It's been a long time since the Retronauts East crew gathered together (remotely, even), and it's been even longer since we talked about Star Wars games. Well, actually, you'll need to wait a little longer for Star Wars game discussion—this is the first episode in a trilogy about the prequel Star Wars trilogy, and we're treating this entire trio of podcasts as a cohesive whole. So—rather than talking about the movie and related games this time around, we're simply talking about the film. The games will have to keep for another episode! Yes, this is a video game podcast, but we're working up to the games. I promise that this is an entertaining enough discussion to be worth your time. 

And hey, who doesn't love Retronauts East? Big ol' jerks, that's who.

Edits this episode by Greg Leahy, and cover art by Shaan Khan.

Great episode once again, I don’t know if you guys have watched the Light and Magic documentary on Disney Plus yet but that confirmed what Jeremy said about the effects of Jurassic Park basically spurring Lucas on to finally start work on the prequels. I don’t think Episode I is the worst movie ever and I do agree that there’s a decent story in there about the Jedi losing touch and the political intrigue of it all, but as an 11 year old when I saw it the first time (context: I’d seen the original trilogy already) I was kinda bored by it? And rewatching it a few weeks ago I still felt bored by it? There’s goofy stuff in the originals as well but boredom is not something I ever felt watching those and I think that’s what sinks Phantom Menace. I’m excited to hear your thoughts about the other two, Clones is rough but I think Revenge of the Sith is okay!

I watched all the movies a couple of years ago with extended family during covid Christmas 2020 and this was easily the most confusing one. After watching 2e spend 20 minutes trying to explain the plot to each other. Truly baffling movie.

Super bummed that Greg cut my 5-star Liam Neeson midi-chlorian impression :)

I mean, the Jedi *are an ancient religion in the historical sense, so that throwaway line by Han isn't really affected

This is a bad movie. Lol. I get it. I get why people defend it, and I am not here to say that anyone's feelings about the movie are invalid. In some way, I do get that. There is a huge nostalgia element here and I do feel that. But It's just not good. It's not entertaining, it's plot is jumbled as hell, the acting is all over the place. I am not even going to address the cg element, because to me, that's the least offensive thing about it. A lot of effort went into it. A lot of creativity went into it. I totally acknowledge that. It just did not come together for me at all. And I am appalled that it still resonates so deeply with people.
