Can you do some alien language for jar jar Binks and the other binks so that way it will not be annoying
This is amazing!
The most important scene is Darth Plagueis going after Anakin and Plagueis vs Sidious 🎉🎉. 😢😢😢😢, I shame we have only seen in the book
Jar 🏺 Jar 🫙: Yikes 😱
I think they should have kept the scene where he gives the credits to the old woman and then the probe droid appears, it adds to the tragedy of Anakin going from being a really kind boy to being twisted by the Dark Side. It also explains why they were running.
I was hoping they would add that scene back in the 2012 3D re-release but obviously they didn't.
Yes, it would have came back full circle as they had an interaction earlier and the only scene out of all of these that the acting is not atrocious.
One of those deleted scenes that wouldve provided better context. I hate when they’re removed, the final product definitely doesn’t make sense as it looks random.
@@himynameiscorey There's a good reason why they are removed, they slow down the pace of the film. That scene with the old woman and the probe droid wouldn't have hurt but the movie is better off without all the other scenes from this video.
Well said.
Never occurred to me to wonder why Anakin and Qui Gon are running back to the ship after all these years
Holy shit they did that lizard podracer sooooo dirty, his wife just got out of the hospital, they have 2 young kids and one baby, and he fucking blows up like second lap
was thinking the same.. no wonder they left it out
What's even more tragic is, he was the only victim of the race... And people still think this is a kids movie ?
@@WestLegend03 Well, it's a Disney movie now. It makes sense that a parent would die.
He is also one of only TWO confirmed deaths from that race. Him and an unseen podracer, Neva Kee, are the only ones who died on that race that day. EVERYONE ELSE SURVIVED, no matter how lethal their ends looked.
@WestLegend03 star wars was made for 12 year olds. 12 year olds are still kids, and most people watched this movie younger than that. Star Wars has always been for kids quit being edgy
And just like that, Alderaan signed it's own death warrant.
😬 oh no.
Boom.
Greedo accused Ani of cheating, yet we saw Sebulba constantly cheating and playing dirty throughout the whole race.
The Roman-esque style of the Alderaan people would have been a cool look, kind of fits into the lore of Alderaan being one of the core founders of the Republic.
This is the first time that I have seen Bail Antilles, Queen Breha Organa’s father, Bail Organa’s father-in-law, and Princess Leia’s adoptive grandfather.
I don't think that is on the DVD or Blu ray so it's nice to see that. Didn't realize Bail Organa was son in law to Bail Antilles.
same here!
I remember seeing a cast list many years ago with Adrian Dunbar named as playing Bail Antilles. I always wondered why it wasn't Organa.
The childhood greedo cameo is strangely heartbreaking
exatly! dang! :(
@@MrShinnickNethyou miss the part where Wald calls the Rodian Anakin was beating up “Greedo”? It’s so dumb, thank goodness they cut it
I member him.
@MrShinnickNi think they mean the cameo near 10th minute. Definitely was Greedo.
@@MrShinnickNethgo to 9:55
They should have kept the scene with Greedo. Our generation needed a lesson like that before entering the hellscape of internet comment sections 😂
Yooooooooo 😂
Qui-Gon's lesson rang so true. Timeless wisdow that should have been kept in
Truth lol
nah that scene was awful
The lesson you needed was dont post dumbshit and no one will have the opportunity to tell you how lame it is.
They could've given us these for the 25th anniversary
I want an official 3 hour cut version of each prequel. They deserve it.
Yeah it’s a shame they didn’t add these in
Man you're legend for restoring them. Kinda wished that Jocasta Nu and Obi-Wan talking about Dooku in Jedi Temple happened in the final version of the movie
Wrong movie but sure
That's the second movie lol
Yeah that was an incredibly informative scene that would have made the whole movie more interesting… what was Lucas thinking
@@TheMouse-gc9ftthe question I ask whenever I think about the making of the prequels
You mean the one where it sounds like Jocasta Nu had the hots for Dooku?
