SAN DIEGO, California (AP) -- The final "Star Wars" prequel is just "Episode III" no more. Lucasfilm announced its new title Saturday: "Revenge of the Sith."
The movie, set for release in May 2005, will link the prequels with the original "Star Wars" trilogy by showing how Luke Skywalker's father, Anakin, went from a sweet-natured slave boy to the galaxy-crushing villain Darth Vader.
The Sith is the evil sect that corrupts Anakin (played by Hayden Christensen) by drawing him into the dark side of the Force, the cosmic power that balances the universe.
Lucasfilm announced the new title at the annual Comic-Con International, the annual gathering of tens of thousands of sci-fi and superhero fans.

Wow! That's excellent. Reminds me of Jedi, a little. Revenge of the Sith, Return of the Jedi... Well, I can't wait until next May. I am going to take off of school just so I can be the first person to see it. When Attack of the clones was released, I actually won tickets to see a 6:30 A.M. opening day showing. My entire school was so jealous.

I remember going to the first Star Wars film. We happened to be in line with a couple of family friends of ours. He and his wife were almost fanatical about the Star Wars series to come.
He remarked something like, "This series of movies will change our lives over the years ahead."
Within a few years David became a judge, and every time I thought of him in that dark robe, I thought of the role Darth Vader might have played in him making it to the bench!
Star Wars has been part of our family culture since Episode IV.
Not sure it changed us...but it was a part of us. I still have a Star Wars sheet remnant that I now use for painting tarp! Does that count?

You're right azskyman! Star Wars was definately a turning point in how movies were created and produced. I remember watching the first one in total awe of the graphics and special affects back then. They don't compare to what we have now, but it's still great.
