completely serious.)
As I understand, Jake Lloyd is already signed for the part of Anakin in Ep 2, but will not be in Ep 3. And about Fett, he's a guy. The books have spoiled that one. Would've been cool for Fett to turn out to be a woman, but alas, it can never be.
It hink people are getting the Mandalorians mixed up with Fett. The Mands are playing a big part in the second movie, since it is the whole clone war thing, we have all heard so much about. And the young Jake (I can't deliver my lines with any emotion) will not be in the second since it takes place like between 5-10 years later. Hollywood make-up is good, but not that good
You realize what'll happen. All of this gossip about who will play Anakin will lead Lucas the opposite direction and he'll end up hiring an unknown. Which is probably best anyway.
Guys, Fett speaks in "The Empire Strikes Back". Trust me, he's male.
Jedi- Leia talk out of Boushh's helmet in ROTJ. Sounds male, don't she? Yet we know the truth We don't for Fett.
I found this quote at starwars.com. They seem to thinking Boba Fett is a guy. The refer to Fett as "he" in the follwing sentance: "Fett succeeds in tracking the Millennium Falcon to the Bespin system, and he helps Vader capture Solo, and then brings the onetime smuggler - frozen in carbonite - to Jabba the Hutt."
If found this at http://www.starwars.com/characters/boba_fett/
I guess that's settled then.
Oh, that was a good point, Matt. Thanks for mentioning it.
Will Ewan McGregor return as Obi Wan Kenobi?
All of the actors from Episode 1 had to sign a 3-movie contract, so my guess is yes.
Does that include Neeson? Will we see a shimmery blue see-thru Neeson?
Perhaps. Hope so. Even Neeson doesn't know.
I have a message direct from a Lucas TV interview.
Natalie Portman and the Obi-Wan guy (can't remember the name) will both be back, without any make-up to make them appear older... the force will keep them young!
Jar Jar Binks, at this stage will not be back!
Darth Maul is a possibility - as a clone.
(He will turn out to be one eigth the size of the original Maul, and will be called mini-Maul)
Jake Lloyd (?) will not be playing Anikan, but the Leonardo Decaprio is not confirmed.
The second movie will be a romance movie, between Skywalker and Amidala, apparently.
Have no clue about Boba Fett.
Was joking about Mini-Maul. Darth Maul was short enough as it was.
Watch this space...
Leo Decaprio is not going to be Anikin in Episode ][.
He turned down the role because he read the script and he thought it sucked apparently. Rumor has it that he didn't like Episode 1 at all either. Oh well...I'm glad...although it kinda makes you wonder about the script..hmmm. I'm sure you people don't want [him] in the next film either.
(Moderator: I edited the above message for content, words like that are not to be used at Nitcentral.com.)
Personally, I don't have a problem with Leo DiCaprio as an actor, but if he were to play Anakin, I can just picture the number of girls, who are even sadder than warsies because they watch the film over and over because of *him*, adding to the already large amount of people who'll camp outside the theatre! The last thing we need is another "Titanic"!
So what if Leo doesn't like the episode II script he didn't like the first one which i thought was great.
I have a hard time believing that Lucas has already written the script for this movie and let Leo read it. He didn't let the actors in the first movie see any other scenes than the ones they were in so why would he allow Leo to see the script if he is just asking him to be in it and not give him a verbal synopsis.
I'm also very relieved that De Caprio is not going to be in it, but I heard that someone else who might be getting the role is (I can't remember his name) the actor who plays Scott Evil in the Austin Powers movies. I think he'd do a good job.
Another person who want it (again, terrible on names) is the actor who plays the middle child character in 'The Nanny'
I would like to see young Admiral Piett in this film. It would be nice if he flew and X-Wing-like craft (something similar to Anikin's yellow plane). Perhaps even give him a first name.
Is Admiral Piett the highly evolved fish?
Did everyone catch the impersonation of him in the South Park film?
I'm sure everybody caught the 'Yousa mean people gonna die?'
And the similarity between Cartman and the emporer with lightening coming out of their fingers.
SWEEET!!!
Was this a joke? Or do you really not know the difference between Admiral Piett and Jar Jar Binks?
No, there was an impression of Admiral Piett in the South Park movie as well as Jar Jar Binks!
Oh, ye gods help us!
Where was Admiral Piett in South Park? I must have missed that one.
It wasn't Piett, just an impersonation of him. When all the soldiers were being told about the mission, the General (or major - whatever) was walking around a holographic green globe, talking in a voice that sounded just like Piett. Then he shot Bill Gates.
The Jar Jar impersonation consisted of a guy standing next to chef saying 'Yousa mean people gonna die?'
I know about Jar Jar. That sent the entire theatre into fits of laughter.
Are you sure it was laughter and not rage?
I'm sure that was laughter. The rage probably was when Mr. Garrison said "I don't trust anything that...." oops this is a family board so I better stop there.
Jar Jar rules he should be in episode 2 + 3
Only as a stuffed trophy in Darth Sidious' living room.
I think that I heard somewhere that Jar Jar was going to be in episode II.
Also that he was going to have a movie of his own, due to his huge appeal to the kiddies.
Sort of like the Ewoks movie.
Think its safe to say he'll be in 2 and 3.
I just found out what an idiot I've made of myself. Not that I wasn't an idiot before, just that I am more of one now. Anyway, shutup me, I'm rambling.
Admiral Piett was not impersonated in the South Park movie.
IT WAS ADMIRAL ACKBAR.
The fish headed guy with the rebels.
Admiral Piett was one of Vadar's lackeys.
Sorry everyone. Really truely sorry. Can you forgive me?
I doubt that I can speak for all on the Jedi Council, but I can certainly forgive you, multi-midichloriana
multi-midichlorians, go to the Degobah system. There you will meet a Jedi master name Yoda. He will teach you the ways of the Force, and he will teach you how not to be an idiot.
I'm at the Dagobah system, but Yoda was here and died a long long time ago. I hate mud. I've learnt my lesson now, and will try to use my high level of midichlorians to do good. Can I go now?
Alright, break it up you two!
THAT'S, I'M TAKING MY POWERS TO THE DARK SIDE!!!
Just in case anybody's wondering, it's largely overrated.
Look, Ghost of Obi-Wan, if you want to retain any sort of dignity, then you'll back off when someone admits that they've made a mistake! You got that straight?
Thankyou. I will now take whatever shreads of dignity I have left and rejoin the Jedi.