That one guys family has to watch in agony as their patriarch dies in a fatal podracing crash. I mean his wife just got out the hospital from having a baby
Thats what stood out to me too like that's sad.
Even in real life F1 races are like that, they're extremely fast and very dangerous
And some of the racers don't even live to come out from those fiery crashes alive, but they still race even despite the risks
Man, I now feel so sad for the pod racer who tragically died in the race, leaving his wife and kids behind
I always laughed when he crashed now I feel bad about it lmao
George going with some dark humor there
I thought they were going to at least walk onto the line to cross the river.
Also, Jar-Jar being afraid just to susequently swim with ease to the shore confirms the "Darth Jar-Jar" theory.
He's an aquatic creature.
@@jumhed994 I know, and he does too.
I want a new canon episode vii where it's revealed Jar Jar was behind everything the whole time. What his plan would be at this point is an open question. Ooh! I already know. He would present himself as a Jedi to gain Luke's trust. I don't know enough about the Legends' storyline to suppose how it would fit in after that
Darth JAR 🏺 JAR 🫙: Boo 👻
They should have at least left in the scene where they are walking along and Qui-Gon cuts down the probe droid. That gives so much context as to why they are all of a sudden running to their ship all stressed out.
Man, I love this movie
Me too
I think I now know what Anakin meant when he said Sebulba flashed him with his vents.
I wish they kept that in but it was pretty hardcore so I get why they had to cut it
@@nailinthefashionit also explains why they were running to the ship when they were ambushed by Maul.
11:20 i’m gonna be honest the Alderon costumes look pretty good,they look like a society that would have a princess you know?works.
Bail Antilles even posed like a Spanish matador before speaking
Feels like a part of our childhood that was missing AND i love It. I saw the extended versions not long ago and i was so confused i thought I was crazy then I realized It was the extended version hahaha
Wait where can you get the extended edition
@@TheShowmanMovies pinned comment and description
Aside from the first one, all of these should have been in the film! More intense podracing and emotional moments with Anakin? Yes please!
You already Got an expanded podrace in the film - what you Saw on dvd and all future releases had some scenes added back to the race that was not in the theatrical showings
For Bail Antilles’s scene, I think the lighting makes it obvious that it was a deleted scene. Maybe if we artificially darkened the colors with iMovie, it would look less fake.
I tried several approaches, but in the end there are limits to what works without it being reshot from scratch entirely. I can live with it looking slightly out of place since it's only 3 shots long.
@@MechaSalesman I find it interesting that this scene looks as if it could have been ripped right out of the original trilogy. The lighting is so spot on 70s Star Wars and I love it.
It looks very ~60s era Technicolor
Bro the music that played when the ship fell being the same as Darth Maul’s fall at the end of the movie is so goddamn hilarious
That was by far the most pointless scene... but that observation indeed makes it so damn funny that it almost justifies its existence.
Why take Gods name in vain though?
7:28 did anyone else feel horrible for the little creature that got its head bit off by Jabba?
And the little chicken-creature that Jabba pushed away to fall to it´s death
@@GanteSpruce that too
ESPECIALLY when you get a camera shot at 7.22 from Jabba's point of view BRINGING it to his mouth!!
I wish predation didn't exist and all the carnivores ate fake meat.
Imagine the scene with Greedo like this: Qui Gon arrives and separates the two kids, then asks "Who started?" and they both point to each other while saying at the same time "Him!".
More of a spoof movie scene, but still.
So not only did Anakin Skywalker build C-3PO, he also got into a tussle with a young Greedo. Yoda knew Chewbacca, Luke and Leia are brother and sister, and we were mercifully spared the spectacle of a pre-adolescent Han Solo turning up at the battle of Kasshyk in Revenge of the Sith. For a galaxy that it takes light speed to navigate, the Star Wars universe seems awfully small.
