EP III to be called "Birth of the Empire", and other crap.

Star Wars fans in a lava

By THOMAS WHITAKER

THE long-awaited final Star Wars blockbuster will be called Birth Of The Empire, movie insiders have revealed.

And the highlight of the space epic will be a thrilling lightsabre clash between Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) while surfing on LAVA.

The Hollywood source said: “Anakin and Obi-Wan fight on platforms on the lava. They control these like surfboards.”

The sixth movie in the series also features Anakin’s transformation into evil Darth Vader and his baby son, Luke, being smuggled to safety to the desert planet Tatooine.

The source added: “There’s going to be a big announcement soon. They’ve tried lots of titles but the most popular is Birth Of The Empire.”

The news has already caused excitement among the legions of Star Wars fans monitoring the film’s development on the internet.

Star Wars: Episode III is due out next May.

Well, there goes the hope that EP III may be remotely decent. Surf on lava? What moron thought that up? Couldn't we, just once, have a really dramatic fight scene without some gimmick? C'mon, fighting amongst small erupting volcanoes could have been incredibly intense, ala ESB's ending fight sequence, Luke VS Vader. Narrow canyons, lava pooling on the ground, and the Master and his Apprentice locked in a to the death fight. I could see some really good scenes coming from that. But no, we have to surf on the lava, because Jedi can do anything. Sheesh.

You forgot to mention "spoilers" in your post.

The only thing that could be called a spoiler would be the surfboard part.

I hope some how in some way it turns out great. But here's a long shot to George.

I cling to the hope that what I posted is really a fabrication by a dubious journalist desperate for ratings.

A wise man once said:

"I'm going to go eat a sandwich and think about how I'm going to take my own life."

I shall follow his advice.

Remind me to go over George Lucas's house and personally kick his ass.

Seeing how this hasn't been posted on any other major news website, or StarWars.com itself, I believe it to be a farce.