I mean really, all I did was mistake a fish head guy for the lackey of Vadar. Honest mistake. They were both Admirals. Bygones.
I was just kidding about going to Degobah. I didn't think you'd take me seroiusly.
That doesn't really matter, Obi-Wan. Apprentice I may be, but I know that sarcasm doesn't come across well in posts. Or, in more Jedi-like terms, "Vague, the dark side is. Difficult to see."
At least I scored a heap of frequent flyer's points getting there.
Right...
Message for Ghost of Obi-Wan and Dr. Evil.
You're e-mail isn't working!
You might have to check your address.
I heard that Chewbacca will be in this movie.
If Boba Fett is as well, maybe we'll find out where he got those Wookie hair things as well.
Maybe Boba Fett killed Chewie's brother.
What Wookie hair things?
He has Braided wookie scalps on his right shoulder
Ewugh.
I'll never look at his outfit the same way again.
I'm hoping to make one for Halloween. I'm really starting to know all the little details.
Didn't you know that?
I thought it was common knowledge. I knew it, and I'm not even a big Star Wars fan.
What do Star Wars fans call themselves? Warisans?
Didn't you know that?
Well, obviously not, if I asked about the "Wookie hair things"!
You're just an apprentice, we will let you by this time.
Thank you, Master.
I thought Star Wars fans where called Star Woids. I just heard it somewhere and I don't think it's true.
Star Woids? I'm not even going to ask...
What the....? I'll ask it!
What is a Woid?
I have no Idea, But that's what the people in time magazine call us. It was in an article about Episode I and they called the fans Star Woids. I don't really get it either.
I have a question: how exactly is the release date of the movie a spoiler?
who listens to Time magazine? Thier probably just trying to get the term used so that they can claim the credit for coming up with it!
Unite against these egotistical big heads! Do not secumb to the Dark Side!
I swear that I will use my powers of the force to combat them...
No comment.
And you, oh Jedi Apprentice, shall be my young padawan. You have much to learn.
You'll get no arguement from me on that one. Just don't make me wear that braid, that's all I ask.
I'm afraid that's not possible. The braid is to establish that I am superior to you. I can't have you looking better than me!
I've got a huge amount of zits of my face, pal. I don't think you'd have to worry about me looking better than you. I was just kidding about the braid, anyway.
Humour is the path to the Dark Side. Humour leads to bad jokes. Bad jokes lead to bad comedians. Bad comedians... lead to to suffering.
Point taken. My sincerest apologies.
So does this mean that KAM is a Sith Lord?
I know this issue was wrapped up a long time ago,
but didn't all that new footage in the reissue of
Return of the Jedi show Boba Fett flirting with
Jaba's dancing girls? That, to me at least, would
indicate a certian level of maleness (I apologize
for flogging a dead horse but I couldn't resist
commenting)
The force is strong with you, Notv. But just because he was flirting it does not mean that he was male. It is a big world. You must learn to accept it. As with my Padawan, Jedi Apprentice, you have much to learn.
Matthew: Keep you voice down. Megan thinks I've reformed.
As for the Star Woids title, it sounds like they combined Star Wars and Droids to create a truly dumb name. It's been Star Wars fans for over 20 years, now why all of a sudden do we need a word? Star Warriors would be more fitting, but connotes a sense of violence.
I see there is a new menace seeping into the discussion board. His name is Darth Morgan. But I think I may have discovered his Achilles heal... this Megan...
IMHO, the jury is still out of Boba being a man. On the one hand, most movies and books seem to imply that Boba is male. On the other hand, ROTJ seems to imply that the Ubese bounty hunter that brings in Chewbacca is male. (It was Princess Leia in a good disguise.)
I read this in an Australian movie magazine. I don't know if it's tue and personally, I've never heard of the actor.
"Will or won't George Lucas continue his casting love affair with British talent? At the time f going to print, it was rumoured George has his eye on Robert Carlyle for a role is Star Wars episode II. Robert hasn't been short of work lately, having starred in Plunkett & Macleane and in the newest Bond adventure, The world is not enough, playing the villian Reynard."
Again there are rumors that George Lucas has offered LdC 40.000.000$ to play Anakin. Noooooo!!!!!!
And Kate Winslet will be playing Amidala, and Celine Dion will be singing the main title theme (NOOOOOO!)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is the way of the dark side!!
Robert Carlyle is apparently going to be Boba Fett.
For the posters earlier wondering about the returning characters:
1. Portman and McGregor both signed multi-film deals. I know Natalie will be in all three films but I'm not sure about Ewan.
2. Samuel L. Jackson will be back as Mace Windu, and make sure you're sitting down, he may have more than 2 lines in this one :)
3. Liam Neeson may be in the next two episodes as a ghost, a la Alec Guiness in ESB & ROTJ, but in a George interview, I think, Liam said he hated movie acting and would only do theatre work from now on, so who knows what he will do. After all, he's Irish, and we Irish men can be moody at times, but that's why the women love us ;)
Also, for multi-midichlorians(7/14), the actor who plays Scott Evil is Seth Green, who also plays Oz, the werewolf musician on Buffy:TVS. Although, it would be odd for Seth Green to take a role this large, as he has spent the majority of his film career doing small side roles, although they are usually roles that have a large impact on the film.
Some food for thought for everyone else to digest before I go to class today.
Pernill August has also admitted she will be back.
Liam Neeson later admitted he was "just having a bad day" and isn't really going to stop doing moves. Take everything like this you hear with a grain of salt.
Ewan McGregor also later made clear his complaint about the movie.
As for Alec Guiness's comments. Well I think we can put his comments up to a little bit of common sense (if you've seen Star Wars in the theater 100 times you really do need to never see it again.) A little bit of misquote. And maybe a bit of, how shall I put it? Well lets face facts, as we age the mind isn't as sharp as it used to be.
Is it true that Leonardo DiCaprio will be Bail Organa, the third member of a love triangle with Queen Amidala and Anakin Skywalker?
According to recent rumours LdC will not play Annakin.
Hey guys,
While surfing the net, I was able to find some info on one of the Anakin candidates, a relatively unknown Australian actor, Charles Taylor. Click here to find out some more about him. However, the site is dedicated to Natalie Portman, so there may be some bias in their selection of Anakin.
Also, here's a fun idea for an actor to play Boba Fett: Iggy Pop. He was good as a Vorta on Deep Space 9, now he's the baddest bounty hunter in the galaxy, what does everyone think.
