Yup, filing a warning...

As you wish.

Good to see assholism is still alive and well after the banning of Nactous. 🙁

No, I disagree, I think it refers to Anakin, and his growing fate to fall to the Darkside. After all, if you see the teaser it makes perfect sense.

If you watch the movie, the sense is even greater...

No, it refers to Anakin.

How does it refer to Anakin? The titles of the Star Wars movies refer to what happens in the movie...

A New Hope: Luke, the new hope, takes a large step into the Universe and brings hope to the Galaxy
Empires Strike Back: The Empire squishes the Rebellion at Hoth, the bad guys win this movie
Return of the Jedi: the Jedi return
Attack of the Clones: Clones attack
Revenge of the Sith: the Sith get revenge

In Episode I, Anakin is no menace, or in the background.

However, Sidious and Maul are.

I lean mostly twords what Rex said about this one... (Sorry Nac but I do). Sidious and maul are the minaces, and they both are unknown, their threat is phantom-like in the sence that noone knows the true threat, untill Maul revels himself to Qui-Gon. Allthough Nac also makes sence, Anakin is doomed to be Vader. His threat is also phantom like in the sence that his future is unknown to the Jedi, but he becomes a great threat in the years to come. so It could refer to either, but I think it refers to the Sith mostly.

*sigh*

Darth Sidious is the menace.

And he's dead. Ghost = Phantom

Sidious is not dead!

Yes he is. He is a ghost. That's why he can fly.

youpi

Because he is the phantom of a menace to come. It's forshadowing.

Btw, thanks Jac, what reall help you re. 😒

Hey, I don't have to agree with you all the time. I think only George Lucas Knows... but every one does make sence.

The sith being an unknown danger.
anakin being a future conqurer.

I think It talks about both.

Jac isn't helping you, Nactous; he's not a flunky. 😛

I'm pretty sure it applies to Sidious.

Nah I am pretty sure it is the sith in general, and possibly a set up for Annakin's future.

Sith, Sidious.

ANAKIN. Not Annakin, not Anikin, not Anikan, ANAKIN.
