I think the new name blows and I dont really know what to make of this flik now but I think if this is the title it's supposed to have the same value of surprise as the Ep.1's title was "The Phantom Menace". I mean who really understood why Lucas would go from "A New Hope", "The Empire Strikes Back", "Return of the Jedi" (names that have that epic value to them), to "The Phantom Menace". The title wasnt self explanatory like the rest, it was just weird.

What Im trying to point out is that IF this truly is the name of VA5 then I believe the shock value of the name is a subtle and obscure refernece to Star Wars. It's a 2 for 1 deal similarity in title and similarity in shock value.

Is shock value a good term?

Peace Out,
Mike
