Wow, you’re really knocking these out and one after the other. Imagine having to wait almost 20 years to watch this one.

Kevin Cavanaugh

Can’t wait to sit down and binge watch these with you

I remember when it was announced that George Lucas was ready to release the prequel movies to the OG Star Wars Trilogy. I was so excited…at the time these movies were my absolute favorites. Knowing that I was going to learn how it all began, and see how my favorite characters were introduced into this universe…I was stoked! And then The Phantom Menace was released, and I felt let down. I didn’t hate it, but it was not what I had built it up to be in my head. However, with each successive watch since then, I’ve come to enjoy it more and more. I’ve gotten past the questionable use of CGI in some scenes (the pod race is amazing though). And I can overlook the strained and awkward dialogue. But there are a couple of things about this movie that still make my eyes twitch. First…Jar Jar Binks. Hesa big doo doo! That’s all I’ll say because I can’t talk about that character without throwing up a little in my mouth. Second…Jake Lloyd. Yes, he’s adorable, and he kind of looks like what Anakin might look like as a kid. But his acting is horrible! I know, he’s a kid, just 9 years old when this movie was released. But the casting director couldn’t find a child actor with more range and talent?! Think of what someone like Haley Joel Osment (Forrest Gump, The Sixth Sense) or Thomas Brody Sangster (Love Actually, The Maze Runner) would have done with this role. Third, Qui-Gon Jinn is a very compelling character, and Darth Maul is just freakin’ cool looking. But both were gone way too soon. I would have liked to have seen both of them with continuing arcs through to the end of this trilogy. I’m still going to enjoy watching this along with you. Like I said, I don’t hate this movie…I was just expecting more than what was delivered.

The day this opened I skipped school to go and see it. Since that day, I'll dip back in maybe every five years thinking "maybe this time I'll like it better!" And every time the answer is no. It has a dope lightsaber fight and John Williams does his damn thing, but... man, I just can't take the dialogue, I hate the lore, the kid is rough (no shots at him, he's a kid!), and, I hate to say it, but... between Jar Jar and the trade federation guys... it's not exactly boom times for avoiding problematic depictions of racial stereotypes. I keep trying, but... I just can't get there.

These prequel movies definitely hit differently for people like myself and you who have seen what happens to Anakin and Obi Wan. For people who started with this movie, they have no idea what's coming...

The lightsaber duel is one of my favorites. They actually had to slow down the actors of Obi Wan and Darth Maul as their dueling was too fast. Think you can find it on YouTube.

Ron White

This movie is not my favorite for most of the reasons you and others have mentioned except for one thing : The Duel of The Fates! George Lucas was a master publicist and was able to buy ads and product placements like no one else. At the time this movie premeired I liked to listen to classical music at work over the local NPR affiliate. I was listening as usual a couple of days before the movies premeire. After the 10am news break there was a couple of seconds of dead air and then this composition shoved Bach, Mahler and Beethoven to the side and starting blaring from the speakers with no warning or explanation. I listened dumbfounded as chills went down my spine! I am very moved and inspired by music and this is one of three seminal moments in my life that I can recall when exposure to a new piece of music absolutely jolted me. I dont know how much money George Lucas had to donate to NPR for that "ad" placement but it was worth every penny.

I also do the holding breath challenge!

Eric Wallace

Ready for the most terrifyingly acccuarate film depiction of the rise of fascism? Well dont worry thr Clone Wars animated series will just drive it in more. Lucas was a true artist in that this was always more than just pulp; it really means something.

Eric Wallace

My Princess Lite, this trilogy is the most accurate explanation of the rise of fascism. The original trilogy how you stop it. The clone wars is a real depiction of war. Rebels is a real depiction of resistance in regime.

What I learned from this is that girls simply like the bad boys

I don't get that "hate leads to suffering" quote. Because joy can lead to suffering. ie-having someone that's given you a great sense of belonging being taken away from you. That joy can lead to jealousy, which is watching everyone with the very thing you had and not willing to share. But that suffering can lead back to joy if said thing is given back, especially by an unlikely source. Seriously, as soon as Yoda said that Obi Wan should've turned on Inside Out. It would've blown his little green mind.

Yes E.T planet was represented hahaha good catch not many catch that

When I saw this movie when it came out. I did not like Jar Jar Binks or the fact that Anakin saved the day, other then thought two thinks I did enjoy it. Jar Jar Binks, you said, "Not just clumsy, but he is an ... Idiot!! " "Annoying" that is how I felt, hahaha. There is a fan edit the removes all the annoying Jar Jar parts. I think it would have been better. George Lucas, wanted him for the kids, I understand, but the hardcore fans that grew up with 4,5, and 6 responded like you did. Surprised you ended up in the middle. hahaha He was coated in ..... "stupidity" is the word you were looking for hahahaha Oh I was sad that Darth Maul died, he was so awesome, the best character introduced in the movie.

John A

I just love your post comments all the time. I am not going to spoil anything, just find your thoughts interesting, right or wrong hahaha.

You mentioned the Pod Racer game, it is available on GOG and Steam for the first one. the Racer Revenge has better graphics but regarded not as well as the first game. Revenge is only on PS2,3,4 https:// www.gog.com/en/game/star_wars_episode_i_racer

And there you touch on the problem with the Jedi code and the mentality of the Jedi high council and Jedi Order at this time. Their ego and their arrogance and belief in their superiority blinds them to the truth. Which ultimately leads to their downfall.

Dan C

The leader of the Gungans is Brian Blessed AKA Gotrek. The unkillable dwarf from the old world that couldn't even be killed by the world blowing up.