Sorry but I screwed up in copying the link address in my last post. An easy fix is just to remove the final l, so the extensions is .htm, not .html,
HREF="http://www.natalieportman.net/forever/anakin.htm"> the new link. Apologizes again for any inconvenience.
Also, in regards to Iggy Pop, that was sort of my tag line/promo line so that's why it sounds kind of odd. But, I'm still curious as to my idea for Iggy Pop as Boba Fett.
This is the correct link: http://www.natalieportman.net/forever/anakin.htm
Charles,
Thank you for fixing the link for me. I tried to get it to go earlier, and tried editing a couple of times, but I couldn't get the Discus software to accept my HTML encoding.
This borad uses a diffrent type of encoding. (I havent seen it anywhere else.) RM, it might be a good idea to checkout the formatting link at the left of the page.
Rumor has it that Gillian Anderson is to play a member of the Jedi Council in this film. Any thoughts?
IMHO, it would be funny if they put some in-joke about the X-Files, such as "The Jedi are out there" or something.
A Jedi has to believe in The Force, doesn't (s)he?
It wouldn't surprise me if Gillian Anderson were in the film. After all, X-Files is a Fox production and Star Wars is put out by Fox, so obviously it would impress Rupert Murdoch, the head of Fox, if George Lucas was willing to put Fox actors into SW:II in an effort to boost their popularity. Of course if they go too far, by putting too many Fox actors into the shows, the plan could backfire. And, being that X-Files is ending after this year, or as has been rumored, Gillian Anderson would be free.
Since Leonardo DiCaprio is not likely going to portray Anakin Skywalker, I guess we'll be spared a scene featuring Anakin teaching Queen Amidala how to spit.
Will be filmed digitally according to Starwars.com.
Will Be a love story primarily according to Entertainment Tonight.
I hope we don't get a Empire Strikes Back Ending (Thought Expect it.)
According to this article in E! Online, Hayden Christensen will be playing Anakin in SWII and SWIII.
yes-it is official-there's an article about hayden christensen playing anakin at http://starwars.com/episode-ii/news/
I heard that stormtroopers may appear in this movie. We learn why droid armies don't work. It would be nice to hear a nice loud "Imperial March", IHMO, instead of the little tiny bit we heard when Yoda and Obi-Wan were talking at the end.
Does anyone know if Luke and Leia (as babies) will be in this one?
I heard that Jar-Jar will be in this one but at the time they didn't know if it would be a big role or a cameo.
It would be nice to see the Empire beginning to form.
Oh yeah, according to the book "Tales of the Bounty Hunters" Boba Fett is a guy along with every other bounty hunter in ESB. I think that I read in the Star Wars magazine that the white skinned lady with the red hair that was watching the pod races was a woman although I'm not sure.
According to Samuel L. Jackson at the MTV Movie Awards, Access Hollywood or ET interviewed him outside the awards when they were taped last Saturday or Sunday, they will begin filming his scenes in Sydney, Australia starting July 7th. I don't know if filming for others will start before then or if all the filming will begin in July. Also, George Lucas reportedly told Jackson that he will have fight scenes in this movie, so I'm guessing we'll have large Empire/Jedi battle scenes. Or maybe Lucas realizes that Samuel L. Jackson can do action from seeing Shaft, and will give him a bigger battle scene
Or a battle scene period!
WARNING: Spoiler Ahead
christopher lee is rumored to appear in eps.2&3 as a “dark jedi”! Better yet, he is supposed to SURVIVE THROUGH ep.3! As some of you may be aware, Lucas’ original plans for the sequels (7,8,and 9) were to have a “character frozen at the end of SW3” and re-emerge for 7-9 to disrupt the New Republic. Many speculations are that a jedi will be frozen in 3, and that would fit in perfectly with Lee living through the prequels. When they say frozen, though, I have no idea what that means. Carbonite anyone? But more importantly, this may be a sign that despite Lucas' statements, the sequels may happen. YAHOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU!
these facts have been dervived from theforce.net and the summer '97 issue of Sci-Fi Invasion.
According to the SW insider, Hayden Christensen is Anakin for eps 2 & 3.
That's old news.
nobody had bothered to put it up yet. sorry.
It was in the Jedi's sink under the Anti-Leo page
Didn't know that. I don't check a quarter of the stuff on this site; it's too big for me. Is there anything else I should know?
Jimmy Smits will be playing Bail Organa.
Initial photography shooting has just wrapped up, so now it'll be postproduction till the movie comes out in 2002. It seems like such a long time, let alone having ot wait till 2005 for the third chapter, but it'll be here before you know it.
http://www.starwars.com/episode-ii/news/2001/08/news20010806.html
The title of this page has been changed to reflect new information from the above link.
Attack Of The Clones? That was the best title they could think of?
True, 'Send In The Clones' would be too goofy, but why not 'The Clone Wars'? (Ok, maybe the repetition of the word Wars might be a bit much, but I think they could have done better.)
Sweet merciful cr&p...
I remember people complaining that "The Phantom Menace" sounded too much like a horror movie's title, and now Lucas makes an even worse mistake with "Attack of the Clones" - a title that sounds like it came straight from a cheesy fifties B-Movie.
Why do I get the horriying impression that Ed Wood has been reincarnated?
Attaaack of the Killer Clones!!!! Tears of a Clone! Insane Clone Posse! I'm going mad, I tell you, mad!!!!
Anon: I saw those on the AICN, too. (Aint-it-cool-news.com) Anybody who thinks we're rude and intolerant here, should read the talkbacks on that page. Brutal!
Who-hoo! We'll be back, and we know now exactly what film to riff next!
ATTACK OF THE CLONES????? Wha... what the h£ll???
*Buries head in hands*
Maybe it's a joke.
So is it still a working title or is it final?
I laughed out loud when I heard the title today on the Jim Rome Show. I couldn't believe that it was the title, or that Rome's topic had anything to do with Star Wars.
>So is it still a working title or is it final? >
Unknown, it is probably final. When I see something irrefutable, I will adjust the top of the board.
My first thought about the title is that is sounds just like a badly done FOX special. "When clones attack."
Apparently, Ewan MacGregor really hates the title too. I agree.
Then again, the title "The Empire Strikes Back" wasn't exactly awe-inspiring in itself, especially considering how awesome that film eventually became. I mean, the potential for comedy was also great: The Umpire Strikes Back, The Empire Strikes Them In The Back, The Empire's Back on Strike, etc.