I had watched another fan's edit a long time ago but it didn't have the senator. The full pod race is actually brutal made even moreso without music and spending time introducing all the racers and especial when Ratts Tyerell's cute family and newborn and kid playing with Sebulba's pod racer toy then he crashes in a fireball.
I love that authentic NASCAR vibe
With the exception of the waterfall scene, all the rest should have been kept. Introducing the entire racing roster would have sold more of the games/toys as well - strange decision to cut all those awesome characters haha. Mars Guo crew in Ep.I racer for N64 btw.
5:04 Cantina Band
They should have kept the scene with Greedo and the one with Qui Gon slicing the droid probe, as the latter would better explain why he and Anakin were running towards Amidala's ship.
Agreed! Only good scenes in my opinion.
Yeah I get it they removed these scenes to shorten the runtime but some of these are short and are important to the story
Meesa really hoped that Jar Jar had just died on the waterfall.
😒
Pity the waterfall sequence was cut, especially as I love the shot 1:18-1:30.
They should’ve at least kept the Naboo Castle shot in, you never really get to see how it looks from the outside, they could’ve even kept the waterfall part out and just showed them walking up to the castle
Qui-Gon Jinn:"You just have to tolerate his opinion,
Fight it will not change it."
Me:"Because Tolerance is far greater,better and stronger than Anger and Hate."
Thank you for the important lesson Master Qui-Gon.
unbelievable cant believe they cut this stuff out smh crazy thank you! wild stuff! look at poor jar jar LMAO :D i like star wars a lot grew up with star wars a lot\!
This looks so awesome
it actually does look authentic in hindsight, after years and years of disney dogshit
young darth vader, meet greedo the bounty hunter!
Wanna pizza roll?
I believe Greedo was never a bounty hunter and was more of a henchman or under Jabba's payroll.
Anakin Episode 1: (To Kitster) "I wont be long"
Anakin Episode 2: (To Padme) "I wont be long"
Just kinda cool hearing a common phase said by two actors of the same character. Helps to establish personality consistency.
some simple(ish) changes I’d had made to _TPM:_
- have the movie start with the invasion of Naboo, not right before it.
- have Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan on their own ship get shot down and crash in the swamps, rather than having he whole scene on the Trade Federation ship.
- Jar Jar would be introduced similarly, but save the reveal of Gunga City for later when they go to the Gungans for help in the battle, and probably cut out all the Bongo and giant fish monster scenes, as fun as those are.
- have an extended sequence of the Jedi and the Queen and friends trying to escape Naboo, and have Darth Maul make his first appearance there, so it’s like he’s stalking them throughout the whole movie.
- make their need to go to Tatooine and their meeting of Anakin more organic, and less of just a plot necessity… 🤷🏻♂️
- and same for their decision to return to Naboo from Coruscant… they accomplished nothing on Coruscant other than getting Palpatine elected as Chancellor… which was part of Palpatine’s plan I’m sure, but why did the Queen et al. need to flee there, if they could’ve defeated the Trade Federation with a relatively small force to begin with?
…this comment started out as some changes I’d have made in the editing room if I’d had the privilege, but it for out of hand… so why not just make Anakin older, and already a Padawan at the start of the movie, while I’m at it?
The Phantom Menace is a Masterpiece.

