Just to share the story - this was back in the day where we had 56K dial-up. I waited six hours for one trailer to load, screamed at my dad to come watch with me, and I just remember being blown away by seeing the grass moving as the CGI ships moved along the battlefield. At the time, that was very much "Holy shit you can -do- that?" My dad got me a Darth Maul standup that Christmas and I could never put it up in my room because it was just a liiiittle to creepy in the dark. This is also the week a stray dog came to my door that we named Chewie. She lived until 2014. So even if the movie is pretty bleh overall, there are some really good things with it. And that's not touching how the use of CGI and Lucasfilm's experimentation with effects became Hollywood standards.

I only discovered this channel due to a random RUclips recommendation of the forgotten Obiwan game on Xbox. Lucky non of my subs uploaded anything that day
The separation from the rest of the series is exactly why I liked PM. I really liked the movie being a "a glimpse at the galaxy in peacetime." It's only movie where you see the Jedi actually being the Monk-Cops they're meant to be. It gives you an idea of how radical a change the Clone Wars became.

I think the biggest problem with TPM, and the reason it was so hated when it released, is that they were advertising it to existing Star Wars fans, when really it's a kids' movie and back then all the Star Wars fans were teenagers or older--way too old to enjoy TPM. They really hyped that movie to death, too, so they really were setting themselves up for a huge backlash. Actually, that's more the problem with how it was released. The actual problem with TPM is that George needed someone to help him write and direct, but apparently he approached three different directors and they all turned him down because it would have been too much pressure trying to live up to the phenomenon that Star Wars had become, so he directed it himself. Yeah, watching them all these years later, they're still nowhere near as good as the OT, but at least they got made--back then we didn't think we were EVER getting any more Star Wars movies. And on the bright side, they laid the groundwork for Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch, Mandalorian, Boba Fett, and more!

The hype and marketing around the prequels was so amazing. The episode 1 Pepsi cans, the episode 2 go gurt tubes, and all the great video games around episode 3
I love this movie, when i watched It for the First Time i was a Little kid waiting to Watch episode 7, there was a Channel that only Aired star wars movies before Ep 7 and Ep 1 was the second One i watched After 4, i Just loved maul and the podracing, also i used to play the complete saga on iPad and episodes 1 and 4 were the only ones i had and i played them over and over
This movie gave us Duel of the Fates. I grew up with the prequels, they gave me my love of Star Wars, that fight with Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Maul was just *french kiss*
I was 6 when episode one came out, and I was also Darth Maul that Halloween. Are I am your brother? What's your maternal grandmoms maiden name? What was the name of your first pet? What are the last 4 of your SSN?
Thanks for this video, Junko. Only just found your channel and you put in a ton of damn work into every single video. Sorry the RUclips gods didn't deem you worthy until now. I honestly get AVGN vibes watching your stuff. Hope you keep making stuff because you'll surely be a staple of premium RUclips content in due time.
I am 30 years older than you & when I saw Phantom Menance, I knew it was the unfiltered vision of Lucas- his true homage to the Flash Gordon serials. I was actually far more disappointed by Attack Of The Clones. I agree also that the Prequels were flawed. But they were also chock full of world building & vision that the Sequels never even approached except by aping the OT.

These videos are great stuff. I'm so glad I saw your comments on videos by other creators that I like because I don't think the algorithm would have ever offered your stuff to me. I'm subbed to a ton of gaming channels and even several Star Wars channels and you have both here! Way to go Al Gore Rhythm.
1:22 I was two years old when The Phantom Menace was released, but I never saw this film until around 2009 and 2010, when I got a VHS copy of the film when I was about to enter into my teenage years.
I remember seeing it in cinemas as a 10 year old and in 3D in 2012 and still feels great and had so much hype for it in 1999 and the problems it had and out dated seeing it in 4K now
What really hurt the prequels is that we all had our own predisposed idea of how Anakin became Vader. If they had released the movies in order, we would have had so much more involvement in the story as we learned about this random little kid was seen as a potential Jedi candidate, and eventually his downfall, we cue the idea that Anakin becomes Vader, ending the movie without actually showing him, and as we see him for the first time in A New Hope, we finally feel the power he has. That also allows the dramatic irony that Luke doesn't know who Vader is, to have that real impact of him finally realizing it. Granted that surprising twist is iconic, but if we had it pay out chronologically, it would have so much more impact.
I've had a love/meh relationship with ep 1. I think part of the problem was me filling in the backstory in my head during the gap between the OT and PT and how jarring the movie was to my head cannon. Still, it's my favorite of the prequels and now I appreciate its ambitious scale that must have been daunting g for Lucas to undertake. Great job.

