They're not trying to sound cheesy necessarily, just Flash Gordon-ish. Lucas likes to use the names of the stuff that inspired Star Wars in the actual movies. Most of the character names come from old myths and stories that inspired him, the name "Jedi" comes from the word "jidai-geki", which is the term for a Japanese Samurai drama. All of the movie titles harken back to the old sci-fi pulp serials that inspired SW, and the title scroll is directly pulled from the old black and white Flash Gordon show. Star Wars is sci-fi/fantasy serial updated. So in conclusion, no YOU are stupid!

But, seriously, I have to go with "Rise of the Empire".
That last one I made up, could you figure that out? :D
