Yoda Is Your Father said:Janskeet said:I think it is a cool title and probably the most clever thing Lucas thought of in the prequels. I remember when I heard it back in '98 when I was 10, I was like wow, The Phantom Menace, that sounds cool. At the time, I didn't even know what "menace" meant.
Really? When I first heard it (I was 18 or so) I thought it was sooooo cheesy. Then the next one was called Attack of the Clones amd I just thought 'oh, fuck this'.
"Attack of the Clones" really is taking the homage-to-corny-old-serials a bit too far. Homages should never be done done at the expense of quality. I think there's a lot that sucks in the prequels that's there because Lucas wanted to imitate something from way back, like the style of the AOTC romance and Palpatine's awful ROTS makeup.
