    Storyline

    Edit
    The evil Trade Federation, led by Nute Gunray is planning to take over the peaceful world of Naboo. Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi are sent to confront the leaders. But not everything goes to plan. The two Jedi escape, and along with their new Gungan friend, Jar Jar Binks head to Naboo to warn Queen Amidala, but droids have already started to capture Naboo and the Queen is not safe there. Eventually, they land on Tatooine, where they become friends with a young boy known as Anakin Skywalker. Qui-Gon is curious about the boy, and sees a bright future for him. The group must now find a way of getting to Coruscant and to finally solve this trade dispute, but there is someone else hiding in the shadows. Are the Sith really extinct? Is the Queen really who she says she is? And what's so special about this young boy? —simon

    7/10
    Probably my most nostalgic Star Wars movie in the saga!
    The year is 1999. I am about 7 years old, and not yet seen a Star Wars movie in theatres. Thus the stage was set for my experience with Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace.

    Ok, so first and foremost, I realize that Ep. I is not the best of the best, but I still quite enjoy watching it. It's fun, fast-paced (for the most part) and has frickin' Darth Maul in it!!! The story at time drags a bit and some of the dialogue isn't all that great, but there are definitely still many moments that unleash that inner kid in you, i.e. the Podracers, the epic battles at the end and that amazing lightsaber duel! I do like this entry in the saga, and every time I watch it, I go back to a somewhat simpler time; when the stresses of everyday life hadn't yet sunk in. Overall, I enjoy Ep. I and all the memories it sets off. The Force will be with you...always.

    FAQ24

    • How do the Gungans lose their shield generator in the droid battle? When the generator is hit the shield is still active until it explodes so how did the droids do that if as we see the shield blocks all laser fire even from the tanks?
    • What is 'Phantom Menace' about?
    • Is 'Phantom Menace' based on a book?
