      I hope you, AND EVERYONE can pass along what some of us didn't get in 1999-2006, being spared hate from some OT lovers for us loving the Prequels.
      DON'T be like those people. If a person was fortunate enough to be too young to be bullyed by people for loving the Prequels, consider yourself lucky.
      Let people be proud of their favorite Star Wars. Don't bully their love of the Sequels if that's what they love the most.
      People love the Original Trilogy, Prequels, and Sequels for different reasons.
      LET THEM. What one set of films lacks, it excels at in other ways. Respect and love that they get to love what they love, that doesn't mean you have to.
      Just because we don't love the Sequel Trilogy, doesn't mean we have to hate it, and hate those who love it.

    I’ve always loved this movie. I’ve been defending it for years. The thing is, the distaste for it wasn’t always there. It sort of emerged in the few years after when the haters got hold of the IMDB forums and shortly thereafter, Facebook.
    I mean it, too. I’m glad people are coming around to embrace it again.

      Bob tea No he wanted to commit suicide because of the negative Star Wars fans. The prequel bashers. He created the character and George Lucas approved of it. All he did was do exactly what he was told because that’s with the creator of Star Wars told to do. Prequel bashers are responsible for any of the actors having trouble lives because they participated in Star Wars.

    It was a great time to be a kid. I was introduced to Star Wars 5 years prior and couldn't wait to see The Phantom Menace. I still remember my reaction from seeing the teaser poster for the first time in late 1998. I had just seen the special editions of the original trilogy in 1997 and thought that that would be it. Then I saw the poster that showed Anakin Skywalker as a child and Darth Vader's shadow behind him. Immediately, I knew who that kid was and who he would become. I had no idea that there was going to be another film, but after seeing that poster (then the trailer shortly afterwards) I knew I had to see it. I managed to see the film twice in theaters and several times on VHS. Nearly 25 years later, I still enjoy episode 1 and the other prequels un-ironically and do not regret it. Disney's films have not and never will match up to the originals, nor the prequels, and there's not been that many films since Phantom Menace that made me feel like I was going to witness an event in the making.

    Ian Mcdiarmid is the dark side of the force. He is so amazing as Palpatine and Darth Sidious. Ray Park playing his apprentice Darth Maul was amazing. I wish Peter Serafinwicz got some recognition since he was the voice behind Maul. Also David Chaing being part of the Star Wars Universe from the late 90's and onwards says he has had an incredible journey. In one of the original trilogies you have Clive Revill playing the Emperor as a hologram. He then voiced Alfred Pennyworth for the first five episodes of Batman The Animated Series.

      Collin Yates Maybe some nostalgia I was 4 when the phantom menace came out but I saw. The original trilogy on vhs before so I knew it was a prequel I’d say it’s what the prequels show the Jedi at their prime facing there greatest adversary. The lightsaber duel really shows that maul vs obi wan and qui gon is the best duel in the saga easily for me it always has been. I just enjoy the prequel era Palpatine schemings, the clone wars the fall of republic, the story is strong. That’s why Rots and Tpm are higher than the original trilogy for me the ot is great no doubt but the prequels era clone wars era has a whole I find better than galactic empire era. The age of the rebellion comics look very promising the age of Republic ones were great!

    The Phantom Menace was the last film that George Lucas used actual “Film” to film it.

    • @AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE
      @AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Yes it does fit in visually much better because of the film grain, and I think it might have helped sell the CGI since the overall image is not so pristine and clinical where ever flaw is more apparent.
      I'd love to see a "Special Editions" of the prequels with some improved CGI on Attack of the Clones especially, and adding some film grain emulation to make the 2 later prequels fit in a bit more visually.

      @INT_Based 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      AJD OLD CHANNEL ARCHIVE I personally love the look already of AOTC and ROTS, they’re quite unique still even after all these years. Phantom menace would definitely benefit though from a bit of touch ups to the cgi.
      One thing I really love about the prequels is the amount of practical sets especially the real ships and droids. The painted backdrops are also classic.

    I was a Freshman in college when that first trailer came out. I still get chills hearing that first bit with the Jedi theme playing. Then came the second trailer, when my friends and I went to go see A Bug's Life on $2 Tuesday just so we could see the trailer on the big screen. The Phantom Menace was the first DVD I ever bought - and that was before I had a DVD player. Say what you will about the movie (personally not my favorite), but it was huge when it came out.