[runs away to become more powerful than you could possibly imagine...]
C'mon, we can think of some better titles!
How about:
Cloney Dangerously
When Cloney Comes Marching Home
Clone Alone
Psyclone -- Attack of the Twisted Replicant
A Cloney Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
I Scream Clone
(some of these I heard already, but I want credit for that last one)
If one of the clones is named George, would that make him George Cloney?
If one of the clones is a female singer, would that make her Rosemary Cloney?
If one of the clones is a reporter for the local Empire News Station, would that make him Nick Cloney?
If one of the clones has funny looking red hair and a white face, and a big red noze, would that make him Bozo the Clone?
If Dan Aykroyd was to appear, the film shold have been called "Cloneheads".
And of course, the best title of all: The Clone Ranger!
The Guns of Navaclone?
What a horrible, horrible name for a movie! I hope Lucas changes it like he changed "Revenge of the Jedi" to "Return of the Jedi".
KAM, 'The Clone Wars' is much better.
Given the choice between Clone Wars and Attack of the Clones, I'd sure pick CW.
Killer Klones From Outer Space?
The Army Has Two Faces?
They Keep Killing Theed?
An Army of Thousands, But Only One Actor Gets Paid?
Tears Of A Clone?
The Clone Conspiracy?
(Actually, I kinda like that last one. ;-)
How about Frank Wars: Episode Frank: Frank Of The Franks?
How about Cloneanza!
Star Wars II: The Undiscovered Clonetry (or The Wrath of Clone)?
Raiders of the Lost Clone
Clones in Black
At this rate, Episode III may as well be called Star Wars: Resussitation (sp?)
(anyone who's seen the "Alien" saga zingers by "Mad" will know what I'm talking about)
At this rate, Episode Three may as well be called "Dark Lord of the Sith Ate My Hamster"... 
Obi Wan Kenobi and the Temple of Clones
Stay tuned for scenes from the next installment of "When Clones Attack" ...
I suppose "Attack of the Clones" is better than "Attack of the 500 Jar-Jar Binks Duplicates"
(I don't want to even imagine that one!)
I liked Rise of the Empire myself. I wish they'd kept it. 
Rise of the Souffle?
I'm surprised no one mentioned this yet.
Star Wars: Episode II: The Sith Shall Rise Again!
A little long, but otherwise not bad, KAM.
Another title....???
"The Sick Sith's Six Sick Sheep VI"
As the Force is my witness, I'll never be poor again!
MISC....
"Panickin' Anakin's Attackin' Mannequin"
"Darth's Darn Dark Dart Darts in the Dark"
"Jar-Jar's Ajar Jar Jarred Jar-Jar."
The Attack of Richard Roeper
If you missed Richard Roeper on Ebert & Roeper he was talking about boring sequel titles, then comments on how people on the internet were complaining about Attack Of The Clones, then made a Shatnerian Get-A-Life comment only without the humor.
Why if I didn't spend 25 hours a day on the web, I'd punch his lights out.
Great KAM, throw your credibility out the window. Or would that be out the airlock, to you?
Of course, do any of us really care about the opinion of a man who gets paid to sit on his butt all day, watching movies?
When did I get credibility?
Geez, nobody tells me anything.
Personally I could never figure out why Ebert picked Roeper. I though Harry Noels was a much better co-host. (Maybe Roger was worried Harry would get to the snack counter first?)
Attack of the Clones: The Saga of the Final Years of Spider-Man.
I couldn't believe this title when i first heard it. It sounds like a title to a bad 50's B movie. ATTACK OF THE CLONES
I wish they kept Rise of the Empire. It sounds more noble and has a kind of sinisterness to it also. Attack of the clones just sounds cheesy
http://www.melonpool.com/d/20010819.html
Oh you lucky people. (I'll let you decide if that's good luck or bad luck.)
The Late Show website was having a Top Ten contest, Top Ten Rejected Titles For the New Star Wars Film.
However in the middle of last week they moved to a new website & the new site wouldn't accept my submissions.
So here are some of the rejected title submissions I didn't get a chance to make:
To Boldly Go Where No Droid Has Gone Before
Dude, Where's My Speeder?
Lots O' 'splosions!
Blowing Stuff Up
Amidala's Death Star Of Style
SFX! SFX! SFX!
Meg-
They couldn't "keep" Rise of the Empire because that was never the title of the film. Plus it would have confused fans who were familiar with the fanfic prequel stories. Finally, I would think that it would open Lucasfilm up to legal troubles as the author of that particular work steps forward to claim his share of the pie for supplying the title (not that titles can be copyrighted, but that would not prevent a lawsuit).
Anakin Skywalker: Intergalactic Man of Mystery (May the Force Be With You, Baby!)
Oh, behave...
Attack of the Clones
Just think about how many Time, Newsweek and USnews articles are going to be called Attack of Clones due to the cloning research! Free publicity.
NOTES FROM OTHER WEBSITES: (SPOILER ALERT)
* Anakin & Amidala will marry at the end.
* Amidala will escape an assassination attempt at the beginning of the movie
* Yoda will handle a light sabre & kill off a bad guy near the end....THIS I GOTTA SEE!
* Boba Fett will DEFINATELY be in this movie.
* Anakin's mom will die...prompting great anger within Anakin.
* C3PO will have his gold plating late in the movie.
Forgot some:
* Jar-Jar will be the new representative of the Gungan people.
* Amidala will be SENATOR instead of a queen...um...isn't that a demotion?
* A lot of Redshirts...er...Jedis will be killed.
* Anakin will get a robotic arm after losing his original arm in a light sabre duel.
ET showed the preview a few days ago & one shot appeared to be of Boba Fett flying.
From what heard. Probably not true. The last scene of the film is of Anakin and Amidala kissing as a caravan of some kind heads off into the desert at sunset.
In reference to what, Adam?
Sorry. Maybe I'm being dense but I don't understand the question.
What do you think isn't true?
That the last scene is of Anankin and Amidala kissing as a caravan heads off into the sunset.
I'd like to see that. It'd be a nice ending that'd lead up to the next movie in which we see a 9 month pregnant Queen Amidala...The Force tells Anakin she'll have twins and they will have the Force within them at birth which'll prompt Darth Sidious (AKA Senator Palpatine) to lure Anakin to the Dark Side and order him to kill his own kids at birth. Obi Wan, of course will stop him at the lava pits which will result in the origin of Darth Vader
Yes, but in RTOJ, Vader didn't know Luke had a sister. If Anakin knows Amidala will have twins, wouldn't he remember it as Darth and realize Luke must have a sibling somewhere? And wouldn't Palpatine know it as well?
