Those are bizarre.  And it just occured to me that both LaForge and C3PO have
electronic imaging systems.  Creepy.

Almost seems more like a troll.

The title "The Phantom Menace" has always bugged me -- the wording seems
pretty silly / trite.

I think the wording is supposed to seem like it's named in the genre of the old
Saturday afternoon serial movie, even if it does sounds like an episode of
Scooby-Doo. And, those words might be accurate. Much science fiction and
fantasy has rather tritely named stories anyway.

Hmmm...  Lesse...

Star Trek episode one was "Star Trek: The Motion Picture".  Acronym,
"ST:TMP".

Star Wars episode one is "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace".  Acronym,
"SW:TPM".

This is way too close to be coincidental.  I thought Lucas was supposed to
burn out *after* these new movies are in the can.

Why, you're right! They both have acronyms. This just *can't* be coincidental.

BTW, I thought the word THE was not supposed to count in acronyms unless a word
was spelled in the process.

when replying, note there is already an acronym in spamcake.
