Meanings of "The Phantom Menace"

Come now this is not a humor thread. Let's let the thread topic be discussed seriously.

 

Those are all good ones. Honestly. Espcially yours, Doodoo

 

I think that "Phantom Menace" could also be a bit of foreshadowing on Lucas' part. I could also mean that the things that ultimately undo Anakin--his attachment and unwillingness to let go and adapt to change--are things that we don't necessarily thing of as "bad" per se. Things that could have been seen as normal or "quirky" at worst in other situations were the things that would in the end make Anakin so dangerous seeing as he entered into the lifestyle of a Jedi where unstable elements that make life so rich and joyously unpredictable elsewhere are simply dangerous traits for a Jedi to have since they are so hard to regulate. So what feelings you thought were innocent and boyish and normal were in fact what would undo Anakin later on. Just a thought. All the other explanations have been good as well.

 

Dude, haven't you realized I've been banned about 6 times, the last one for 2 weeks? You've got your wish repeatedly, and you don't even know it. So don't worry about it.


I was just stating that Carnage had pretty much exhausted all the ways you can see a "Phantom Menace." There's no reason to go overboard and see things that aren't there. It gets silly.
