    I'm fine with the title. Now give us a teaser trailer!

    It's interesting that they are using the word "Jedi" again. Before now, all the words in the titles (except for "the", "a" and "of") had all been unique*. It kind of sounds like a title for the last movie, so now I'm really curious what Episode IX will be called.


    *Caveat that the 1983 film was at one point called "Revenge of the Jedi", though that was changed to "Return" pretty early on.

    You won't be surprised to hear that there was a whole article on that on Yahoo news today. And I read it, naturally.

    I haven't read the article but am wondering if the red is a nod to the red Return of the Jedi logo back in the day.

    Was it in red? I thought "Revenge Of The Jedi" was but didnt think "Return.." was.

    Has more mystery to it. I never have been a big fan of the collage SW posters. Some of the fan made and foreign posters are better imo.

    I've got a giant replica version still in the poster tube. Gotta find the time and space to put it up!

    I wish it had been "Revenge" and not "Return". That attitude of "softening" things is also the attitude that brought us Ewoks and Jar-Jar Binks!!

    I almost posted the Revenge poster! Somewhere around here I still have the embroidered patch the Star Wars fan club sent me in 1983 that says "Revenge of the Jedi." I remember being disappointed by the title change, but it does make sense within the context of the story.

    It wasn't about softening the title. Revenge is the antithesis of the Jedi philosophy. Jedis don't seek revenge. That leads to the dark side. "Return" is far more appropriate. It was the return of the Jedi in more ways than one. Luke becomes a Jedi and Anakin returns from the dark side and fulfills his destiny by bringing balance to the Force.

    I admit, I like that one. I remember seeing Yoda and thinking "Who is that?". Darth looming in the background. You just knew it was going to be great!

    I wish we had that kind of assured attitude about 8.

    Yeah, it would have totally went against the hero aspect if Jedi's.



    Gawd we are total nerds :laugh:

    I remember reading the ESB storybook, and when Yoda tells Obi-Wan "there is another", I couldn't wrap my 6 year old head around that.

    Once the poster or trailer for 8 comes out, you will. You will!

    Giant posters and brand new trailers are no match for a great movie..

    I remember going to the cinema just to watch the trailer. It was exciting. A shame how it ended up. o_O

    Oh yeah. Regardless of how the movie was, that's one of my favorite SW images ever.

    There is always a push/pull within a Jedi between dark and light. "Revenge" or "Justice", is there a difference?

    Yes. Yes we are!!