That said, I like the idea of Anakin and Amidala kissing as they head off into the sunset. Sort of a fake happy ending, setting up what's to come in Ep. III.
Honestly the more I think about it the more I come to doubt the whole 'volcano' theory. Mind you it might be a molten pit of some kind, but I doubt a volcano will be involved. Why you might ask. Heres why. Everytime the Sith and Jedi have fought it has been in a 'technological' setting. Obi-Wan and Qui-gon fought Darth Maul in the reactor room. Obi-Wan fought Vader in the Death Star's hanger. Luke fought Vader in the carbon freezing chamber. Luke fought Vader and Palpatine in the thrown room. Its one of the reoccuring themes. Just like the good guys are 'organic' and the bad guys are mechanical.
Will you settle for a smelting pit?
I'll buy that
FOR SALE: ONE USED SMELTING PIT!
Smelting is the Pits. ;-)
Of course, if he does fall into a smelting pit then Anikin's last words can be, "I'm smelting! I'm smelting!"
He could fall into a huge arm pit. 
(Deodorant, anyone?)
Obi-Wan: Anikin has fallen into an arm pit!
Amidala: Send in the Right Guard.
Urge to kill, rising... DARK SIDE AT PEAK!!!
More Alt. Titles...????
Maul's mauled by moths at the mall.
Hand Han the ham.
Look, Luke! Luck Lakes! Lick and Like!
Lay Leia's lei in the lee in the lea.
More alt. titles....?
Dali Lama- Amidala
Padme's padded panties.
Panaka's Banakas and Bananas.
Hearken! Barkin' Tarkin is markin' the parkin'.
Yo! Yoda's yo-yo yodels!
Geez...my titles are better than "Attack of the Clones!"
Well, I saw the preview for this at Harry Potter. It looks like a pretty good movie! However, I'm going to do the same thing that I did with The Phantom Menace (which I enjoyed), and not get my expectations up. Couple of questions though.... Did anyone happen to see Anikin's lightsaber, and was it the one that Luke got in ANH? Secondly, didn't JarJar seem to be standing like a mature being in that quick shot of him? A new and improved JarJar (I hope)? Also, I got some strange looks from those around me when Anikin and Amidala are flirting in the field because I laughed out loud. Amidala was wearing the Leia Bun!!
Lastly, I don't know where else to put this, so... In the first season of The BlackAdder, the princess is named Leia.
Lastly, I don't know where else to put this, so... In the first season of The BlackAdder, the princess is named Leia.
Of Hungary. She is very young indeed. Maybe about ten.
Doesn't Amidala sound like a part of the brain? [It's AMYGDALA, you fool - everyone in the know]
Merat, the sneak-preview poster displayed on starwars.com (the one with young-man Anakin and "Leia-Bun" Padme [or is it Amidala?]) shows Anakin with a lightsabre [or is it lightsaber?], presumably his own one, glowing in the background, of a sort-of rusty golden-red colour. Which is different, of course, to the one Luke was given, which was light-blue in glow (actually, it seemed more like white in ANH) yet was told that it belonged to Anakin. Maybe old Skywalker constructed several lightsabers? [lightsabres??]
Does Amidala really have Leia's buns? Meesa gotta see theesa movie!
Oh, and by the way, according to starwars.com, the man [or is it woman?!] in the spacesuit in this film will be Boba Fett's father, Jango Fett... who was also a bounty hunter and previous owner of Slave I. He will be played by someone called [looks up website] Temuera Morrison.
Saw a picture of Bail Organa [not Antilles] as he appears in the forthcoming Episode 2. Reminds me more of that pretemtious g*t Darius from the UK version of "Popstars", if you ask me. Hope he doesn't break into his own idiosyncratic version of "...Baby One More Time" in this movie....
Apparently NSYNC (or some other lookalike boy band) will be appearing in a scene as Jedi Knights.
One can only hope their scene involves them dying painfully. ;-)
Actually a funny thing would be to have NSYNC & Backstreet Boys playing clones of each other & fighting to the death. (And there was much rejoicing.)
A while ago I read an article that said that Lucas' daughter was a fan of No Doubt & this got them an invite to watch filming of a scene from Episode 1.
Now a boy band is appearing in Episode 2.
I guess the lesson is if you want to appear in Episode 3 make friends with Lucas' daughter.
This will thankfully be a very quick cameo, them in the background, main characters in the foreground.
I wouldn't mind some long slow gory shots of N*Sync getting killed!
I hope NSYNC won't be *singing* in the film.
Don't temp me, Spectre...
Long slow gory shots of Lucas' daughters favorites boy band getting wasted in a STAR WARS film??? Yeah, that'll happen. NOT!
No they won't sing. They won't even be credited. They are extras.
I'm sure Dark Horse will make a comic of them tring to save their "leader's" (Jus-Tin) girlfriend. Said journey will end with all six dying a horrible death, but not on film they won't.
Star Wars is a family film. Is it really such a horrible thing to toss something in for the little ones? I think not. I would even put it to you that if this is such a terrible thing maybe you need to ask yourself if you're REALLY a Star Wars fan. Maybe on openning night you should consider staying home and watching the directer's DVD cut of "Aliens."
Putting people in background cameo is nothing new. In Star Wars Ep I Sofia Coppola (director of the Virgin Suicides) and Roman Coppola had cameos because both are children of Lucas family friend Francis Ford Coppola. Warwick Davis (ROTJ Ewok, and Willow star) cameo'd in the pod race.
Supposedly, Peter Mayhew and Mark Hamill had cameos as aliens, but I have no idea where.
N'Sync has been cut out of the movie!
With a light saber?
And there was much rejoicing.
Cut out of the movie with a lightsaber by an elite hacker?
I doubt that NSync's part has been cut out of the movie. The fact of the matter is that their part in the movie was no big deal. My understanding is that were just going to be extras in the background of a scene. They weren't going to be a part of the Jedi Council. They were background extras. Joey's phone call to the radio show sounds more like him having enough of people making a mountain out of a molehill, so he "announced" that they've been cut. Truth is, they probably weren't. And then the movie will come out and someone will notice one or two of the boys being slaughtered in some great Jedi battle (much like the E.T.s snuck into TPM) and we'll all realize that this wasn't a big deal at all. Lucas fulfilled some boyband's (and his daughters') wet dreams. Big deal.
