- This is an archived news report of The Phantom Menace opening night in 1999. First in line is Ron Brewer, my dad. The pregnancy that they're announcing is me. They later went on to name me Ben Kenobi, with Kenobi being my middle name.
So some backstory to this news report, my dad waited in line for three days, technically. The first day he waited in line by himself, but went home that night. The second day though is when he camped there that night. While in line, my mom announced that he was going to be a dad. The manager of the theater over heard the news and called the news reporters. After the news was broadcasted, my parents managed to get a hold of a VHS tape copy of the news report. Over 20 years later we finally got around to converting the tape to digital.
Also, if you noticed my dad drawing that cat in the video, he's an amazing artist. I highly suggest you check out his work (and I've helped edit some of these videos)

Sorry if this upload seems confusing, please read the description. This video is very dear to me.
It's an incredible thing to have documented. I didn't read the description at first, and was immediately wondering about what the greater story was. Thanks for sharing.
I just read the description. All I have to say is...NICE!
I'm from Memphis so I got excited seeing that action news 5 thumbnail! Really cool you were able to get a tape of this especially since your parents announced.. well you!
My mom went to see The Phantom Menace while she was pregnant with me. And she told me while the THX logo came before the movie starts, she told me her belly was wobbling because of me because of that.
And it gave you autism
“You’re going to be a daddy!”
-“ Anyways… this has been one of the greatest times of my life” 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome story, Ben! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
This is a great story! I never knew you had such a cool backstory. May the force be with you, Ben Kenobi
Wow when the only way to watch movies was the theater
That’s so cool Ben Kenobi!
It bothers me they called Queen Amidala Princess Liea but I can't be mad without knowing a new character
What a time to be alive i was only 3 when tpm came out
I was twice your age at the time.

Holy cow, Jabba. Lay off the pate de foie gras.
Bad movie this is. The John Williams music score is a keeper. MECO recorded a techno version of Duel of the Fates. Lucas approved the "1920's style Naboo fighter plane".