The Phantom Menace is a masterpiece and an important movie in the Star Wars universe. The Phantom Menace lays the foundations for the Star Wars universe. From the Galactic Republic to the Jedi, Sith and Padawans, the film plunges us into a rich and complex world. It also introduces iconic characters such as Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala and, of course, Anakin Skywalker. The movie tackles profound and important themes such as politics, corruption, power and destiny. For example, the rise of the Trade Federation and its blockade of Naboo illustrate the struggle for control and political manipulation. The Phantom Menace is above all the story of Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one destined to bring balance to the Force. His introduction as a young slave on Tatooine to his meeting with Qui-Gon Jinn represents the beginning of his journey into light and darkness. The movie is packed with memorable, iconic scenes. From the pod race on Tatooine to the final duel between Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Darth Maul, and the epic battle of Naboo, every sequence is carefully orchestrated. The Phantom Menace also expands the saga's universe by introducing new worlds, races, technologies and concepts. The planet Naboo, for example, offers a striking contrast to the more austere settings of Tatooine and Coruscant, while the Gungans, Dugs and Toydarians bring a new dimension to the livelier, more populated and more diverse Star Wars universe. The menacing shadow of the Sith hangs over the entire movie, foreshadowing Darth Sidious's rise to power and Anakin's ascent to the dark side of the Force, giving full meaning to the title of The Phantom Menace. The presence of Darth Maul embodies this imminent threat and adds a dimension of danger. George Lucas draws on many religious traditions to shape the Star Wars universe, and The Phantom Menace is no exception. The Jedi are warrior monks who follow a strict moral code and are dedicated to protecting peace and justice in the galaxy. Their belief in the Force, a mystical energy that permeates everything, reflects concepts of spirituality and universal connection. For example, the scene in which Qui-Gon explains the Force to Anakin is imbued with an almost religious atmosphere, reinforcing the importance of this belief in the Star Wars universe.
The Phantom Menace highlights the dangers of a corrupt and manipulative government that controls the masses to serve its own interests. The Trade Federation, under the influence of Darth Sidious, imposes a blockade on Naboo to force Queen Amidala to sign an unjust treaty. This political and economic manipulation recalls real-life themes of tyranny and oppression, giving the movie a profound social resonance. The pod race on Tatooine is one of the most memorable sequences in The Phantom Menace. Beyond the spectacular action, this scene symbolizes adventure and self-transcendence. Anakin, a young slave, defies expectations and takes risks to save his family and fulfill his destiny. The race is a mixture of adrenalin, suspense and courage, showing the determination and talent of our future hero. The Phantom Menace also offers an epic adventure in a futuristic setting, with interstellar travel, advanced technologies and exotic worlds. This combination of science fiction and classic adventure is reminiscent of George Lucas's signature narrative style. The film's visual universe, from the sprawling cities of Coruscant to the arid deserts of Tatooine, is immersive and captivating, transporting viewers to a distant galaxy full of possibilities. The Phantom Menace also lays the foundations for the prophecy of the chosen one, a central concept in the Star Wars saga. Anakin Skywalker is presented as the chosen one destined to bring balance to the Force. His introduction as a young slave on Tatooine to his meeting with Qui-Gon Jinn represents the beginning of his journey towards fulfilling this prophecy. For example, the scene in which Qui-Gon recognizes Anakin's exceptional potential and decides to take him under his wing evokes the theme of destiny and the inescapable fate of the chosen one. The Phantom Menace explores the complexities of political power and manipulation. The rise of the Trade Federation under the influence of Darth Sidious and its blockade of Naboo trigger a political crisis that threatens the stability of the Galactic Republic. This complex political intrigue, with its shifting alliances and secret maneuvers, gives the movie a depth and relevance that resonates with real-world problems. The Phantom Menace establishes many coherent links with the original Star Wars trilogy, enriching the saga as a whole. For example, the introduction of Darth Sidious as Senator Palpatine lays the foundations for his rise to power and transformation into a tyrannical emperor in subsequent episodes. Similarly, Qui-Gon Jinn's mentoring of Obi-Wan Kenobi foreshadows the master-apprentice relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin that plays a central role in the rest of the saga.
Star Wars The Phantom Menace is much more than a science-fiction film for George Lucas. It's a deeply personal work that reveals his recurring themes, his malaise, his past experiences and his political convictions. To understand it, you also need to understand George Lucas' background.
First of all, the theme of the struggle against oppression and tyranny is omnipresent in George Lucas' work.