As an adult I individually apologized to both of my parents for all the times they had to watch Phantom Menace as I was growing up Still love the prequels though, it's really hard to describe now how nuts it was as a kid that a _new_ Star Wars was coming out. That sadly doesn't mean much anymore
I was 4 when this came out and it’s my earliest theater memories ever. My parents took me to see it like 3 times I swear, and as a kid I thought it was for me, which was weird because I wasn’t like super super into it, but now that I’m older, I realize it was just my dad wanting to see it over and over again lol I also got a lot of badass Ep.1 toys, man what a time
There’s this weird thing with this movie where Star Wars fans insist it’s one of the most hated films of all time, and even though I have a similar take as you, I love it but think a lot of it’s also bad, I think most non-star wars fans who watch it just see it once and go “yeah, that was fine, that was fun.”

I was 9 years old when the phantom menace came out. It got me 100% hooked on Star Wars. I grew up with the prequels. I skipped school for the Clone Wars. I went to the Revenge of the Sith midnight premiere, dressed in my Jedi robe, and my best friend dressed in his sith robe. Our moms let us skip school again and we saw it 4 times the first 2 days. Some of the best memories of my life are thanks to Star Wars. Star Wars is basically nonexistent to me thanks to the sequels.
I still remember going to the opening week of each of the prequels with like 15 members of my family. No matter what you think of the prequels you have to acknowledge that they were made with love and care for the story. in my opinion the worst and most cringe scene in attack of the clones is still better than 95% of the fan films Disney made. But if you love them, well tbh im more jealous of you than anything. I really wish i could enjoy the sequels half as much as the prequels. I just cant
Star Wars fan did the same thing when they harassed Kelly Marie Tran, the actress that played Rose Tico in The Last Jedi. You can dislike a movie and even dislike an actor/actress but you’re not allowed to bully them until they contemplate suicide or even leave the film industry. Sadly Star Wars fans I’ve found are so toxic that I refuse to say I’m a Star Wars fan cos I refuse to be lumped in with them
this is late but, don't be afraid to admit you're a fan of ANYTHING because of the actions of a few people that identify with you. It's a big world, lot of people. Be confident with who you like, be unapologetically yourself. If someone isn't experienced enough to separate individuals from a mob, they need some time before communicating in a global format like the internet.
Damn, I love the prequels, and as much as I understand the criticism as an adult now, I still love TPM and the Gungans. Yes, I love the OT, but I'll always love the PT
The thing that really elevates The Phantom Menace for me is the fact that it used a lot of actual practical effects and sets when compared to the other prequels. It still has all the bad acting, bad writing, and nonsensical plot points, but the fact that it’s more than just actors greenscreened into a video game is what really makes it for me. It helps that the cg in Episode 1 is way better than the other two prequels.

When I watched Phantom Menace for the first time, I was around eight. It was the first Star Wars movie I had ever seen and I decided I was not going to watch any more of them. It took me five years to watch the rest of them. So, basically I had the opposite experience. But hey! That just makes it more interesting to hear what the experiences of someone who felt the opposite way were like.

1999 was also when lego star wars became a thing, and in addition to the pod racing game there was a phantom menace game that was really good as well, so as a 12 year old kid all of those coming together made it so fun, even with its faults, its still fun, I had just seen the special edition 2 years prior as well, so kid hype was there, and CGI was so new it was fascinating to watch jar jar just on a technical level, always loved the pod race scene, my only gripe with George is not being cool about the 'unfinished' 'original' version, he should just have them both available like how Blade Runner, LOTR, Alien and all the rest have both theatrical and extended versions available

