Remember when all the kids got killed, and Aslan turned into Jesus, in C.S. Lewis's The Last Battle?

yes, for all you who didn't know, this movie should be set in the time of the clone wars. so the title makes sense, even tho it's a bit wimpy ;)

"Revenge of the Jedi" wasn't a ploy; the name was changed at the last minute. There are extant movie posters which read "Revenge". Highly valuable among those who have too much extra money and a love of Ewoks...
