starring -Natalie Portman as queen pandbear or padamammy or whatever the hell you call her -Liam Neeson as Liam Neeson -Ewan Mcgregor as Ewan Mcgregor -Jake Loyd as annoying useless kid -Ian McDiarmid as obviously the emperor -Jar Jar Binks as annoying non funny comic relief
I kind of love the art style and vibe of this stupid thing.I have good memories of playing it at my friends' really cool old house, which they had in the 90's.
lol yeah Episode 1 isn't very good... it's like a kid movie or something. They literally turned a war scene into comedic relief. This game looks fun though! Totally going to grab it if I see it.
Back in 1999 when Episode 1 came out, I got some free tie-in book covers from K-Mart. I kept the Jar Jar one on my wall for years, facing toward my window. Friends would always comment on it, which is what I wanted.
OK, I am going to explain Jar Jar Binks the way I thought of the character the first time I saw Episode I. Jar Jar Binks is a character that was created to pay homage to the classic Western sidekick. If you watch almost any Western TV show or movie from the 1940s or 50s, the star and hero of the movie often has some bumbling idiot "side kick" that follows him around that is almost useless, gets int he way, is maybe helpful in minor ways, and is generally just there as comic relief. If you think of Jar Jar in that context, he fits that role perfectly. I by no means think Jar Jar Binks is a great character, but I never had the kind of hateful ire for the character that so many others do. I think if people understood what George Lucas was trying to convey with that character, I think people would at least respect what the character represents and that it was at least a reasonable effort, if but a failed one in many respects. That's what I think of the character, and all around, I generally liked the movie for it's action and special effects, I like Episode one MUCH more then the much more boring Episode II which was a snore fest for at least half the movie.
The problem is, Walter Brennan never stuck his tongue in electrical outlets or shrieked at the top of his lungs the minute something went wrong. He was funny. Jar Jar Binks is not.
"....You're better off teaching them that ... Uhura and spock are luke's parents" LOL couldn't have worded or pictured it better!!! Whether you agree or disagree, you have to admit that is a hilarious statement :D :D Dude love your reviews and humor! Cheers
This game looks fun! I pray one day we will have a GTA 5 Star Wars crossover game featuring Trevors infamous torture scene with Jar Jar in the hot seat.
I'm not going to act like Episode I was a great Star Wars film. It's not. But I don't think it's as bad as a lot of people tend to believe. Take out Jar Jar, get rid of the scientific "explanation" for the Force, and give Darth Maul more dialogue and screen time (and a motive for doing bad-guy things), and the movie is decent. Those are really the only major problems I have with Episode I. I like the prequels. They're certainly not as good as the originals, but I can look past their flaws and see the story of how Darth Vader came to be, and it's a believable one. If nothing else, Episode III was pretty decent, right? *All hail Lord Karnage!*
it absolutely blows my mind that there are people who like and defend episode 1 as if its an amazing movie. i know the originals have its share of flaws but the story, the characters, the worlds and charm of it all makes up for it.
***** something you might enjoy knowing is that this game was actually originally developed for the sega dreamcast but then switched to the ps2 after the dreamcast went kaput. something you might not enjoy knowing is that i love all 6 star wars movies. d-;
Red Letter Media's Ep 1, 2, and 3 reviews. Look them up here on TH-cam, if you think any of those films were "good". At the end of the day (and I was guilty of this for III when it came out) the only real reason why these films are remembered at all is because they're apart of the Star Wars franchise. Seriously though, his reviews go into every aspect of what's wrong with the films, all with a fun twist.
