Surely, this could be consigned to the already existing Star Wars thread? I'm sure they'd appreciate it.

Finally thought of a poll that tickled my fancy. And despite the fact that of them is not actually a movie title, the objectively best title in the history of existence has been included at the bottom of the list.

Don’t be silly, The Phantom Menace is 4th from the top, not on the bottom.

Ah yes, Jeedai are my favourite star wars persons.


Knights of the Eternal Throne is a pretty fucking good name, but The Last Jedi sounds cool, so does The Phantom Menace, ive always liked that name despite finding the movie very meh with a few good moments and some pretty bad ones.

Yeah, if this were for quality or favorite movie, I wouldn’t be choosing TPM. But as far as names go, I think it’s the best.

. . . oops. I didn't intend to leave "Jeedai" in like that. This is what happens when you've read the Yuuzhan Vong series too much.

The Last Jedi and The Phantom Menace are the best movie names imo. Knights of the Eternal Throne is a good name for some thirteen year old's fanfic.

If we're doing EU stuff, then Knight Errant is kind of cool. There are countless others I'm sure that just aren't coming to me.

So I just saw the Avengers: Infinity War for the first time, and every time I saw this one dude, I couldn't not think that he looks almost exactly like a Yuuzhan Vong.

It's definitely not the best of the movies, but Phantom Menace is a pretty BA name.

Also, as far as the movies themselves go, The Phantom Menace is better than Attack of the Clones, The Force Awakens, and The Last Jedi Jeedai. Fite me.

He's mixing together the OT explanation for Force powers and the biological explanation we saw in the Prequels.


To be fair, there was also biological explanation in the OT, as well.

You're wrong. Clearly, the most badass title is "Untitled 9th movie".

No thanks, i have no interest in this haha

I'm a glutton for punishment. I've seen both of the Ewok movies three times each. Burl Ives' narration makes me feel like I'm watching the Star Wars version of Frosty the Snowman :P

Attack of the Clones is better, but I agree with you on TFA and TLJ.
