And they'll have financial participation in future Indiana Jones films, so their logo is going to be on them whether Disney likes it or not.

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 How would an added Disney logo affect the existing Paramount transition though? It's not like the Fox fanfare and logo ever overlapped with A long time ago... In fact there's significant moments of black screen silence between the two parts.

But the two companies did partner on Dragonslayer (plus Par's deal for Avengers and Iron Man 3), so it's been done before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,027 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 I've always felt the same way about Attack of the Clones. It's trashy, campy and... quite memorable. Very much in the spirit of the saga. That's what I like about it. I really appreciate Lucas' gut to go with this, instead of some boring Rise of the Empire/Light of the Force/Way of the Jedi type of bullshit. Star Wars (ridiculous name on its own) should have pulpy and silly titles.Same reason John Carter should have of Mars at the end.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,056 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Just as I did with the prequels, I try to keep in mind how campy and silly all the films' titles have been. Think about them - really think about them. Star Wars. (A New Hope.) The Empire Strikes Back. Return of the Jedi. If you actually parse what the words mean instead of just listening to their beloved, familiar sound, they're pretty ridiculous. I don't say this to deride the films...I think the titles are part of their charm. Just something to keep in mind moving forward. In that light, I don't even think there's a rational argument to be made for the prequel titles being out of place. They're nothing horrible like "The Dark Knight Rises." "An/The Ancient Fear" would certainly fit the "article - adjective - emotional noun" structure we've seen in the first films of the existing trilogies. No idea whether this is actually legit, though, and of course things could still change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbellamy 6,329 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 "The Empire Strikes Back" is probably the corniest of the six, by today's standards. If they announced a similar title for VII, people would tear it apart. It's like one step removed from "Luke Saves the Day." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,056 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Agreed. It's a title that would be impossible to take seriously, yet the film is probably the most beloved of the six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,489 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 See, I don't get the criticism of The Empire Strikes Back as a title. It still sounds awesome to me. The Phantom Menace is a weird title because I associate the word phantom with Phantom of the Opera or Billy Zane in purple spandex. But it's also not that offensive. The only really shit title is Attack of the Clones. It sounds stupid and literally the attack of the clones never occurs in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,027 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Clones actually attack in the final act. "The Dark Knight Rises."That was a very disappointing choice of a title. Even though it literally ties to the plot (and Hans' chanting!), I can't think of any less imaginative follow-up. Call it Gotham City or something like that (well, now we have Gotham City...).Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbellamy 6,329 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 See, I don't get the criticism of The Empire Strikes Back as a title. It still sounds awesome to me. I think it's awesome because the movie's awesome. You can't take it out of context, it just brings to mind all that great imagery, dialogue, sound, and music, making you forget that there is really no other variation on "______ Strikes Back" that doesn't sound lame as hell.

nightscape94 965 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Clones actually attack in the final act.The titles of the other films at least give a broad description of what the film is about. Attack of the Clones makes it sound like it would have at least something to do with the central plot of the film, or even provide a pivitol moment. Nope. The movie is certainly concentrated on clones, but going in I thought it was about the clones rebelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,027 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Yeah, I know.You could argue that Palpatine provoking the Clone War was one of the most important elements, though.My point was that at least the title is striking (pun not intended) in one way or another. You'll remember it.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brown 91 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 All of the STAR WARS titles are somewhat goofy, but can be justified with the argument that they're based on serials from the 30s, which often had similar titles.ATTACK OF THE CLONES and PHANTOM MENACE are probably the worst, though.
