The end of the fight between Qui Gon, Obi Wan and Darth Maul shows the difference between Sith and Jedi very well. When the laser partitions separated Qui Gon and Maul from each other, the Jedi began to meditate, calming down, and the Sith, on the contrary, walked in a rage like a tiger in a cage, filling himself with emotions. And when Obi Wan attacked Maul after the death of his master, you can see that he was filled with rage, which took him out of balance, since this is not the way of the Jedi and he does not know how to handle it, and Darth Maul, being a Sith who has been raised inside the order since childhood, who on the contrary feeds himself with emotions, easily he was defeated and thrown into the mine, and only when Obi Wan was able to calm down and return to balance, he was able to defeat Maul мне
This movie was my introduction to Star Wars it was my first movie in the cinema in 1999 un a big Star Wars Fan since then so this movie has a special place in my heart
Natalie Portman played Queen Amidala and her decoy, was played by a very young Keira Knightley (in that time Natalie was young as well, but more known than Keira).
double handed is powerful but extremely difficult to master and not many jedi or sith have used it, especially during this time. not to mention with double you need more space to make it work where as single handed you can get more closely to your target
The Jedi actually constantly use the Force while in a lightsaber duel, letting it guide their actions. A lightsaber duel is based just as much on fighter's precognative abilities as it is their physical prowess, like how Obi-wan explained in A New Hope. The stronger the Force connection, the easier you can predict an opponent's moves. But the more skill with the lightsaber, the harder it will be to predict their movements, giving them an advantage.
You're right, there are some slow parts in this episodes, and a lot of politics, but Lucas felt that it was necessary in order for us to understand why the non-functionnal republic transitioned into the Galactic Empire. You will learn more about Anakin and several characters in the next 2 episodes. I won't spoil anything for you, but as for this one, you'll see some of the same characters as well as new characters. If you don't have a good memory for names, take some notes, names & relationship between people (X is apprentice of Y, and Y is the apprentice of Z for example)--if you do it right, you should have a chain of names starting from Yoda up until Luke. As you already saw in this movie with the Queen, some characters have more than one name or double identities (especially on the Sith side: one sith name, Darth or Lord something & one public name), you'll understand later. My personal favorite is episode 3 (much darker & it's the link between the prequels & Original triligy, where most of the plot is revealed)--but if you're attentive to all dialogues, you'll have an idea before watching it about who is who. One very important conversation is between Anakin and the chancellor at the space opera in episode 3 (you'll know what I mean when you'll see it). It reveals a lot about the Siths and Anakin's father. I won't say anymore to not give major spoilers, except than: pay attention to details & conversations between people. Have a nice day, while I'll look what else you have on your channel. And don't worry about not knowing everything, we all went through there, back in the mid 70's & 80's. Ask questions & people will gladly answer you while trying to not spoil you too much. There is a complete timeline if you want the backstory from the start (millions of years before episode 1), but I'll give it to you only after you watched all 6 movies--too many spoilers.
Thanks, Ashna! 💫 I hope you keep watching them. There are priceless elements in *every* STAR WARS movie and live-action tv series, no matter what cynics say. I hope you'll find those treasures. They will enhance your headcanon and the lore, overall.
And for me, personally, I love this trilogy a lot. You probably have a lot of questions but be patient... you will see all when you finish this trilogy!
jedi trainees (also called padawan) are usually taken in at very young age. the reason behind this is to not let them have too strong connections to others. like yoda said: if you are afraid (for example to loose someone) this can lead you down a dark path. there is a reason why jedi often feel aloof or disconnected. it is exactly what they are to make sure they dont have fears or other emotions that can lead them towards the dark side.
You didn’t show your reaction to my favorite line in the movie. After the one Trade Federation dude asks, “Is that LEgal?” the Sith answers, “I will MAKE IT legal.” I’ve decided that if I ever run for public office, that last line will be my answer to anyone questioning some of my more extreme ideas.
@@aurorauplinks Well, it is canon because he handed off everything to his protege Dave Filoni and has approved everything since passing the mantle to Filoni.
Double sided sabers have very little defense options it’s pure offensive. It can take out the average Jedi but it struggles against anyone rank Master.
No entiendo por qué a la mayoría le cuesta entender que hay un campo de fuerza entre Darth Maul, Qui Gon y Obi Wan. Incluso Darth Maul le da unos golpecitos para que quede claro lo que es, y aún así siempre preguntan: Qué es? Por qué se quedan detenidos? Etc.
Darth Maul was not the phantom menace; it was the trade federation invasion. A phantom is something that isn't really there, so a phantom menace would be a fake threat.
@@marcusmcgill4423 As George Lucas explained in an interview with Vanity Fair, "The phantom menace is a character named Darth Sidious," who Lucas described as "the last of the Sith." It's interesting to note that, at the time this interview was conducted, Lucas didn't acknowledge Darth Sidious was in fact Palpatine. This led to speculation Palpatine was a pawn of the Sith, rather than the fulfillment of their millennia of planning. This, of course, was probably why Lucas was so careful with his wording in the first place; he wanted viewers to speculate as to the true identity of the Sith Lord, just as the Jedi would do over the course of the prequel trilogy.Lucas hinted the title actually had something of a double meaning. As Lucas explained in his interview, the concept of "menace" should be broadened to include Darth Maul - the brutal Sith Apprentice who threatened Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Maul stood front and center in marketing for Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, with Lucasfilm well aware his terrifying appearance had potential viewers hooked. He appeared in almost all the posters and even in the film's trailer. "At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi," Darth Maul seethed, in words filled with dark promise. "At last we will have revenge."...It appears Marcus you are correct 👍
Wish you did not do research before watching as you mentioned previously. You somewhat further spoiled the plot for yourself even though you might've known some information already.
I wish I could like this movie but I can’t, it’s just too boring and Jar Jar is the worst character in the entire star wars franchise, okay maybe that robot in solo is worse lol.
@@TonyTigerTonyTiger Alec Guinness was nominated for an Academy Award for a New Hope. Who from Phantom Menace deserves that distinction? Jar Jar? Monotone Natalie Portman? Empire Strikes back is one of the greatest movies of all time. Period.
The famous song parody writer and singer Weird Al Yankovic did this parody of “American Pie,” which very closely tells the story of the movie. He famously wrote it originally based on leaks and advertisements about the film, and when he finally saw it for real, he had very little he needed to change.