That creates a new title for the movie....
"Star Wars....N'Sync Sunk in the Sink"
Other alt titles....
Ma Bell goes on a rampage..."Attack of the Phones"
DeForest Kelley's ghost attacks..."Attack of the Bones"
Good Humor goes on the warpath..."Attack of the Ice Cream Cones"
10,000 Jar-Jar Binks declare war...."Attack of the Moans"
N'Sync changes their mind and will sing a terrible song...."Attack of the Tones"
Princess Leia's vs Queen Amidala's hairstyles: Attck of the Scones
Even MORE alt. titles...
A man with a bullwhip goes berzerk...."Attack of the Indiana Jones"
A bunch of unidentified people make war...."Attack of the Unknowns"
A tank made up of green geometrical shapes makes war...."Attack of the Battlezones"
Mick Jagger & his group riot against the Queen..."Attack of the Rolling Stones"
A bunch of people in pain revolt...."Attack of the Moans"
A bunch of bankers try to get the Queen in unfathomable debt...."Attack of the Loans"
KAM goes berserk with his puns: "Attack of the Groans"
Episode 2 - George had better...
- Put Jar Jar in the background, FAR in the
backround.
- Iron out the kit clashing on the CGI characters
some of the droid, gungun interactive scenes were baaaaad.
- Improve the hokey dialogue.
- Get the Star Wars Theme music into movie, Ep 1 was sorely lacking (QuiGon melting the blast door, Ani/Vader leaving his mother).
- Include a space battle with ADULT characters.
- Clear up this whole Midichlorian nonsense.
Don't get me wrong guys, I loved Ep 1, but make no mistake that a lot of people walked away dissapointed.
More alt. titles....
The air on Naboo goes bad..."Attack of the Ozones"
A marching band of brass instruments invades..."Attack of the Trombones"
1,000 Macaulay Culkins invade..."Attack of the Home Alones"
Let's not forget..."Attack of the Xylaphones"
Southern Fried Food attacks... Attack of the Corn Pones
Sterile male bees invade Naboo... Attack of the Drones
A bunch of old women invade... Attack of the Crones
A herd of reddish-brown horses infest Naboo... Attack of the Roans
Section 31 invades... Attack of the Sloanes
What did you all think of the trailer for this movie. I thought it looked awesome.
TUE'S THOUGHTS:
1. I'm assuming that the stormtroopers are the clones. That is great. It explains why we never saw any with their helmets off. They're probably all disfigured or something.
2. We see the Imperial Star Destroyers for the first time.
3. Apparently, Chancellor Palpatine creates some kind of Republic Army to combat the threat of the Separatists. I'm wondering if the Separatists are the good guys or if they're the bad guys. Which group will turn into the Empire and which will turn into the Rebels? ONLY TIME WILL TELL!!
4. Yoda looks more like he did in Empire Strike Back than he did in Phantom Menace.
5. ObiWan has a beard! ROFL!
6. No sign of Jar Jar.
7. THIS MOVIE LOOKS AWESOME!!!
8. Once again, THIS MOVIE LOOKS AWESOME!!!
See ya later

Here's the headline from foxnews.com.
Lives Urged to Be Gotten
Sci-fi geeks queue weeks before new Star Wars movie opens
I'm sure that if there was an equivalent word to "Trekkies" for Star Wars fans, they would have used it there.
The word "geek" never appears in the article, and one person interviewed is a martial arts instructors.
IMO, all the fuss is about who will be first to see this movie. I am perfectly content waiting until the second or third week. My son and I did that with "Phantom Menace" and walked right in.
BTW, I saw "Star Wars - A New Hope" its first day out in May, 1977. The film was playing in only 25 U.S. theaters, and I still walked right in, no line. The theater was only half full for a mid-afternoon screening. I tried to see it again at the same theater a month later, and I could not get in - it was playing to a packed house, even though it was a very hot summer day, and the air conditioning in the theater had broken down.
Seeing EP I on opening day was not as hard as most people figured. I worked in a theater at the time. Most of our shows sold out about a half hour before showtime, but we had it on so many screens you could just get a ticket for the next show. It was like that old joke "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded". For that first week everyone was comming up the the box office asking "give me a ticket for whatever show is not sold out" and I'd say "None of them are, take your pick."
test
Apaprently Ewan "Crieff Boy" McGregor is really looking forward to this movie, more so than his "enthusiasm" for TPM.
And here are my nominations for alternative titles (I know this thread is getting a bit old, but I don't care):
Rolf Harris is caught on holiday in Australia while filming the next SW episode, in: "Attack of the Stylophones"
Anakin succumbs to the dark side of punk music: "Attack of the Ramones"
An army of cloned gangsters attack the Republic: "Attack of the Al Capones"
Anakin suffers the pains of the Dark Side via inflammatory bowel disease: "Attack of the Crohn's"
An army of cloned mobile phones attack the Republic: "Attack of the Ringtones" [it's funny cos it's true]
And one last one:
Momentum in the Clone Wars is temporarily slowed down due to taxation of war funding by Jedi Master Gordon Brown MP, in:
"A Tax on the Clones!!!"
Just saw a pic from this movie, Queen Amidala (Padme) exposes her navel...and boy, does she look HOT!!!!!!
Natalie Portman is a very beautiful, petite young woman.
Just saw a pic from this movie, Queen Amidala (Padme) exposes her navel...and boy, does she look HOT!!!!!!
Yes, she does look really hot and bothered, wearing all those clothes....
I'm beginning to see why love is forbidden among the Jedi...
Just saw a pic from this movie, Queen Amidala (Padme) exposes her navel...and boy, does she look HOT!!!!!!
I was browsing through the official web site yesterday, to find the front page was totally revamped - with a HUGE picture of Padme in her skin-tight white gear, blaster in hand, with THAT navel exposed. Speechless was I. Speechless.
Other tidbits:
- Put Jar Jar in the background, FAR in the
backround.
Apparently Ahmed Best and Antony Daniels will be playing additional background parts in addition to Jar Jar and Threepio. In this month's "Empire" magazine, Daniels expressed his delight in his being in a cameo as a pilot or somebody flanked by two tall, attractive girls, in a sleazy bar scene (the action focused on Obi-Wan, of course).
The mag also had an interview with Crieff Boy himself - he has a really dirty mind.
