"*WHAT?* what? Did you say?"

15 years later and the Kelvin timeline still sucks.

The last good Star Trek film came out in 1996. Sad.

They should re-release Star Trek in theaters!

I cannot believe it's been 15 years!!

I hope they rerelease Revenge Of The Sith in theaters next year for the 20th anniversary.

A good video thanks Connor but I prefer star wars rather than star trek no offence 😊.

At the time this was my least favorite star wars movie. Now i think... 25 years and a sequel trilogy and garbage tv shows later, we were so spoiled for quality back then!

When this came out it was absolute magic

What can be said about this movie that hasn't been said to death? This is infamously the worst reviewed installment of the entire Star Wars saga after 25 years It’s crazy to believe it took 16 years to make another film after 'Return of the Jedi' and there was so much hype and excitement surrounding it from both fans and critics George Lucas came back to both write and direct taking the saga back to its origins utilizing the most advanced computer graphics technology as well as expanding the storytelling mythos Viewers would get to see the beginnings of Darth Vader, the Jedi Knights, and the Old Republic introducing new talents such as Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Ahmed Best, Ray Park, and newcomer Jake Llyod Then on opening day...the movie left 'an impression' that's for sure despite making $1.043 billion at the box office So many people were baffled this didn't feel like the Star Wars they grew up with whether it was the bad acting, the stilted dialogue, the wooden performances, the childish potty humor, the bureaucratic discussions, and the inherent racism Most notably the character of Jar Jar Binks was deemed the most hated character in Star Wars history being unfunny to borderline offensive Lloyd unfortunately would also be the subject of ridicule being a terrible actor as Anakin for years to come The pod racing sequence would either get people excited or viewed as being dull going on for an extended period of time given the film's length Even many have voiced their frustration with the concept of Midichlorians able to create life as most were used to the Force itself being a spiritual essence not being fully explained The prequels aren't well beloved like the older trilogy and viewed as taking away from the mythos over explaining like virgin births For all its issues though the film does excel with its action, special effects when it came to the world building, still providing many callbacks to the earlier films, and a flawless score by John Williams himself It stinks that actors like Best would deal with the after effects of the negative feedback nearly contemplating suicide and Lloyd's mental health suffering At least Lucas would get progressively better given the two films that followed and at the time closing the circle of storytelling in this beloved franchise There’s no denying it was more toyetic creating merchandise for kids mainly, more video games, and side stories in tv shows so it wouldn’t be the end of the series altogether No one will ever ignore the subculture of fans' backlash of 'Phantom Menace' even documentaries covering how controversial the phenomenon was That's how the fandom works now as the film’s wonky plot serves as a metaphor; you can complain all you want but at the end of the day it's time to move on

but seriously i wish there was a 3rd mode were all characters acted exactly how they would in smash 64 (side b removed, no up or down throws etc.) so that way it would be alot like smash 64 with a bigger cast think of it as like a new take on smash remix

Just got back from seeing it. Great nostalgia!

Felt like 1999 in the cinema

Just got home from seeing it. Last time i saw it was back in 99 with my dad. Felt like a kid agian seeing it. Hope they do the same with episode 2 and 3.

For many many years I always thought that Walt Disney and Lucasfilm should make a completely extended and restored cut of all of the live action Star Wars movies.

Duel of fates best theme ever

I think this always be my favourite one because it’s first I remember saw finally in cinema other day always remember ps1 game

STAR WARS THE PHANTOM MENACE 25TH ANNIVERSARY 1999-2024! MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

All the excitement and the HYPE for this movie and Trilogy 25 years ago…What a time to live and experience Star Wars…. If you were not there to experience it you really missed a great spot in time…. Everyone was so excited.. And now 😑. Over 3/4 of the true fandom despises the sequels and Star Wars in general. I am personally sad. I don’t think it can be saved…. People are just done with the bait and switch. What is so hard about giving 3/4 of the fan base what they want? “The journeys of Luke Skywalker “He’ll yea!!!! More Luke, More Vader, Heir to the Empire. Shadows of the empire. MARA JADE!!! . This was EASY!! So EASYYYYYY. And it was messed up with BILLIONS AND BILLIONS LEFT ON THE TABLE..

The pods race still one of the sickest scenes of entire sagas ❤

I saw the Phantom Menace today. It was in the same theater I first saw it in back in 1999.

🔥 🔥🔥

What they SHOULD have done, was to re-release the original, theatrical version, since that is one you can't get in HD or better...

I got to see it in theaters tonight with my brother. Missed the first few minutes but still a fun time. I've seen all the films at one point or another but seeing it on a proper BIG screen makes a fair bit of difference.

Why is the music playing so fucking slow

As beautiful as 25 years ago 🥺

Brings back memories of seeing it on the big screen.

Of all the great films from 1999 that could use a reissue, this is one best forgotten...

No puppet Yoda? Lol Would've been cool to be in 3D again too. Can't wait to see JarJar's tongue on the big screen

Seeing it May 4th! 🎉

This was my first outing with my friends to the movies at the mall by myself without mom and dad

Saw this as a kid on vhs. I'm happy to say im about to experience this on the big screen in my 20s 👌 😅

George Lucas’s Star Wars prequel trilogy, about how a republic falls to authoritarianism and loses liberty after a false flag attack and a war orchestrated by corrupt institutions, came out between 1999-2005. The man warned us.

I remember the first time I saw the Phantom Menace. Twenty minutes into it the entire row in front of me got up and walked out. It was one of the scariest flights I've ever been on!

That's a really good trailer and one of my favourite first star wars films.

That sync with Duel, and the droidekas was *chef kiss* perfect.

they should play all of them in theaters in chronological order , rogue one and all

This is basically " Duel of the Fates is the greatest thing ever".

Im blown away dude, this is so good, I am stiff as a board, I love it

This is not the trailer from 1999.. Yoda was a puppet.

Excellent trailer. My personal favorite Star Wars prequel film

I hope eliminate the ja jar scenes in this movie

Good trailer, still a boring movie

Okay, but may is not summer.

0:03 classic 1999 backdrop right here. Got that windows XP vibes.

Boss Nass. Qui Gon Jinn. Darth Maul. Three great characters virtually unseen after this.😢

Omg go back 25 years no youtube no social media as such(msn) hearing little drips of a new star wars getting my sony Ericsson k800 all my mates standing round goosesbumps upon goosebumps oh my the world doesnt know what this movie did!

Exciting edit. MTFBWY