“He’s going to see his mentor PERISH!”
Saw this first showing at midnight and the projector broke during the opening text. I thought there was going to be a riot

That’s awesome

That’s what I find out as an adult. In fact, I first know Keira Knightly from pirates of the Caribbean.
One of them is called Yaddle but she died when Dooku joined Sidious. She is from the same species as Yoda
40:38 This point sails above the head of long time fans over and over again. Major kudos for understanding what they don't.
Can you be a bit more specific? Long time fan wants to know.

No matter your take on the movie, Dual of The Fates and Maul are awesome. (I, personally, always liked it)
That final light saber fight is still the best light saber fight ever put the film
"Malicious compliance" - will definitely be using that
The lighting early in your video give me Angel vibes!

The female Yoda is called Yaddle she dies offscreen in between the prequel movies. You will not see her again unless you watch Tales of the Jedi.
its not a GL cannon death unless GL says it happens. Some relief in teh dark world

It actually has two defensive options - each blade. Obviously Maul had no issues defending himself against two experienced Jedi simultaneously.
@@darkphoenix2 you mean a Jedi master and a Padwaan. The clone wars had a similar fight. With Kit Fisto an his apprentice.

Never get tired of cat!
Sick title dude
Only 50 year old men hate the prequels
What about 60 year old men?
Sequels were worse
Don't let anyone give you spoilers for either the next two. They are best if you go in not knowing what will happen.

i only clicked on this to let you know that you look like Jasmin from Aladdin.
The Phantom menace is Palpatine not Darth Maul.....great reaction over all..
It's both because they both represented the Sith which the Jedi thought they were long destroyed/gone.
@mcgill4423 According to the official Star Wars databank it's Palatine
@@allanjones1680 According to Lucas it was the return of the Sith as a whole being Palps and Maul.