I was born in 1991 so the experience you spoke of 1 minute for me was episode 2. I rmember the 6 months before episode 1's release all the video game magaziines I read were losing their shit with hype. Nintendo Power, Electronic Gaming Monthly and Gamepro were loaded with articles reviewing old games and showing previews for Star Wars Battle For Naboo(A hidden gem playing in the same style as the Rouge Squadron games).
I just watched it again from my original Lucas era Blu-ray box set in my huge TV. Don't remember when was the last time I watched any Star Wars related thing. Probably it's been years... After we saw so many shitty product from Disney, I decided to stay away from that garbage. But lately I heard about new shows, returning the prequel era actors etc. and decided to start again. I have to say, Episode I is a masterpiece for me now. I know it's not perfect but It was way better than I remembered. First of all, it was FUN! I really enjoyed while I watching it again. It felt like I'm watching Star Wars! 24 years later! And this is the thing that Disney never gives after Rogue One.
Let's be real, we don't have to dance around the fact these prequels are better looked at now, because Disney made those terrible sequel movies that... Really makes you miss George Lucas as the director behind these films. Also, midichlorians aren't actually how a person obtains the force themselves at all, but instead is more of a micro-organism that is attracted to those sensitive to the force, and because of that, yes, it's a tool for discovering how powerful Jedi and Sith are. I honestly was never bugged by it, because I understand how it was explained, and thus never thought it was boiled down to an X-Men genetic lottery instead.

To this day, the Phantom Menace is my favorite of the prequels (There was even a time I said it was my favorite Star Wars Movie period). I saw it at a young age and was enamored by the visuals, I thought Jar Jar was funny and the final battle was was the most epic thing I had seen at that time. I remember saying Attack of the Clones was my favorite because "cool looking stormtroopers, but good guys now", but looking back, I that was the only part I wanted to see, the rest of the movie was boring, anikin didnt do anything except mushy romance, and was basically a completely different character from the first one. I didn't even see episode 3 till years later in my teens, and I honestly felt nothing from that movie. I loved the Clone Wars Tv show to death, but always noiced how very different the tone felt compared to the movies. I though it weird all the things they added that where never brought up in the live action movies (obviously because the show came after, duh). That was the start of my critical view of Star Wars. Getting involved with online communities, I quickly learned the disdain for the prequels. I subsequently got caught up in the hate and felt obligated to rage over their awfulness. I convinced myself that the prequels "killed Star Wars" that the character Jar Jar was the worse than a Nazi, and Gorge Lucas wanted Star Wars fans to suffer. I felt that way up until the Force Awakens. I had believed that The Force Awakens would "save Star Wars" and make Gorge regret he ever sold it. But when those credits rolled, I found I didn't really like the movie. _It was fine, maybe I just had to see it again?_ I delved deeper into online video essays explaining why the movie was the worst thing, how it "killed their childhoods, and murdered their dogs" and my melancholy turned to hatred. "They just copy pasted A New Hope!!! Those Hacks, those frauds, INSULTING MY INTELLIGENCE"... I obsessively watched and rewatched every video essay I could find hating on Star Wars, looking for every single flaw I could to pick it apart, looking for any little thing to get fuming about. The Last Jedi released and I saw it, and with the way the movie wrapped up, It just felt like a weird conclusion. Like there was no direction or plan for the story (and well ther wasn't really lol). But I also felt that same melancholy from the Force Awakens, I didn't actively hate it... untill.... Big surprise the community I frequented despised the move, they _loathed_ they blamed the movie for starting ww3 and killing baby seals. They waged a war in discussing how this movie was literally the worse thing ever made, how the devil would run in fear from it, because how bad the plot was, and how it treated the characters. I of course let the hate flow though me as well... I found the Mr. Plinkets video analyzing the movie. I watched it. I watched it again. I watched all his other reviews on the Star Wars movies. I let the Hate burn at my insides, "how could they do this to my Star Wars" "Star Wars is stupid" "F U Disney" "F U Gorge" "YOU PEOPLE RUINED STAR WARS"... I had let the hate consume me... I was grieving for "death" of Star Wars. In my rewatching fo the Mr. Plinket prequel review (for the 40th time or something) I ended up clicking on "The Making of the Phantom Menace behind the scenes video". Much of the footage I had seen referenced in the Plinket review before, but I had never sat down and watched the behind the scenes before then. Learning about the inner working of the filming, the casting the set design, all the work that went into making the movie. I began to realize something. The fact that they were all just movies, they didn't "ruin my childhood". Were they amazing movies? Not really, but thinking back, _I thought they were amazing when I was a kid._ I watched all the behind the scenes for the rest of the movies, and rewatched all the video essays I could, to try and recapture the adrenaline rush that I got from "hating Star Wars", I watched over and over, memorizing all the ways I could pick apart the movies, but something else happened instead.... I was enamored not with how "awful" the movies were, but the craft that went into making them. Even if the movie isn't great, learning about what went into the process of creating the story, and leaning how the story could be better if minor adjustments where taken into consideration. Learning the _do's and don't's_ of story telling, and how to write compelling characters. Suddenly I no longer hated Star Wars, but loved it again. The Rise of Skywalker released and I laughed and how terrible the pacing and story were, but I was angry no longer. I had reached acceptance. Balance with the force, if you will lol. I looked back on the community at the time and release of the prequels and how they too went through stages of greif, because they had built up this expectation of Star Wars in their minds. They wanted to love the movie, they forced themselves to love the movie, they hated the movie, they loved to hate the movie. History was repeating itself for me now with the sequel trilogy. I understood that the Phantom Menace is flawed, but reflected back on the time I enjoyed it. And my new found appreciation for the film. So many small things make the Phantom Menace enjoyable for me, the locals, the music, and the film photography (something about the look of the movie, it being filmed on... well you know, actual film), the child like wonder of Anakin, and him being whisked off on this adventure into the cold outer space and distant worlds. The battle droids looked and sounded cool, and were actually still pretty menacing (rip OOM-9 Battledroid commander). Darth Maul hunting down the Jedi, felt so spooky as a kid. All these small things make me really appreciate the movie. At this point in time it's like a comfort movie for me, It's always on TV around the holidays and it just take me back to simpler times. I indeed, still have my issues with the movie. Those video essays make many valid points, and I also get great comfort from watching those videos, and seeing their funny jokes and over analyzation of the characters, and wondering what could have been. Star Wars is many things to many people, and for me its three distinct parts. The original trilogy, is the story I cherish, the Phantom menace is the fun sci-fi adventure set in that universe, and the Clone Wars has brilliant character development that I just gobble up. Each is a different flavor of Star Wars that I don't necessarily consider to be all one of the whole, but I appreciate each for what they do right. I like to keep them separate to that extent in my mind because of what each one represents, and the tonal feeling of all the different Star Wars iterations. Nothing can ever match that feeling of wonder I got when I saw A New Hope for the first time, or the dread I felt at the end of Empire Strikes back, because I already had those wonderful experiences. There's no point in trying to recreate some something that was already perfect to begin with. I like to hear people talk about Star Wars and use their imaginations, I get much joy from it. And in the end, isn't that what matters most? Be one with the force, my friends, see ya around kid ;)

