According to his card in this set, Darth Sidious was the Phantom Menace. All these years, I thought Darth Maul was the Phantom Menace that the movie was named after. No wonder I haven't liked anything Star Wars did since the Ewoks cartoon. I didn't even know who the movie was about!

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

That's interesting. I always thought young Anakin was the Phantom Menace, because nobody knew what he'd grow up to be.
And the awesome poster too...

It would be easy to miss if you didn't follow it.
The title makes sense as soon as you figure out Senator Palaptine/Darth Sidious is the one who is the Emperor in the original trilogy.

I probably knew that he was him. I just wanted Jar Jar to die and he didn't. The only things I remember liking in the Episode 1-3 was Natalie Portman, Darth Maul, the podrace, General Grievous, and Natalie Portman. I don't like Jar Jar, Yoda, or Hayden Christensen, and I didn't understand the whole clone thing with the Boba Fett kid. I'll stick with Ewoks and Wookiees and Jabba The Hutt.

LOL that is too funny ............ why ........... I just watched all the movies with my family for the first time over the past four days. Two a night. We went with 4,5,6,1,2, The Clone Wars, 3 and finally The Force Awakens .......... we are going to go see Rogue One on the weekend. =D It was fun and my wife was actually into it and was happy she finally watched them .......... my six year old not so much.
David, I always thought the Phantom Menace meant Palpatine/Sidious/Dark Side/Empire ...... and I like your likes exactly as you say, your dislikes are not perfect (j/k) but at least Jar Jar is at the top. He'd be something I would swerve at with my car ..... looks like a frog with ears. =O

The Phantom Menace refers to the plot Palpatine puts into effect causing the Clone Wars with the Trade Federation and therefore giving rise to him becoming Emperor.

I think my dislikes are perfect. I hate Yoda. I like Jabba the Hutt's band though.

Rogue One was awesome. Didn't care much for TFA, liked EP I to EP III a lot more.

TFA was gut ripping as I felt it just stole alot from the originals too much, bigger weapon that does the basically the same and same end result, why change the planet from Tatooine to Jakku, we all know its suppose to be Tatooine Abrams!! =/ The list goes on for us "Legends" boobs. Disney has no time for us now that they are in for 6 billion. Really Ben Solo ......... we "Legends" people all know its Jacen Solo and Ben Skywalker. =( But nice try Abrams. I better stop now before I waste an entire afternoon.
At least Rogue One is locked into the original cannon to some extent as it is dealing with content Abrams himself has said is the "new" cannon. For that reason alone I am more interested in it than TFA and its spawn.