In THX 1138, George Lucas depicts a dystopian society where the government exercises totalitarian control over the population, a theme that is also found in The Phantom Menace. In both films, this control is embodied by an authoritarian regime that closely monitors its citizens, creating a climate of fear and oppression. In THX 1138, this surveillance is manifested through security cameras and flying drones, while in The Phantom Menace, it takes place through corrupt government bodies, such as the Galactic Senate infiltrated by Palpatine.
What's more, in both films, citizens are subjected to tight control over their emotions and behavior. In THX 1138, inhabitants are forced to take drugs to suppress their emotions, while in The Phantom Menace, Jedi are forced to follow the Jedi code, which forbids them to express emotions such as anger and passion. This control of emotions reflects the government's desire to maintain order and stability at all costs, even at the expense of individual freedom.
Moreover, in both films, individual freedom is stifled by a system of strict control. In THX 1138, inhabitants are assigned to specific jobs and roles in society, with no possibility of choice or autonomy. Similarly, in The Phantom Menace, the Jedi are assigned to specific missions and are subject to the authority of the Jedi Council. This lack of personal freedom reinforces the government's control over the population and creates a sense of powerlessness and despair among the inhabitants.
The parallels between The Phantom Menace and THX 1138 demonstrate the continuity of George Lucas' preoccupations with totalitarian control and government oppression across different contexts and fictional universes. These recurring themes illustrate George Lucas's insight as a filmmaker and his commitment to exploring the dangers of authoritarianism and the loss of individual freedom.
George Lucas' concern about the rise of authoritarian regimes during the Cold War is reflected in both films, illustrating his belief that individual freedom is fragile and must be protected against the forces of oppression and tyranny.
The characters in The Phantom Menace are not simply fictional archetypes, but deep reflections of George Lucas's own internal struggles. Anakin Skywalker, in particular, embodies the torments and dilemmas George Lucas felt throughout his life.
Anakin Skywalker faces a multitude of inner challenges that resonate with George Lucas' own struggles. First of all, Anakin is tormented by his inner demons, notably his fear of failure and his need for recognition. As a filmmaker, George Lucas has often expressed his own struggle with insecurity and self-doubt. Anakin thus represents this universal quest for self-acceptance and understanding, a theme that George Lucas explores profoundly through the character.
What's more, George Lucas has often said that he felt like an outsider in the film industry, trying to make a place for himself in a world that was foreign to him. Anakin, too, is an outsider, a freed slave who finds himself immersed in a world of Jedi knights and galactic politicians. His desire to fit in and find his place in this new universe mirrors George Lucas' own struggles to find his way in the film industry.
In addition, George Lucas' childhood had a major influence on his work, particularly his interest in fairy tales and mythological stories. These themes are omnipresent in the Star Wars universe, and are particularly explored in The Phantom Menace. The character of Qui-Gon Jinn, for example, embodies the archetypal mentor, guiding Anakin through his heroic journey. George Lucas' fascination with mythological tales is also evident in the struggle between good and evil, a central theme of The Phantom Menace and the entire Star Wars saga.
The film also explores George Lucas' political convictions, expressing them through the complex political intrigues of Star Wars. Corruption in the Galactic Senate and the rise of autocracy echo George Lucas' concerns about democracy and political accountability. He uses the Star Wars universe as a metaphor to explore the dangers of political passivity and mass manipulation.
9:14-11:04
Should have stayed in film, Especially Kid Greedo, Kid Greedo would have been been a cameo for phantom meance 🤷♂️
He was still in the film just not as much
so cool man
I haven't seen some of these. Crazy.
Thank God these were removed. THe whole pod race scene drags on and on. Probaby could cut that out too.
I'm actually glad they didn't keep the extended pod racer introductions, some of those characters look way too goofy and the CGI isn't very good.
They look unfinished. They probably cut them to polish the rest. You can tell the pods especially look unfinished, not to mention the racers are kinda smooth.