Replace everything he said about the Phantom Menace with Sonic 06 and its basically the same argument Gen Z have about that game. I'm not even disagreeing, watching something as a child makes it so much easier to ignore the stuff that you groan at as an adult. For instance, Final Fantasy 8 as a kid was the coolest fucking shit ever. I was a kid when it came out and it honestly was one of the best looking games of that year. When I grew up and watched the Spoony reviews I was like "O-Oh yeah! That game suckssss." And objectively 90% of what he said about the game was true. But now I've gone back to being like "Nah fuck it, I don't care FF8 rocks. I may be wearing three-ply nostalgia glasses but I don't care. Eat me" :>

Just to share the story - this was back in the day where we had 56K dial-up. I waited six hours for one trailer to load, screamed at my dad to come watch with me, and I just remember being blown away by seeing the grass moving as the CGI ships moved along the battlefield. At the time, that was very much "Holy shit you can -do- that?" My dad got me a Darth Maul standup that Christmas and I could never put it up in my room because it was just a liiiittle to creepy in the dark.
This is also the week a stray dog came to my door that we named Chewie. She lived until 2014.
So even if the movie is pretty bleh overall, there are some really good things with it. And that's not touching how the use of CGI and Lucasfilm's experimentation with effects became Hollywood standards.

The separation from the rest of the series is exactly why I liked PM.
I really liked the movie being a "a glimpse at the galaxy in peacetime."
It's only movie where you see the Jedi actually being the Monk-Cops they're meant to be. It gives you an idea of how radical a change the Clone Wars became.

I think the biggest problem with TPM, and the reason it was so hated when it released, is that they were advertising it to existing Star Wars fans, when really it's a kids' movie and back then all the Star Wars fans were teenagers or older--way too old to enjoy TPM. They really hyped that movie to death, too, so they really were setting themselves up for a huge backlash.
Actually, that's more the problem with how it was released. The actual problem with TPM is that George needed someone to help him write and direct, but apparently he approached three different directors and they all turned him down because it would have been too much pressure trying to live up to the phenomenon that Star Wars had become, so he directed it himself.
Yeah, watching them all these years later, they're still nowhere near as good as the OT, but at least they got made--back then we didn't think we were EVER getting any more Star Wars movies. And on the bright side, they laid the groundwork for Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch, Mandalorian, Boba Fett, and more!

