And while it was call "Revenge" ST-II was to be titled "The Vengence of
Khan."  Lucas, fresh from the success of the Paramount film "Raiders of
the Lost Ark" whispered in Paramount's ear that the names "Revenge of
the Jedi" and "Vengence of Khan" might clash.  The Star Trek people
gave in, changing "Vengence" to "Wrath" and then Lucas didn't use his
title anyway.
