I understand this guy's frustration with the title. After that turd Phantom Menace, maybe he's just afraid we're in for it again. I hate all this "it's just a movie" talk when it isn't just a movie! Here's the issue. Lucas made a movie for us when we were kids and it spawned a sub-culture all it's own, and now, in this fan's opinion, he's not catering at all to the people who put him where he is today. The ones of us who bought every toy, every incarnation of video release, etc. How can we help but feel a little betrayed? I completely understand this guy's feelings about this. Phantom Menace was just a plain lousy story  with some crappy characters, lame dialogue, abuse of cgi, etc., and this guy along with many others, is probably expecting the worst, and really would like something better than this "it's just a movie-Saturday morning serial" slop. Surely there is a more ominous and appropriate title for this supposedly darker and more serious film. I'm afraid that we can only expect more lame titles, story, etc. The old trilogy was made by a young artist who, I believe, cared about a decent story. This next trilogy is being made by a fat old billionaire, the Phantom Merchant.