Holy shit that stinkmeiner dub over sebulba is absolutely perfect. Jesus dude I can’t stop giggling
The hype and marketing around the prequels was so amazing. The episode 1 Pepsi cans, the episode 2 go gurt tubes, and all the great video games around episode 3
I love this movie, when i watched It for the First Time i was a Little kid waiting to Watch episode 7, there was a Channel that only Aired star wars movies before Ep 7 and Ep 1 was the second One i watched After 4, i Just loved maul and the podracing, also i used to play the complete saga on iPad and episodes 1 and 4 were the only ones i had and i played them over and over
This movie gave us Duel of the Fates.
I grew up with the prequels, they gave me my love of Star Wars, that fight with Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Maul was just *french kiss*
Chef's Kiss and French Kiss are two wildly different things.
I'd tongue Maul in a heartbeat, don't tell me you wouldn't.
@@AnAverageGoblin but in this case... i'll allow it.
I was 6 when episode one came out, and I was also Darth Maul that Halloween. Are I am your brother? What's your maternal grandmoms maiden name? What was the name of your first pet? What are the last 4 of your SSN?
Thanks for this video, Junko. Only just found your channel and you put in a ton of damn work into every single video. Sorry the RUclips gods didn't deem you worthy until now. I honestly get AVGN vibes watching your stuff. Hope you keep making stuff because you'll surely be a staple of premium RUclips content in due time.
I am 30 years older than you & when I saw Phantom Menance, I knew it was the unfiltered vision of Lucas- his true homage to the Flash Gordon serials. I was actually far more disappointed by Attack Of The Clones. I agree also that the Prequels were flawed. But they were also chock full of world building & vision that the Sequels never even approached except by aping the OT.
The Star Wars prequels are masterpieces, they are the best, the greatest Star Wars movies
Still one of my favourite Star Wars movies even after almost 23 years.

These videos are great stuff. I'm so glad I saw your comments on videos by other creators that I like because I don't think the algorithm would have ever offered your stuff to me. I'm subbed to a ton of gaming channels and even several Star Wars channels and you have both here! Way to go Al Gore Rhythm.
1:22 I was two years old when The Phantom Menace was released, but I never saw this film until around 2009 and 2010, when I got a VHS copy of the film when I was about to enter into my teenage years.
This is incredibly edited for one of your first videos, truly awesome 👌 and not junk-o
This is legitimately one of the best RUclips channels I’ve ever seen. Love your work, reminds me of Jontron! Make more Star Wars videos pls ok 🙏
I remember seeing it in cinemas as a 10 year old and in 3D in 2012 and still feels great and had so much hype for it in 1999 and the problems it had and out dated seeing it in 4K now
What really hurt the prequels is that we all had our own predisposed idea of how Anakin became Vader. If they had released the movies in order, we would have had so much more involvement in the story as we learned about this random little kid was seen as a potential Jedi candidate, and eventually his downfall, we cue the idea that Anakin becomes Vader, ending the movie without actually showing him, and as we see him for the first time in A New Hope, we finally feel the power he has. That also allows the dramatic irony that Luke doesn't know who Vader is, to have that real impact of him finally realizing it. Granted that surprising twist is iconic, but if we had it pay out chronologically, it would have so much more impact.
The Star Wars prequels are masterpieces.
I've had a love/meh relationship with ep 1. I think part of the problem was me filling in the backstory in my head during the gap between the OT and PT and how jarring the movie was to my head cannon. Still, it's my favorite of the prequels and now I appreciate its ambitious scale that must have been daunting g for Lucas to undertake. Great job.

