USA Today uncovered an unexpected STAR WARS scoop straight from the films' creator, George Lucas. While attending a charity event that raised money for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Lucas was spotted by the USA Today reporter and asked when the title of the next STAR WARS film would be known. Lucas replied that it would be known in November when the first teaser trailer would also appear, but rather than leaving the discussion at that, he added that fan websites had already guessed what the title was.

The reporter then asked if RISE OF THE EMPIRE was it, but Lucas said no. What about REVENGE OF THE SITH? Interestingly, the director simply smiled and said "That's a possibility. Lots of titles out there..."

Could it be that our scoop that we first reported last year is correct? Will the title of the final STAR WARS film really be EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH?
