    why was ep1 called tpm? never really understood.

    As the posters below have indicated, the title refers to illusory threats versus real threats.

    It's about the Sith revealing themselves to the Jedi.

    The Republic thought that the Trade Federation was the menace, when in reality the Sith were. Hence the "Phantom" Menace.

    The Sith were the Phantom Menace(s) looming over the Republic and the Jedi.

    It isn't. It's The Phantom Menace. It shows a looming evil or something to come.
