5. Who Or What Is The Phantom Menace?
"Menace" isn't a word your hear much these days, given that it's 1998 and not the 1950s, so I think I speak for fans everywhere when I say, "What is going on with this title?" Of course,

Star Wars movie titles unless they were a tad corny, but this one certainly takes the cake. That's to say, what is the
Phantom Menace, exactly, and how does he or she fit into the story? Is it a young Darth Vader? Is it something we've never encounter before? What we can derive from this, though, is that the character is going to be an especially important one, given that they've been included in the title.
