Star Wars: New Script, New Titles

For those following my Reboot the Prequels project, Episode II is available to read now!

Hit that hyperlink, go to the landing page, and check out Attack of the Empire.

Attack of the Empire

And if you’ve been following along, you might have noticed I changed the title of my Episode II. Originally, it was going to be called The Dark Lord of the Sith. I’ve also changed Episode III from Fall of the Jedi to Return of the Sith. Why?

The titles changed between drafts. As A New Menace was born of a portmanteau of The Phantom Menace and A New Hope, so too is Attack of the Empire a linguistic blend of
Attack of the Clones and The Empire Strikes Back (while Return of the Sith sits between Revenge of the Sith and Return of the Jedi).

I felt these new titles more clearly stated my goal: Return the Prequel Trilogy to the tone, feel, and world of the Original Trilogy.

Interested? Head over to my Reboot the Prequels page and check it out for yourself.

Oscar Excitement

In case you missed it, I’m hosting an Online Oscar Pool. You should get in on that.

The Big Day is this Sunday, and I’m excited. I’d like to share a little bit of that excitement with you.

First off, this is probably the funniest (and most adorable) Les Mis parody ever. Check it out:

 

Then we have some incredibly well done fan-art of the best picture noms by Jason Adams.

Amour
Argo
Beast of the Southern Wild
Django Unchained
Les Miserables
Lincoln
Life of Pi
Silver Linings Playbook
Zero Dark Thirty

So… What’s your favorite poster? I love the way the title in Django is a chain being “unchained”and how the Life of Pi title hides seamlessly in the tiger’s stripes.

Anyone else out there excited for the “Superbowl of the Cinephiles”?

Don’t forget to submit your picks before 5:30 pacific time on Sunday, Feb 24th!