Jar Jar truly is an abomination! I still can't believe that Lucas thought that he would be a beloved character. How wrong he was! I loath the very mention of Jar Jars name! I cringe at the horror of his form! I recoil at the very thought that he will forever be in the Star Wars cannon. If I could only lobotomize the part of my brain that stores Jar Jar Bink's, there would be a little more joy in my life. Sadly not to be. Lol
shorty1k The Expanded Universe can still be pulled from for inspiration. The prequels directly ruined the force and darth vader, hell even the original trilogy got fucked over and changed to match the prequels with the special edition. Simply saying the expanded universe isn't canon is not even a big deal. The EU was probably a huge mess anyway.
petplatypus It was the complete opposite of "a mess". If you read any of the books or played any of the games, you'd understand that they put the movies within a much bigger and deeper world. To state that killing this ok is essentially sayi g "Oh hey we killed your family, but don't worry, we'll use the body parts to piece together a new one by our design." Incredibly weak argument.
shorty1k Opposite of a mess? Do you seriously think that many books written by so many different author isn't a creative mess? What about the crap story lines of the force unleashed 1 and 2? It's a tighter written story when you look at 6 movies on there own. I'm not saying any of the EU books specifically are bad. But for the sake of the story it's easier to make a new star wars movie if you have the freedom to not be chained down by the EU.
jar jar was fun-ish. I liked the short slapstick scenes with him. Michse jar jar binsk... lel ^^ Gave the movies some charm, but i agree, any longer than the show'd scenes would have been too much. Ps, since the question will come up: im 30, so no i didnt watch the movies when they came out. On the plus side, i was born when back to the future was released :D
the prequels weren't really that bad, the only thing in Star Wars that should be bashed the most is The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!
I am a HUGE Star Wars fan and yes, although JarJar might be annoying, I like the prequels the same as the original trilogy - like it or not. They are not THAT bad.
Samual L Jackson's "performance", Jar Jar, Yoda's face, midichlorians, anakin, leia remembering her mother yet she died before she could speak her first words, robots vs clones (aka: Battle of No Tension!), awkward love scenes, anakin and padme getting married after a day or two despite not having even so much as bumped into each other since they met in ep 1, palpatine's actions making absolutely no sense at all throughout the course of the whole prequel trilogy, trade federation having no reason to risk their entire business by trusting a guy who can't even identify himself and seems to offer them nothing in return, anyone can replace a senator to pass sweeping legislation.. even Jar Jar, if the Jedi knew the Sith was controlling the Senate why not force a blood test on everyone to identify them since the force can apparently be detected with a blood test, dying of a broken heart, CGI CGI CGI CGI, shot reverse shot shot reverse shot, everyone is either walking or sitting all the time, Dooku's short death, Kit Fisto's short death (despite being the best swordsman in the Jedi order), being 2 inches away from lava and not combusting in flames, the friend's of Anakin's performance in Ep1, 800,000 references to the old trilogy as if it is supposed to be funny, Lucas' failed attempt to copy Empire with Ep II,.... damn I could go on.
I never understood why people hated the religious/spiritual part of The Force being removed in what is almost exclusively a sci-fi based series. So what if The Force is science and not religion?
I will say this about Jar Jar- he's far better than the Ewoks. Why? Because Jar Jar didn't take out a legion of trained soldiers with sticks and rocks. That shit's dumb. And he didn't get two spin off movies, a cartoon series, and a comic book. That shit's even dumber.
This game was my jam growing up. Great stuff as always, Mark.
There's actually a way to unlock Darth Vader in this game, and a cheat code to unlock Boba Fett. So you've got some OG representation in there too.
veemonjosh undock boba felt??? I played this game religiously and never knew! How do you do it? I can only see one video about it and it’s in Spanish
starring
-Natalie Portman as queen pandbear or padamammy or whatever the hell you call her
-Liam Neeson as Liam Neeson
-Ewan Mcgregor as Ewan Mcgregor
-Jake Loyd as annoying useless kid
-Ian McDiarmid as obviously the emperor
-Jar Jar Binks as annoying non funny comic relief
I kind of love the art style and vibe of this stupid thing.I have good memories of playing it at my friends' really cool old house, which they had in the 90's.

Jar Jar was only there for comedic relief.
Never once did I laugh for Jar Jar.....
Have you saw on youtube Spanish people love to use laugh like jajajajaaj. It literally equal ahahah. So yeah...