Tony S

Duel of the fates in this one still gives me chills

“Balance to the Force”, means the light balances out OVER the dark side. It’s mentioned a few times, but the darkness is clouding the Jedi’s ability to perceive the force. Back when this came out, Jar Jar was kind of liked by kids but most saw him as to extra. The medichlrian thing was way less popular, and they kind of phase it out because it was so unpopular. Personally, despite disliking Jar Jar, the Gungans I really liked and were my favorite faction in Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds.

Myth Oceanas

The books and comics at the time fleshed out most of the characters too. Between ep 1 and 2 they released so much extra stuff. The Obiwan books were good explaining Qui-Gon’s backstory was one of my favorites. Also there were comics that expanded on almost every member of the council. I mostly remember a comic that covered Master Mundi and Yaddle.

Ziro the Hutt

There's being bad, then there is psychopathic, like Anakin. Bloke was a wrong'un from the off lol.

Ziro the Hutt

Yeah Clone Wars, in chronological order. ;)

Ziro the Hutt

We'll get more into the politics of all this in Clone Wars, which I think you'll like. I'm sure kids weren't into all that when this came out. I was an adult, so was a bit more into it, so am fine with how it all starts. Ok since you were speaking about the setup of the political system, I'll bite. The Republic consists of thousands of worlds; Hutt Space is a large region of space not in the Republic, so is outside of their laws, hency slavery, which the Republic has ensured is illegal in their space. The Supreme Chancellor acts like a Prime Minister and house Speaker; stimulating debate, and ensuring the political machine is well greased in passing laws, and sorting disputes. The Trade Federation, Banking Clan, Tech Union are large and powerful conglomerates who have got senatorial seats, in which one would assume to help with member worlds. However, as in real life, they also bribe and lobby for their own gains. There is no upstanding Republic military yet (which gets brought in with the clones in the next film). Throughout history, worlds would have their own military to keep local order and their own systems defended. The Jedi were peacekeepers, so when worlds had issues that couldn't be resolved, the Republic would send in Jedi to negotiate and resolve issues. The Jedi are a separate entity but are now intertwined with the Republic who now fund them. The Republic and Jedi Order grew in prosperity together over 25,000 year to this point. The Jedi also brought in worlds into the Republic and mapped regions of space in the early days, bringing the nascent Republic together. Now though, they are pretty much intertwined with Galactic politics, which will be a problem with a Sith Lord now in charge. Had they stayed neutral or less connected to the Republic; they might not have some of the issues that's coming and almost makes them become extinct. More on this as we go forward. And yes, Jar-Jar (eugh...) is a Gungan. They actually struggled for a long time on his design. I don't mind silly characters in Star Wars; I love them, a few you've yet to meet are amazingly hilarious, and clearly for kids to enjoy. My issue with Jar-Jar, is that he just wasn't funny, and since he was involved so much here, it drags the film down. Thankfully he's in the other two much less. Btw if you watch Rebels one day you'll see a character who was the original concept for Jabba the Hutt, since you bring him up. Got it in one with Sidious being Palpatine's Sith name. Count Dooku in Episode II's Sith name is Darth Tyranus, which doesn't get referenced often. R2 being a god damn hero from the off! Legend. Qui-Gon strike Anakin down right now, immediately save us all a lot of trouble! Yeah some species are stronger against the force than others; Hutts like Jabba are one of them, Toydarian's like Watto are another. Qui-Gon is a Jedi "Knight" - knights are noble, they don't steal Teegan, come on now! :P Yes Anakin coincidentally built 3PO - he also just happens to be a virgin birth and space Jesus, though more like space Lucifer... Oh George. Anyway the lightside is balance, so it doesn't matter how many Jedi there are, as they listen to and follow the force. The issue is the Sith corrupt the force causing an imbalance. As Vader takes himself and Sidious out of the game in VI, there are no more Sith left (that we know of), so balance is restored. That's the take on it, and I'm fine with that, my issue with all this, is that it undermines Vader's story in the OT, because that was a more personal story about him reconnecting to his son and finding some light in him again to sacrifice himself for Luke - and it was beautiful. It didn't need this Chosen One nonsense (another rip-off from Dune btw). It is what it is, but that's what it means Teegan - lightside balance, end the Sith, balance restored. We'll get a lot more on midichlorians later Teegan, so that will answer some of your questions about them. Some don't like the idea, I don't mind it tbh, as it doesn't change the lore from the original trilogy, which some seem to think it does. And every living thing has midichlorians in Star Wars and can use the force with training; those with a higher count just have more aptitude for it like the Jedi. Haha "you know you have a beef with... a child" - nice one Teegan, spat out my whisky with that one! Sebulba is a shit, but I kind of love him! I agree with Obi-Wan, Anakin is a pathetic life form! :P And Kenobi won't just become a great Jedi Knight, but the greatest Jedi in the history of the order! "I don't want things to change" - yeah Ani that's always going to be your problem, change is part of life. On Padme, yes she's pretty good. In Clone Wars you are going to love her. One thing Star Wars pretty much always does well, is with female characters; a few you know, like Padme, Leia, Dedra, Vel, Mon Mothma, Jyn Erso, Rey, Cere, Merrin, Trilla. However there is more in the animations and tv series you have yet to meet, that you'll love. We don't know anything about Yoda or Yaddle's species. George Lucas always said they should remain elusive, and even with Grogu we will not get much more about him. Yeah Maul is very charismatic. He doesn't get much to work with here, but he's a favourite SW character for a reason - you'll see. Never underestimate Obi-Wan Kenobi, the finest duellist in the order... And yes, even if the quality of these films varies, John Williams ALWAYS delivers. If you listen to the theme again at the end of Phantom Menace, its in reverse of the Emperor's Theme in Return of the Jedi, signifying that this may be a victory for now, but Sidious will "have his revenge".