But what Crieff Boy said about Obi-Wan and the true parentage of Luke and Leia could be true... from a certain point of view.
Two weeks to go!
OK. It's speculation time. Place your bets now, please. And don't say I didn't warn you. (If there's a board for speculation about AOTC, Mr. Moderator, please transfer this post to it. Otherwise, enjoy...)
My new "friend", Darth Consignia, and I have been thinking about what sort of surprises GL may have up his sleeve as regards AOTC. Here are some thoughts as to what could happen:
1) The subtitle may not be called "Attack of the Clones" after all. It may be one big and expensive practical joke on us all. (Then again, it's not as if he's strapped for cash or anything.) Only time will tell on May 16th...
2) The ending. Now this IS pure speculation, but I wonder if there will be a happy ending with everyone reunited etc. I doubt it. If the parallels with ESB are anything to go by, from what I've seen from the trailers, I reckon at least ONE major character will be absent from the rest of the good gang. My money's on it being Anakin (another parallel to the ending of ESB) and the transition period will mark further time as he succumbs to the Dark Side with his encounter with Count Dracula... I mean Dooku!
3) And just to add further fuel to the speculative flames, I wonder when it will be announced that Padme is carrying buns in her oven? I reckon this will be strongly hinted by the end of AOTC, with some line such as "increased midi-chlorians in her bloodstream" or something. If nothing else, it will add tension to the end, and even ask the begging question which Darth Consignia keeps asking me: who is REALLY the father? OK, so we all know who it really is, but who knows, she may prefer men with beards, or then again it may hint that the mice will have *played* while the Crieff Cat's away - but as this IS a family flick, this is probably the least likely of the predictions.
Who is to say what will happen? Even I don't know. We all know how tight-lipped everyone was about THAT line in ESB, so given that, anything is possible...
Remember that this is PURE SPECULATION. No more, no less. (But I would be privately happy if I were to be proved right on May 16th on at least one of these thoughts. )
I've heard a rummor that the ending will parallel ESB even more than that. One rummor is that the flick will end with Aniken getting fitted for an artifical hand, and looking out at the stars with Amadala.
The hand is no rumour: I saw an official handbook that showed a picture of Anakin's hand. Maybe he gets maimed earlier than we thought?
Re: Padme with buns in her oven. I don't know how the creators will get around this one if it is established at the end of this film. After all, the expectation of babies suggests pregnancy, pregnancy suggests conception, conception suggests sex, and sex suggests a PG certificate at least.
And after all, who is to say that Luke and Leia's mother WILL be Padme?!
May the 4th be with you!!!!!!!!
I don't know how the creators will get around this one if it is established at the end of this film. After all, the expectation of babies suggests pregnancy, pregnancy suggests conception, conception suggests sex, and sex suggests a PG certificate at least.
All the other movies were PG as well, as I recall, so I see no point behind bringing that up. Anyway, I agree that this will be touchy, given Lucas' stance on a lack of gratuitous sex, but I'd imagine he's thought of some interesting way to imply it. A passionate kiss before a dissolve can suggest the "before", and the previous suggestion of Padme being testing for higher midi-chlorians would bring together the "after".
After all, who is to say that Luke and Leia's mother WILL be Padme?!
From everything we've seen so far, I don't know why Padme WOULDN'T be their mother, but considering how much of a shock Vader's identity was when ESB came out, who is to say that Lucas won't throw a twist into the works?
All the other movies were PG as well, as I recall, so I see no point behind bringing that up.
All the other movies were Certificate U (for Universal), as far as I remember.
considering how much of a shock Vader's identity was when ESB came out, who is to say that Lucas won't throw a twist into the works?
Then again, considering Vader's revelation in ESB and the parallels between that film and what AOTC may turn out to be, and the growing bond between Palpatine and Anakin as suggested by the trailers, wouldn't it be weird if.... no, it can't be... it's impossible, it has to be coincidence, they couldn't be....
Could they...?
Given this idea of mine, (I don't know if others have come to the same conclusion, or if they have, they wisely haven't admitted it yet) what was said about Anakin in TPM could still ring true..... from a certain point of view. (Shmi wasn't that sure, to be honest...) [Then again, I have only seen TPM once.]
Well, I've already declared what my theory is in a nutshell on another SW board here, so there's no point in milking it further...
Hmmmm. I feel so silly. Seems I'm not the only one who thought up these theories over the last few days. We all think alike?
"Obi-wan never told you what happened to your mother."
"well... no, he didn't."
"Luke. Its a funny thing. After we buried your grandmother and your step-grandfather was out rounding people up; Owen, Beru, Padme and I were sitting around drinking. One thing led to another... What I'm saying is either Padme or Beru is your mother. And either Owen or I am your father. I'm still not sure. Everytime I think back to that night all I hear is porn music and the line "swing your partner round and round."
Ok time to nitpick. At the end why does Jango Fett fly into action for the seperatists? I understand he feels no loyalty to the Republic. At the sametime I don't see why he feels any loyalty to the seperatists. If I where him, an immoral bounty hunter, when the Jedi landed I would have grabbed Boba and gotten out of town. Infact it was the Republic, via the cloners, that were setting him and Boba up for life. Good way to think that one thru Fett, next time try not losing your head. (insert rim shot)
The man from Del BBC, he say "YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!"
Sven: 2) The ending. Now this IS pure speculation, but I wonder if there will be a happy ending with everyone reunited etc. I doubt it. If the parallels with ESB are anything to go by, from what I've seen from the trailers, I reckon at least ONE major character will be absent from the rest of the good gang. My money's on it being Anakin (another parallel to the ending of ESB) and the transition period will mark further time as he succumbs to the Dark Side with his encounter with Count Dracula... I mean Dooku!
Luigi Novi: I don't know if you want to know, or if you are just speaking casually and don't wish to know Sven, but if it's the former, read on: SPOILER WARNING: After chopping off Anakin's hand (gee, why does THAT sound familiar?) in the saber duel at the end of the movie, Yoda engages Dooku, and kills Dooku. If you want me to go further and tell you what happens to Jango Fett, read on....Mace Windu gets into a laser pistol/light saber duel with him, and chops Jango's head off. The last scene has Anakin and Padme marrying, with Anakin sporting a mechanical hand, paralleling the end of Empire Strikes Back. END SPOILER WARNING.
