    That is why this is called the Prequel Trilogy. Star Wars started at Episode 4, this is Episode 1. This movie is chronologically about 20-30 years before Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.

      Yes, the time from Episode I to Episode III is 13 years. Then a 19 years gap between Episodes III and IV. And finally there's just 4 years between Episodes IV and VI. Thirty six years total from the beginning of the Episode I to the end of Episode VI.

      They are called the prequel trilogy and if sequels are movies that happen after the first what did they think prequels mean, heck pre means before it’s in the name, plus this movie starts by saying Star Wars episode ONE the phantom menace what did they think Episode one meant it’s the beginning.

    The choreography was excellent. Gotta give a big hand to Ray Park who portrayed Darth Maul, really made the villain feel threatening and able to handle two Jedi at once.
    Also, the fact that this was Keira Knightley's first big acting role means that her career was essentially kick-started because she was hired as a Natalie Portman lookalike.

    I have to applaud Asia for figuring out the Anakin situation! No lie, I was amused throughout as Asia kept trying to figure out and y'all were trying to understand why certain characters were still around. Yes, y'all are watching the prequels, The Phantom Menance is Ep1, Attack of the Clones is Ep 2 and Revenge of the Sith is Ep 3. Y'all first watched Eps 4, 5 and 6, with New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Yes, Anakin created C3PO. That's him before he gets his official look that you saw in the latter films. Definitely don't wait long between watching films in a franchise b/c the details are always important.

      He has his memory wiped before the events of the OT (one of the last scenes of Ep3 is "have the protocol droid's mind wiped"), so he likely has no idea who his "maker" specifically was, he's just referring to them in the abstract sense.

    "How did he (Darth Maul) know where they were at (Tatooine)?" Playing Star Wars Galaxies game as a Bounty Hunter taught me to use 2 droids to locate my objective. One was the Imperial Probe Droid (Empire Strikes Back) which identified the planet. Once I landed on the target's planet, the droids seen when Darth Maul lands were used to locate the objective's position on that planet. It takes some time for the droids to complete their task.

    Notice Yoda said Anakin was too old, same as he did with Luke. It's because training someone in the force is like turning them into a deadly weapon. The Jedi generally only start training people when they're babies and haven't been alive long enough to be traumatized. Anakin was literally raised in slavery by a single mother. Anyone in that position would have some issues. Not the guy you want to give a weapon to, that's for sure.

    The force is also a metaphor for consciousness in the living universe. The Sith dive into passion fear hate and rage while the Jedi value compassion willpower peace and courage. In this age the Jedi are monk like peacekeepers taken from their families at birth to ensure they never form attachment. Qui-Gon was rebellious and didn’t believe that the Jedi should completely disavow love or consider all emotion as a liability making him the best mentor to Anakin and showing him the ways of the force. The orchestra during Qui-Gon and Mauls fight is called Duel of the Fates because the victor determined whether Qui-Gon would train Anakin or would it have to be Obi-Wan

In a sense he is Yoda's apprentice to be the grand master, which points to why he is wearing a hooded robe with the hood up when Yoda says of the Sith Order, "always two there are: a master and an apprentice." He's alluding to how the Sith follow a similar organization to the Jedi.

    Alright guys. Asia figured it out. These movies are referred to as the prequel trilogy.
    Booger worm's name: Jabba the Hutt.
    Sam Jackson: Mace Windu. Possibly the most powerful Jedi next to Yoda during this time period.
    This trilogy is basically "Hey, how did Vader become Vader".
    Fun fact: The track thats playing during the epic final fight scene with Darth Maul is called "Duel of the Fates". Meaning Qui-gon and Maul are fighting over the fate of Anakin Skywalker. Qui-gon is the father figure Anakin never had and he's someone who actually wants to raise/train him. Everyone else seems to not want to deal with him. Even Obi-wan does it out of a sense of obligation to Qui-gon but he seems to be doing it reluctantly.
    Keep going. Watch Rogue One once you're done with this trilogy. It takes place immediately before Episode IV (A New Hope).

When Lucas had the opportunity to make Star Wars obviously, it was a pretty large production, and he didn't have the funds to start at the beginning, so Lucas decided to first do episodes for 4, 5 and 6, which he felt was the best part of the story. Once he was able to make enough money off the first three, he Was finally able to finish the whole story and he started at the very beginning. I think it's pretty cool.
