star wars:episode2

[on:]

the offical title for episide 2 has been announced: attack of the clones.
(sounds like a title for a futurama-episode to me.)
anyway, i hope that the movie will be good, 'cause the title is a little bit too "action-driven" in my opinion.
so i think we will see the clone-wars and how anakin will turn into the evil, darksided darth vader!!!! (huraaaaayy for vader).
what do you hope to see in ep. 2?

[Reply #1 on:]

They have to build the story over 3 parts. I have heard that Ep2 will be concerned mainly with the Clone Wars (G'uh, now) and the development of the relationship between Anakin and Amidala.

i think they need to show us how the old republic will be blown to pieces and the rebellion starts. the myth is that there will be a lightsaber duell between obi-wan and anakin in which anakin falls into a lavapit and in case of his wounds he needs his suit to survive. i think anakin will be seduced to join the dark side in episode 2 and that he will be darth vader in episode 3. palpatine on the rise, vader on his side and the whole universe on fire, that would be great....all hail to the dark side!!!

star wars episode two has to be when he joins the dark side becuse episode 3 going to show you how he hunted down all the jetis

But then that would ruin the continuity of the series, because for anyone watching the films in order (i.e. 1-6), they have to maintain the revelation in 'Empire' that Darth Vader is in fact Anakin. It is a series you know, and Lucas would be mad to mess this up in the prequels. I wouldn't put it past him though on recent form.

What a craptastic name.  I mean, you go from A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi to The Phantom Menace (Which incidently is a pretty good name) and Attack of the Clones???  George, baby, listen, you're killing the best sci-fi series ever with this sudden movement towards kids.  Seriously, "Attack of the Clones" sounds like a Junior Jedi Knights book.

Blech, I agree. Geez, why not call it "Send in the Clones"?

[Reply #10 on:]

Really, what's episode 3 gonna be?  Ani's Dark Adventure?  Ani Gets Angry?

[Reply #11 on:]

I heard that there would be Anakin Falls in Love and Anakin Falls.  Now I'm confused.  Attack of the Clones?  That's so stupid, I think I'm going to cry.

IF ANYBODY HAS ACTUAL INFO FROM THE MOVIE, PLEASE USE THE SPOILER FEATURE!

i don't think this info is worth a spoiler.  i heard from the news that it will be out late spring next 2002.  they gave a month but i don't remember it.  i'm sure you can find it at any fan site. 

[Reply #13 on:]

Last i heard.. Ep 2 was focused mostly on Ani's relationship with the queen..

I agree its a stupid name! maybe Star Wars - Clone Wars.. even thart would be better!

[Reply #14 on:]

Personally, I think Star Wars Episode Two:  Jar Jar Dies a Horrible, Horrible, Slow Death would be best

I think that also answers what I'd like to see in Ep2 . . .

[Reply #15 on:]

This doesnt say much.. Just a friendly artical from MSN about EP2

Show spoiler

The big news was made public Monday on Lucasfilm's official Website, www.starwars.com,  and it finally puts a moniker on what was up to this point referred to only as Star Wars: Episode II.

Attack of the Clones is due in theaters next year. And if you think the new title sounds more like the sequel to Mars Attacks! or some Saturday matinee, Lucas apparently wanted it that way.

"It harkens back to the sense of pure fun, imagination and excitement that characterized the classic movie serials and pulp space fantasy adventures that inspired the Star Wars saga," Lucasfilm says in its announcement.

Lucas's latest prequel, which was shot using digital cameras, fast-forwards 10 years after the events in 1999's Episode I: The Phantom Menace. This time around, 20-year-old Hayden Christensen stars as Anakin Skywalker, who's turning into an accomplished Jedi (but not yet Darth Vader) as an apprentice to Obi-Wan Kenobi, played once again by Ewan McGregor. Natalie Portman also returns to her role as Queen Padmé Amidala.

Shooting on Attack of the Clones began last June in Australia and wrapped last September--ahead of schedule--in London.

Naturally, Monday's announcement was greeted with the same fanfare that comes with every other shred of detail concerning Star Wars--plenty of Web chatter and geek-like analysis about Lucas's decision.

