Its good to see that many people are taking my suggestion that Darth is a good guy seriously. However, I no longer believe in the clone theory. There are two good reasons why it is colon (short for colonial.): First, the classic theme of independent, hardworking good guys being threatened by the heavy evil central government makes good watching. Second, the two Star Wars films we have seen before, ( and previous films by Lucas,) are fantasy. Not hard Science Fiction, but Fantasy. Clones do not make good fantasy. How do you explain this stuff to the general population? Still, the turn around of Darth to a good guy, now that's fantasy! chas (..!decvax!cwruecmp!honton)

I'm afraid I still have one very good reason to believe it's "Clone Wars" instead of the increasingly popular "Colon Wars". In the original novelization of Star Wars, the term "Clone Wars" is used quite frequently. Yes, I know novelizations are generally completely different from the films on which they are based, and this one is no exception. But this one was written by George Lucas himself.