Deep_wolf
Spanish people? Oh, you mean hispanics....like me. *silent awkwardness occurs*
*****
For....at. Doesn't matter, really.
***** well he isnt wrong, people from spain laugh like that on text. so at least give him half credit.
Man, I wish that this was on the original Xbox. That with GTA Vice City Stories and Liberty City Stories would be manna from the gods for me.
I honestly had never even heard of his game's existence before now.
Never heard of this one but I did surprisingly enjoy the Pod Racing game on the N64.
This is the first PS2 game I ever played back in 2000
The music is like from an early Lucas adventure game. Like Day of the Tentacle.
These games should have the audio removed and replaced with Plinkett reviews.
Awesome! Another great one man!
OK, I am going to explain Jar Jar Binks the way I thought of the character the first time I saw Episode I. Jar Jar Binks is a character that was created to pay homage to the classic Western sidekick.

am I the only person who actually likes episode 1? mabe its because I grew up with it and I also liked jar jar when I was 7 :)
For some reason I use to rent this game from Blockbuster a lot
Was that because there is no Ape Escape racing game?
"....You're better off teaching them that ... Uhura and spock are luke's parents" LOL couldn't have worded or pictured it better!!! Whether you agree or disagree, you have to admit that is a hilarious statement :D :D Dude love your reviews and humor! Cheers
used to have this. Loved it.
This game looks fun! I pray one day we will have a GTA 5 Star Wars crossover game featuring Trevors infamous torture scene with Jar Jar in the hot seat.
Did this channel move to another platform?
Is the game always this dark or was that a brightness setting? It looked like I was seeing a shadow of Darth Maul lol
holy shit that felt like falling on the floor! how dense is Naboo water? 1:55
Hmm, his character has some kind of weird gourd for a head.
*camera pans around
Holy fuck, that was Anakin.
Poor Jar Jar, he'll never catch a break. They should've rewrote the prequels so Jar Jar would join the Darkside and become a badass sith lord.
Want to play a real Star Wars racing game on PS2?
Star Wars Racer Revenge
I swear the only good thing to come out of the prequels was Pod Racing.
I'm not going to act like Episode I was a great Star Wars film. It's not. But I don't think it's as bad as a lot of people tend to believe.

Picked this up today for £2. Meeeessse so happy!
This is the one major star wars game I never played..
it absolutely blows my mind that there are people who like and defend episode 1 as if its an amazing movie. i know the originals have its share of flaws but the story, the characters, the worlds and charm of it all makes up for it.
Isn't it amazing that there are people with varying opinions :O
***** something you might enjoy knowing is that this game was actually originally developed for the sega dreamcast but then switched to the ps2 after the dreamcast went kaput. something you might not enjoy knowing is that i love all 6 star wars movies. d-;
Okay I kind of dig the prequels but I am aware of their problems. So it's hilarious to me when Lord Karnage gets upset talking about it.
sucks i never discovered this game back in the ps2 days, i actually would have loved it.
Jar Jar is the best character ever
....to poop on.
***** Exsqueeze me, mesa thinks that's rude
The most annoying character ever, actually!
jtomally9681 mesa doesn't think the same
BENDROWNED33
:P
Red Letter Media's Ep 1, 2, and 3 reviews. Look them up here on TH-cam, if you think any of those films were "good".

They should have put a scene
In star wars episode 1
Where jar jar gets killed
I think my kids may like this game.
this game has one an award fore being the most bazaar thing in the universe
sucks i never discovered this game back in the ps2 era, i would have actually loved it!
So what you're saying is fans of Jar Jar Binks will love this game?
Star Wars 1 would of been better if it centered around the pod racing and was just another version of Days of Thunder.
Racer revenge doesn't have Jar Jar, thus it is better.
will my life be better if i get this game i think yes
Im not a star ears fan, so can somebody tell me why episode 1 us that bad?
You know they really should've had characters from the original trilogy as unlockable playable characters, don't you think?
Only 1 completing Galexy Circuit with annakin
i played dis as a youngin
But that would mean that Spock is Darth Vader!!!!