As an adult I individually apologized to both of my parents for all the times they had to watch Phantom Menace as I was growing up
Still love the prequels though, it's really hard to describe now how nuts it was as a kid that a _new_ Star Wars was coming out. That sadly doesn't mean much anymore
The Star Wars prequels are masterpieces
Love the editing and breakdown lool and the stinkmeaner sebulba 🤣 youve earned a subscriber!
I was 4 when this came out and it’s my earliest theater memories ever. My parents took me to see it like 3 times I swear, and as a kid I thought it was for me, which was weird because I wasn’t like super super into it, but now that I’m older, I realize it was just my dad wanting to see it over and over again lol I also got a lot of badass Ep.1 toys, man what a time
I definitely felt burned by the prequels, but I've come to really appreciate them. Especially Revenge of the Sith, which is a very complex film.
The Star Wars prequels are masterpieces, they are the best, the greatest Star Wars movies
There’s this weird thing with this movie where Star Wars fans insist it’s one of the most hated films of all time, and even though I have a similar take as you, I love it but think a lot of it’s also bad, I think most non-star wars fans who watch it just see it once and go “yeah, that was fine, that was fun.”
Idk about you, but most people nowadays who say this film is bad are non star wars fans jumping on the bandwagon

I was 9 years old when the phantom menace came out. It got me 100% hooked on Star Wars.
I grew up with the prequels.
I skipped school for the Clone Wars.
I went to the Revenge of the Sith midnight premiere, dressed in my Jedi robe, and my best friend dressed in his sith robe. Our moms let us skip school again and we saw it 4 times the first 2 days.
Some of the best memories of my life are thanks to Star Wars.
Star Wars is basically nonexistent to me thanks to the sequels.
The Star Wars prequels and originals are masterpieces
I think the most important thing about the prequel was that it made the universe more larger than it was before and I can give them credit for that.
The Star Wars prequels are masterpieces
I still remember going to the opening week of each of the prequels with like 15 members of my family. No matter what you think of the prequels you have to acknowledge that they were made with love and care for the story. in my opinion the worst and most cringe scene in attack of the clones is still better than 95% of the fan films Disney made. But if you love them, well tbh im more jealous of you than anything. I really wish i could enjoy the sequels half as much as the prequels. I just cant
The Star Wars prequels and originals are masterpieces, they are the best, the greatest movies of all time
Star Wars fan did the same thing when they harassed Kelly Marie Tran, the actress that played Rose Tico in The Last Jedi. You can dislike a movie and even dislike an actor/actress but you’re not allowed to bully them until they contemplate suicide or even leave the film industry. Sadly Star Wars fans I’ve found are so toxic that I refuse to say I’m a Star Wars fan cos I refuse to be lumped in with them
this is late but, don't be afraid to admit you're a fan of ANYTHING because of the actions of a few people that identify with you. It's a big world, lot of people. Be confident with who you like, be unapologetically yourself. If someone isn't experienced enough to separate individuals from a mob, they need some time before communicating in a global format like the internet.
Damn, I love the prequels, and as much as I understand the criticism as an adult now, I still love TPM and the Gungans. Yes, I love the OT, but I'll always love the PT
The Star Wars prequels are masterpieces, they are the best Star Wars movies .
The thing that really elevates The Phantom Menace for me is the fact that it used a lot of actual practical effects and sets when compared to the other prequels. It still has all the bad acting, bad writing, and nonsensical plot points, but the fact that it’s more than just actors greenscreened into a video game is what really makes it for me. It helps that the cg in Episode 1 is way better than the other two prequels.

When I watched Phantom Menace for the first time, I was around eight. It was the first Star Wars movie I had ever seen and I decided I was not going to watch any more of them. It took me five years to watch the rest of them.
So, basically I had the opposite experience. But hey! That just makes it more interesting to hear what the experiences of someone who felt the opposite way were like.

I remember when this movie came out. I was honestly annoyed by all the hype but I ended up loving the film.

1999 was also when lego star wars became a thing, and in addition to the pod racing game there was a phantom menace game that was really good as well, so as a 12 year old kid all of those coming together made it so fun, even with its faults, its still fun, I had just seen the special edition 2 years prior as well, so kid hype was there, and CGI was so new it was fascinating to watch jar jar just on a technical level, always loved the pod race scene, my only gripe with George is not being cool about the 'unfinished' 'original' version, he should just have them both available like how Blade Runner, LOTR, Alien and all the rest have both theatrical and extended versions available
6:26 had me rollin lmfao idk who chancellor malone is, but i too submit a vote of no confidence! REESE'S PEICES FOR CURRENCY!
I always loved the originals and the prequels.
They are the best, the greatest movies of all time ❤
Phantom Menace was the best prequel IMO. I loved the pod racing scenes and got the pod racing game as soon as it came out.