"It's a great title. Fun, short and sweet," wrote one anonymous moviegoer, replying on one of Star Wars' many fan sites. Others weren't so pleased. "I'm hoping it's an official hoax," one posting read. "He's got to be screwing with us."

Stars Wars fans have always kept a close eye on the films' titles, starting with 1977's A New Hope (although the original Star Wars didn't get that additional title until later) on through The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi (which stirred its own name-game debate when Lucas originally planned to call it Revenge of the Jedi) and The Phantom Menace.

It will be released in May.

i think the whole magic that made the first star wars trilogy so good is now being destroyed by the new trilogy. episode one wasn't that good movie we all expected, sure i liked it big time the first time i saw it on the internet but after watching the movie in cinema i was not sure about it anymore. the phantom menace is such a kiddys-movie, with jar-jar and the gungans battle the droids, the pod-race, anakin builds c-3po (come on, of all droids in the whole universe he must build c-3po   !!!) and so on and on. i am afraid episode two will take this step further, although lucas said that episode two will be more "darker". i will surely watch this clone-attack (cause i'm a sucker for star wars) but i will keep my hopes for this movie as low as possible.

[Reply #18 on:]

I will post in defense of the title. It's not great, but come on...I haven't heard any fan titles that sound better.

 

I heard that there would be Anakin Falls in Love and Anakin Falls

 

Star Wars - Clone Wars

Come on, doesn't anyone realize how awful these titles are? You can't seriously think they are better than Attack of the Clones, can you? "Clone Wars" sounds boring and redundant. Why not just call the movie "Star Wars: War Wars of the Warring Wars"? Don't get me started on "Anakin Falls/In Love"...ugh.

I could pull a better name out of my... Hey hey!

How about... "Star Wars, Episode 2: Shadow of the Dark Side"

I think it would be lame as all get-out if Anakin turned to the dark side in AotC(I'm trying to get used to that title/acronym). What would be left for episode III? It would just be pointless Jedi-killing. Sure, it's dark and violent and would make the idiot teenager fanboys happy, but would it make a good movie? Would it make sense and fit in with the other five movies? Hell no.

There's a scriptment thingy at theforce.net. I think AotC is shaping up to be swell...it's darker and has less kiddy crap(except for maybe the Boba Fett thing, but I think that whole deal will be badass up on screen). All the Jedi type stuff seems badass as usual(even though Return of the Jedi and Phantom Menace had some gayness, I have never been let down by the jedi knight-related scenes/plotlines), the plot is good, and the new villian guy sounds cool as hell.

Of course there are things that worry me, but considering just about everything worried me when I read Episode I spoilers, it's not too bad.

The arena scene. It sounds a little too gladiator-ish. I wish Lucas would have written it in a more scifi-ish manner.

Romance--I read some dialogue from one of the "romantic" scenes. Sounded awful. I don't care how good Hayden Christiansen is, nobody can save lines like that. What's the point of hiring Jonathan Hales if the dialogue still sounds this bad?

Yoda fighting. This could be a huge disaster. If they can't get it to look good, I hope they have the good sense to just cut it. I can't think of any truly horrible fight scenes Lucas has shot though, so this doesn't worry me too much.

Okay, I just read one of the spoilers above and I couldn't help but laugh.  Yoda fighting?  Yoda does not fight.  He sits in the council room on Coruscant or in his cave.  And how can you get a 24" puppet to fight?  That's like having Crow and Tom Servo square off.  It doesn't look realistic at all.  Whoever came up with that idea, should get a dose of reality.

Thanks. Now I'm obsessed with seeing Tom and Crow fight.

yoda fighting????
well, he is/was thejedi-knight of his time...so he must have some fighting skills like biting the opponents balls!!!

We made fun of the movie title over at the Springfield Message Board. Whatever the title, I hope it'll be better than Episode 1. This new trilogy seems to me like they're butchering the classic Star Wars universe. I compare it to the feeble attempts to recreate Woodstock or the Chevy Impala. Twice around ain't just as good.

Alternate titles? How about:
"Clone Wars"
"Anakin and the Cloneasaurus"
"The Clone Collector"
"--untitled--"

I personally like Star Wars Episode 2:
"We're sorry about that last one"
"We're REALLY sorry about that last one"
"Please forgive us for that last one"
Or
"I swear, we'll never do something like that again."