All hail Lord Karnage! Death to jar jar kinks!
3:19 "it'sa Mario!" what the fuck??!?!!!
Ha, close! That's actually Jar Jar saying "me'sir...... baryo?" I can't understand him, honestly, but the first part is definitely me'sir.
Awesome "Star Trek The Animated Series" reference.
Jar Jar truly is an abomination! I still can't believe that Lucas thought that he would be a beloved character. How wrong he was!
I loath the very mention of Jar Jars name! I cringe at the horror of his form! I recoil at the very thought that he will forever be in the Star Wars cannon. If I could only lobotomize the part of my brain that stores Jar Jar Bink's, there would be a little more joy in my life. Sadly not to be. Lol
I liked the prequels for the most part, but I get the feeling they will be looked at like the second coming of Christ compared to "episode 7"
There is no way episode 7 will be as bad as the prequels.
petplatypus Did the prequels retcon the entire expanded universe just to jerk off J.J Abrams? Yea I'd say that's way worse.
shorty1k The Expanded Universe can still be pulled from for inspiration. The prequels directly ruined the force and darth vader, hell even the original trilogy got fucked over and changed to match the prequels with the special edition.

jar jar was fun-ish. I liked the short slapstick scenes with him.
Michse jar jar binsk... lel ^^
Gave the movies some charm, but i agree, any longer than the show'd scenes would have been too much.
Ps, since the question will come up: im 30, so no i didnt watch the movies when they came out. On the plus side, i was born when back to the future was released :D
Wow, pretty bombad game
I had this!!!
I actually loved the prequels.
Jar Jar aside, Episode 1 had some really great scenes. Okay the plot and Jake Lloyd sucked too. But compared to Episodes 2 & 3 it was Casablanca.
Episode 3 is widely regarded as the best of the prequels. Episode 1 and 2 are the ones that every especially hates.
Hate this game, but enjoyed your review. Lol
Ya know what would have been HILARIOUS (and lame)? if they made Jar-Jar the best racer so everybody hated him even more in this game. MWAHAHA
the prequels weren't really that bad, the only thing in Star Wars that should be bashed the most is The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!
I liked The Clone Wars TV show
Great game!
Whatever good thing jarjar does is mainly by pure dumb luck!
I am a HUGE Star Wars fan and yes, although JarJar might be annoying, I like the prequels the same as the original trilogy - like it or not. They are not THAT bad.

Why everyone hates Jar Jar so much?
how is it not obvious to you why he is hated?
Because just like your question, some people are retarded.
I don't get it either, sure he's annoying but is there something I missed?
He is too Disney!
Lewis Miller Oh, ofc I understand now.
Even though I'm sure my kid would have fun with this, I could never buy it. The prequels (especially Jar Jar) do not exist in my kingdom!
I never understood why people hated the religious/spiritual part of The Force being removed in what is almost exclusively a sci-fi based series. So what if The Force is science and not religion?
"The prequels don't exist."
Hey, don't knock Episode 3.
I hate sand
I understand, it gets everywhere
Typical phantom menace hater but plays a phantom menace game. These guys don’t make any sense.
I will say this about Jar Jar- he's far better than the Ewoks. Why? Because Jar Jar didn't take out a legion of trained soldiers with sticks and rocks. That shit's dumb. And he didn't get two spin off movies, a cartoon series, and a comic book. That shit's even dumber.
The preqruels do exist
I love Jar Jar so I guess I should kiss my arm goodbye?
I hope you type with one hand from now on.
By publicly admitting that, you actually have to lose both arms..... soooooo, yeaaaaaaaah, sorry.
Well that sucks.
Jar jar is your daddy
lol looks awful
Wow, this looks really, REALLY bad.
nintendoboy17 give it a try, it’s a very fun game. Me and my siblings wore this game out to the point the disc deformed and couldn’t read properly
God 8 years ago starwars fans were already just as whiny. I wonder how far back id have to dig to find a time when people didnt bitch avout everything
Big Cheese could buy plenty of copies of this if only he had is $200
