The story of Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace begins with a trade dispute between the Trade Federation and the planet Naboo. Two Jedi Knights, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, are sent to negotiate a peaceful settlement but they quickly discover that the situation is much more complicated than it appears.

Upon their arrival on Naboo, the Jedi are attacked by battle droids controlled by the Trade Federation. They manage to escape and make their way to the planet’s surface where they meet a Gungan named Jar Jar Binks who agrees to guide them through his homeland in order to reach Queen Amidala’s palace.

When they finally reach Queen Amidala, she agrees to travel with them back to Coruscant in an effort to seek help from the Galactic Senate. However, during their journey they are forced to land on Tatooine due to damage sustained by their ship. It is here that they meet young Anakin Skywalker, a slave who dreams of becoming a Jedi himself.

Qui-Gon senses that Anakin may be the chosen one - a prophesied Jedi who will bring balance to the Force - and decides to take him under his wing despite objections from both Obi-Wan and the Jedi Council.

Meanwhile, Queen Amidala meets with Senator Palpatine who advises her on how best to handle the situation with the Trade Federation. However, it soon becomes clear that Palpatine has ulterior motives and is secretly manipulating events for his own gain.

Eventually, Qui-Gon participates in a lightsaber duel against Darth Maul - an apprentice of Sith Lord Darth Sidious - in an effort to protect Queen Amidala and Anakin. Unfortunately, Qui-Gon is killed during the fight leaving Obi-Wan as Anakin’s new mentor.

The movie ends with Anakin being freed from slavery and joining Obi-Wan and Queen Amidala on their journey back to Coruscant. However, the audience is left with a sense of foreboding as it becomes clear that Darth Sidious is still at large and plotting his next move.

Overall, Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace is a thrilling adventure that introduces audiences to a new generation of characters while setting the stage for the events that will unfold in the rest of the Star Wars saga.

 

review

 

“Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace” is a polarizing film in the Star Wars franchise. Released in 1999, it was the first Star Wars film to hit theaters in 16 years and the beginning of the prequel trilogy. As a fan of the franchise, I have mixed feelings about this particular entry.

The plot centers around Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), who are sent on a mission to negotiate peace between two warring factions. Along the way, they encounter Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd), a young slave with special abilities who they believe could be the prophesied “Chosen One.” However, their journey is fraught with danger as they face off against mysterious enemies and dark forces that threaten the galaxy.

One of the strengths of “The Phantom Menace” is its visual effects. Director George Lucas spared no expense in creating an immersive world full of dazzling CGI creatures, breathtaking landscapes, and epic space battles. The action sequences are also thrilling and well-choreographed.

However, where the film falls short is in its writing and characterization. Many fans felt that some of the dialogue was stilted and wooden, particularly from Jake Lloyd’s portrayal of Anakin Skywalker. Additionally, some of the new characters introduced in this installment - such as Jar Jar Binks - were met with mixed reactions from audiences.

Another issue with “The Phantom Menace” is its pacing. Some scenes feel overly long or unnecessary, while others seem rushed or underdeveloped. This can make it difficult for viewers to fully engage with the story or connect with its characters.

Overall, “Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace” is a flawed but visually stunning addition to the franchise. While it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it still offers plenty of action and excitement for fans of the series.

As a child, I was moved by the movie “The Bad News Bears Go to Japan” where Japanese professional baseball players and American actors performed in front of a large audience. This made me fall in love with the movie. This blog is my review of the movie that I actually saw. Please use it as a reference when renting movies.

For a long time, in between housework,
I would go to the movie theater to watch films and then write reviews of the movies in a diary which I stored away in a closet.
When I showed these reviews to Azesan, he suggested turning them into a website.
I am grateful for this wonderful opportunity. I may be nearing the end of my life, but if reading my reviews can move the hearts of younger people,
I think that would be wonderful.
It may even become a catalyst for various realizations and changes in their lives moving forward.
