Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

1999

In this Star Wars prequel, Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and a young Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) must protect the Queen of Naboo (Natalie Portman) from the evil clutches of Darth Sidious and Senator Palpatine. Along the way, they meet a prepubescent Anakin Skywalker, who shows intimations of a great gift. Dazzling special effects from director George Lucas's CGI specialists make this entry in the saga really hum.

At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi.

  • If there had been no Jar Jar and someone else wrote the script, it would have been decent.