You missed the scene where anakin arrives back to naboo
This is an unused deleted scene
5:15 Droid Three Stooges
All these need to be added back in
They shouldve left the scene with greedo in, it shows the seeds of intolerance and arrogance from Ani.
this is actually really funny how the royal palace doesn't have fances at the end of the waterfall
Why were they holding the line in water instead of force jumping lmao
I wish they’d have kept the scenes of Sebulba’s hidden weapons. I always thought that made the whole sport that much more dynamic. We heard that the sport was cutthroat and shady, but outside of a few sideswipes and light sabotage, we never really saw any evidence of it being that bad. Like if literally anyone had been guarding the pod before the start of the race Sebulba wouldn’t have even been able to get close to it. The flamethrowers were there to keep anybody from passing him.
Despite the Greedo name drop I loved that scene of the fight between the boys. Further development for Qui-Gon as a father figure for Anakin and the first one he's had. The Phantom Menace suffered most from missing development of Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Anakin as an adoptive family that tragically falls apart.
If only Jar Jar had stayed in the bongo for just a few more seconds 😂
I would have kept the scenes with Anakin punching Greedo and talking to that old women, and when Qui-Gonn and Anakin first discover the probedroid and start running back to the ship because they add something to Anakin's character and explain why he and Qui-Gonn were already running when Maul tried to mow them down. But the others run on too long without adding much.
The deleted scenes really help flesh out the whole papa qui gon thing
Having these scenes would have made this dog's breakfast of a movie even more so.
The Phantom Menace is a masterpiece
underrated scenes
Picture quality is better than my bluray. I love a hood upscale, volour depth seems to increase and things just look better than even the native hi def image.
Alderaan this is going to end up blowing up in your face.
Imagine you are an extra in a Star Wars film and think that this could be the perfect springboard for your career... and the very scene in which you appear and perhaps have a line is cut out😅🤣
The prope droid scene definately should be in the movie
Sebulba's flame trap is cool I woulda liked to have that included
Now _this_ is podracing!
Is that Adrian Dunbar ?
I had a an action figure of those droids sent out to pick up the scraps from the pods but never knew what it was for or where it was in the movie.
That famous bail antilles
7:26 Is that Warwick Davis? Had no idea he was in the movie.
Yes, that is in fact, Warwick Davis.
Hmmm. The first scene is superfluous, unnecessary drama with the transport being destroyed. I think they cut the racer being hooked up scene due to awkward transitioning - does explain where Anakin and Padme were before Watto and quigon bargaining for Anakin freedom scene and answer why they had the camel looking things. Think it’s more important for Anakin and Padme character development that should’ve stayed in if trimmed down - shows Anakin stayed up all night working to get the pod racer in fighting shape, his dedication/probably concern seeing it thru, adds to Padmes concern when later hearing he’s never finished a race with seeing this prior understanding of Anakin efforts on their behalf. Adds to bonding Padme/Anakin a bit. The podracing extended scenes don’t add much - maybe seeing other way sebulba cheated and other racer death otherwise we’re better off without that.
The Greedo tie in was unnecessary for Greedo name, Anakin fighting being called a cheater with how blatant sebulba was cheating… Ironic. Does add a bit character giving into frustrations, kinda normal response but also what Anakin often defaults to… I think with the other kid we saw who was a jerk, with a little more meat to the scene would,be worked fine, it seems like a half baked scene from what we see here. The probe droid and Anakin talking with the old woman (was she ever named?) should’ve been kept, shows more effectively maul finding them and quigon realizing they’re being chased (without it in theatrical cut a,ways wondered how quigon knew) and adds to the drama of the chase scene, and seeing Anakins character just a kind boy giving money to the lady, that’s character development. Could name a lot of scenes, jar jar, that would prefer removed instead of that.
They really ought to have kept that last scene with the Alderaanian Senator seconding the no confidence motion.
