(...) I think so too. It resembles the cross-section picture on the web. BTW, according to the cross-section page, the Sith Infiltrator is supposed to have a cloaking device - perhaps this accounts for the title "The Phantom Menace"? --- Terry K -- (25 years ago, 13-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Um... Its been confirmed by Lucasfilm and as far as I know, they're not gonna pull the trailers again, so The Phantom Menace it is! Besides, I kinda like the name. :) Jeff (25 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Ummm, the title is final, and it's referring to Darth Sidius, the known, yet unseen force of evil. As for the lame-osity of the title, SW4's title was "A New Hope". And see how well it did? \(^_^)/ (25 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well, I don't think "Menace" is all that bad of a title. It grew on me. And as for "A New Hope", that was added _years_ after the initial release. Star Wars was a mega-box office smash just as Star Wars. But yeah, it does sound a little lame. (...) (25 years ago, 15-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) All you have to do is look at all the old advertising material. It all says "Star Wars" period. Good question as to when. I saw it originally, and I remember seeing it again at a theatre for a special engagement. I don't recall if it was an (...) (25 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

I could remember very well that the original episode 4 was released with a bare and naked name of "Star Wars". Actually, I first saw the name "A New Hope" when during my first sessions through the net. When the revised trilogy came in, it was on the (...) (25 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)
