Phantom Menace
Ghostly lurking danger
Phantom Menace is the title of the 1999 Star Wars film, the first of the prequel trilogy.
The phrase itself means a threatening force that proves illusory or nonexistent—a danger that looms but isn't quite real.
Outside Star Wars contexts, it's used for any hyped threat that fails to materialize: The Y2K bug turned out to be a phantom menace.