Luigi, I deliberately didn't read your spoiler in your last post - I quickly minimised the window so that I can reply. I was speaking casually when I posted those big speculations all those days ago... I've honestly no idea if those speculations are correct or not. I think I shall see the film for myself and see how it goes. [sticks fingers in ears and sings loudly, running away and attempting to blank out all memory of ever being here]
By the way, the Sunday Times today also gave the film a fairly favourable review, but then again the reviewer was a self-confessed "Star Wars agnostic" and had to mention the script, "dubious" casting choices and Ewan McGregor's "poor" Alec Guinness impression. Other than that, he reckons it's better than TPM.
Anther title:
It turns out that the Clonetroopers all have devices that notify them of unimportant messages...especially when driving...
"Attack of the Celluar Phones"
"Another title" (sorry)
Oh, there was another title based upon a rejected premise:
The Sith Lady Darth Rosemary and her nephew apprentice Darth George begin an entertainment rampage against the Jedi in:
"Attack of the Clooneys"
John A.: "Attack of the Celluar Phones"
Yoda: "On train I am. About to enter tunnel am I. Hmmmmm... breaking up your signal is....."
mA th 4s BwthU!
Jedi Master: All the other movies were PG as well, as I recall, so I see no point behind bringing that up.
Me: All the other movies were Certificate U (for Universal), as far as I remember.
I think in the UK the new film WILL be a PG rating, probably because of the massive battle scenes as suggested in the premiere (and probably not because Padme and Anakin may "get it on").
Fair enough.
I dunno how to make red text here, but oh well.
SPOILER ADENDUM

Luigi - Dooku doesn't die.... he returns for Episode 3. One of the last few scenes has Dooku reporting to Sidious.

To make red:

Could someone please move the posts with proven spoilers, i.e. actual evidence of plot developments, to another page so that we the unenlightened can remain so until we get to see the latest instalment of the increasingly inaccurately-named Star Wars Trilogy for ourselves?
Thank you.
Yes, someone could move them. I choose not too, because since the title is Star Wars II any one who hasn't seen the movie and dosen't wan to see spoilers shouldn't read this board.
More alt. titles...
Thousands of sword wielding French women attack the Republic..."Attack of the St. Joans"
Thousands of people who feel inclined to attacking wage war..."Attack of the Prones"
Thousands of stones used for sharpening knives engage war on Naboo..."Attack of the Hones"
I'd recommend writing the spoilers in white after announcing them with a few words to fool the "last day".
Uh, guys, I put spoiler warnings around the spoilers. Just skip over them. My stuff has as much right to be on this board as anyone else's. It's not like I made the spoilers without warnings, like some people did on the boards for the first three Harry Potter novels, when mentioning stuff from subsequent novels.
Electron, that's actually a brilliant idea, using "\white". It would allow people to not accidentally see spoilers when reading or posting. The white text is hidden in NitCentral, and to see the whole message, you'd need to select the blank patch below using the mouse, as I'll demonstrate below. Select the blank space below and you'll see a message:
FED UP WITH BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!!!
Ahem. This sort of thing could be open to abuse, but it is very useful when posting actual spoilers.
And while there's still time left, here are some alt-titles for old time's sake:
Anakin has a bad feeling about Padme's new perfume in "Attack of the Cologne"
... and the sequel where Padme orders more of the stuff... "A Tank of Cologne"

The 70s rock opera of the prequels: "8-track of the Clones"
Now they're going into cyber-warfare! "A Hacker of the Mac Clones"
Ewan McGregor reprises his Trainspotting role in the new film: "A Smack of the Clones"
The new film runs out of its budget in "A Lack of the Clones"
The clone makers try their hand at breeding poultry such as duck: "A Quack of the Clones"
and last but not least, a possible plot spoiler but I have no idea, I don't read these things anymore... and it's in white, so double-click the space below:
A possible plot spoiler? "Anakin of the Clones"
I don't even know if it is a spoiler anymore.... I give up, I'm going to bed.
The new film will be made up entirely of child actors. It will be called "Attack of Bugsy Malone"
Even clones make a mess of themselves sometimes... "A Napkin of the Clones" [watch it - everyone]
The clones become old, alcoholic, mad and monosyllabic in "A Jack Hacket of the Clones" - DRINK!

An entire club soccer team from Holland make a guest appearance in "Ajax of the Clones"
The film will only be shown in special large cinemas! YES! It's "IMAX of the Clones!"
The sequel to the film where Kevin Spacey plays a psychiatric patient who believes he's an alien - "K-PAX of the Clones"
The film will be a big disappointment to all - "Anticlimax of the Clones"
George Lucas will be living up to his B-movie title by featuring giant spiders in the film - it's "Arachnids of the Clones"!!!

Somebody already did the perfume one, but the German name for the city of Cologne is Koln, with an umlaut over the "o". So...German cities from various parallel universes form an alliance to attack the empire in...
Attack of the Kolns.
And don't forget, there really was a movie called Killer Klowns from Outer Space. So Lucas could do the Killer Klones...
Pain-killer pills implanted with artificial intelligence computer chips...
Attack of the Doan's...
Anyway, I had a serious nit for the movie.
I haven't been looking at the publicity or the spoilers much, so I don't know some of this...I've been assuming the clones are all soldiers, all clones of one person, getting ready for a massive battle.
And "The Far Side" had a great cartoon once, "Night of the Crash-Test Dummies", where the dummies come to life and take revenge... I wish somebody would make that movie!
If they can make clones, they can probably genetically engineer them. Soldiers would have to go into many different environments, so they would need a variety of different physical features. Either they can be given the ability to change their appearance and features (so they don't need to be clones) or individual soldiers can be given different features in the first place (like adaptation to heat, cold, altitude, low oxygen, etc.) so they don't need to be clones.
I suppose they can use one person as a template and then give each soldier the ability to adapt to heat, cold, etc. But I don't know if that would be easier than making a variety of different clones for different environments. And can the same clones adapt to the surfaces of places similar to Venus, Mercury, Neptune and Triton?
Could Anakin use the Force to allow himself to survive all those environments? Could he survive the surface of a red dwarf star?
Are the clones all soldiers? Are they all clones of the same person? Or are they clones of ten or twenty different individuals? If they don't clone some of the obviously non-human aliens, why not?
*Obviously* I haven't been reading the spoilers, I hope nobody's annoyed...
The lack of a health care plan comes back to haunt the republic in "A Pox of the Clones."
Due to the large size of this board (289 posts) and the arrival of the movie (12 midnight tonight), I have decided to close this board and open a post movie board. May the force be with you.