How ironic that Alderaan seconds the very motion that brought the galaxy the eventual emperor palpatine; who’s regime would eventually blast their planet to atoms
John Williams is goat.
Amazing stuff. By any chance is there a cut of ROTS that just has the deleted scenes edited in?
The intro of all the pilots was really funny
If people want me to get back interest in Star Wars and not hate Gungans... give me an underwater battle.
Aww, the little blue guy had a family
The Greedo scene needed to be left in 👏🏼
11:19 if they kept that guy in the movie they'd probably get banned in Thailand, perhaps that's why they cut the scene.
Is he an enemy to the country?
why?? who give af bout Thailan
@@emiliobello2538 I think he's a lookalike to the royal family.
@@stevenm2699 Kashyyk shots of Rots were filmed there so before that they probably wouldn't want to lose a potential filming location
So are these AI upscaled or just regular upscaled? I ripped the deleted scenes from my DVD's to my HDD (so sad we never got HD versions of the deleted scenes on the BD) and I think the direct rips I've got look about as good as these versions. What source did you use when upscaling. I could share the deleted rips from my DVD's they are about 3 gigs for 15 mins of footage so it's top quality 480p that would be best for basing an upscale on. BTW great work and many thanks for making these extended edits of the PT and Clone Wars and Ep 4.
10:28 - you my favorite customer, Ani
Day should have keep all the deleted scenes
why did the special effects from Episode 1 look so much better than those from Episode 2? Especially the composite shots in the sand. The secenes from Geonosis.......the characters feet don't seem to touch the ground.
Because Episode 1 was shot on film in real places and sets. Episode 2 was almost all digital in and filmed in giant blue screen sound stages.
@5:04 the band standing up to play with the instruments nowhere near their faces and their fingers moving at totally the wrong time
They missed their chance to be done with Jar Jar at the waterfall...
No
I can see why they cut the part at 11:19, but just like most of the prequel trilogy, the concept was spectacular. The thing is… this is Bail Antilles of Alderaan giving the second of Amidala’s motion. He was later nominated for the chancellor position competing against a representative from Malastare and Palpatine.
The irony is that this motion that he seconded is what led to the rise of Palpatine, who would eventually give rise to an empire that would destroy Alderaan, Antilles’ home planet.
That’s what the political plot line of the Phantom Menace is all about; if the right people don’t make a decision, the wrong people will make it for them.
George Lucas's Star Wars prequel trilogy is a pure masterpiece, a wonderful, magnificent, exciting, significant, and extremely rich work that has greatly contributed to the story, universe, characters, lore, and mythology of Star Wars.

more evidence of darth jar jar
Do you also plan on doing this with Episode III?
1:07 same bgm with Darth Maul falling
Dumb question: This version is not the Bobson Dugnutt´s Extended Cut? or Dazman´s Improved Edition?
I don't think so.
I think the introduction of the racers, the Jawa scene, and the Greedo scenes should have stayed. I agree with everything else getting cut.
Wait, how would they have gotten up on top of a river on a Mesa? There's no way the underground rivers could be that big that far up.
I remember a few of these.. were they ever released or am I crazy
Hello, could I use any of your cuts of movies to make my own, including the deleted scenes? Of course I would give you credit for it.
“Oooteenieeee!” 😃
how many minutes is extended version of the phantom menece
About 2 hours and 23 minutes.
Should’ve let us see more of Theed Palace
So bad we were soooo close...
Ooof Max Tyrell’s whole family was there to watch him explode >.
S many scenes should have remained. Especially when Qui-gon slices the probe droid in half
oh my fav scene is the first one and anakin beats up a rodian xD
So QuiGon vs Darth Maul on Tatooine isn't on this extended edition?
The podracer startup has to be my favorite sequence in the prequels, minus the goofy shit like Jar Jar and Quadranaros
Rewatching the senate scene with the alderan senator, a woman is dressed like leia, typical of alderan woman. Love that nod.
