Ooh. And, indeed, aah. George Lucas may not have revealed the title of Star Wars Episode III just yet, but he has hinted that the title is out there in a public domain. Speaking to USA Today, the beard behind the magic was asked to clarify the title of the forthcoming final chapter of the Star Wars saga. He flat out denied it was Rise of the Empire (thank the Maker), but smiled coyly when Revenge of the Sith was put to him. "That's a possibility," he said. "Lots of titles out there." Indeed there are. You may remember this from a month or so ago, when we asked Empire readers for their top tips for the Episode III title. If Revenge of the Sith is indeed the title, that's all very nice (and full circle - Return of the Jedi, the corresponding instalment in the original trilogy, was originally entitled Revenge of the Jedi), but have you guys inadvertently hit the nail on the head? Is it, for example, Fall of the Jedi? Stop! Or My Padawan Will Shoot? Or our personal favourite, Star Wars Episode III: Greetings From Belgium? We'll find out in November, when the first trailer for the last outing of Anakin, Obi-Wan and that Binks fella hits.