I was born in 1991 so the experience you spoke of 1 minute for me was episode 2. I rmember the 6 months before episode 1's release all the video game magaziines I read were losing their shit with hype. Nintendo Power, Electronic Gaming Monthly and Gamepro were loaded with articles reviewing old games and showing previews for Star Wars Battle For Naboo(A hidden gem playing in the same style as the Rouge Squadron games).
Please don’t stop making videos
I just watched it again from my original Lucas era Blu-ray box set in my huge TV. Don't remember when was the last time I watched any Star Wars related thing. Probably it's been years... After we saw so many shitty product from Disney, I decided to stay away from that garbage. But lately I heard about new shows, returning the prequel era actors etc. and decided to start again. I have to say, Episode I is a masterpiece for me now. I know it's not perfect but It was way better than I remembered. First of all, it was FUN! I really enjoyed while I watching it again. It felt like I'm watching Star Wars! 24 years later! And this is the thing that Disney never gives after Rogue One.
Hey, Roger Ebert gave this the longest review of his entire career saying good things about it!
I prefer the prequels to the originals ❤️❤️
The Star Wars prequels are masterpieces, they are the best, the greatest Star Wars movies
Engagement for the algorithm.
Let's be real, we don't have to dance around the fact these prequels are better looked at now, because Disney made those terrible sequel movies that... Really makes you miss George Lucas as the director behind these films.
Also, midichlorians aren't actually how a person obtains the force themselves at all, but instead is more of a micro-organism that is attracted to those sensitive to the force, and because of that, yes, it's a tool for discovering how powerful Jedi and Sith are. I honestly was never bugged by it, because I understand how it was explained, and thus never thought it was boiled down to an X-Men genetic lottery instead.
Yeah for me the medichlorians filled in some holes to explain what the force is, or how the characters communicate with it.

This and the gta 5 video are amazing man! Keep it up :)
To this day, the Phantom Menace is my favorite of the prequels (There was even a time I said it was my favorite Star Wars Movie period). I saw it at a young age and was enamored by the visuals, I thought Jar Jar was funny and the final battle was was the most epic thing I had seen at that time. I remember saying Attack of the Clones was my favorite because "cool looking stormtroopers, but good guys now", but looking back, I that was the only part I wanted to see, the rest of the movie was boring, anikin didnt do anything except mushy romance, and was basically a completely different character from the first one. I didn't even see episode 3 till years later in my teens, and I honestly felt nothing from that movie. I loved the Clone Wars Tv show to death, but always noiced how very different the tone felt compared to the movies. I though it weird all the things they added that where never brought up in the live action movies (obviously because the show came after, duh). That was the start of my critical view of Star Wars.
Getting involved with online communities, I quickly learned the disdain for the prequels. I subsequently got caught up in the hate and felt obligated to rage over their awfulness. I convinced myself that the prequels "killed Star Wars" that the character Jar Jar was the worse than a Nazi, and Gorge Lucas wanted Star Wars fans to suffer. I felt that way up until the Force Awakens.
I had believed that The Force Awakens would "save Star Wars" and make Gorge regret he ever sold it. But when those credits rolled, I found I didn't really like the movie. _It was fine, maybe I just had to see it again?_ I delved deeper into online video essays explaining why the movie was the worst thing, how it "killed their childhoods, and murdered their dogs" and my melancholy turned to hatred. "They just copy pasted A New Hope!!! Those Hacks, those frauds, INSULTING MY INTELLIGENCE"...
I obsessively watched and rewatched every video essay I could find hating on Star Wars, looking for every single flaw I could to pick it apart, looking for any little thing to get fuming about. The Last Jedi released and I saw it, and with the way the movie wrapped up, It just felt like a weird conclusion. Like there was no direction or plan for the story (and well ther wasn't really lol). But I also felt that same melancholy from the Force Awakens, I didn't actively hate it... untill....
Big surprise the community I frequented despised the move, they _loathed_ they blamed the movie for starting ww3 and killing baby seals. They waged a war in discussing how this movie was literally the worse thing ever made, how the devil would run in fear from it, because how bad the plot was, and how it treated the characters. I of course let the hate flow though me as well...
I found the Mr. Plinkets video analyzing the movie. I watched it. I watched it again. I watched all his other reviews on the Star Wars movies. I let the Hate burn at my insides, "how could they do this to my Star Wars" "Star Wars is stupid" "F U Disney" "F U Gorge" "YOU PEOPLE RUINED STAR WARS"... I had let the hate consume me... I was grieving for "death" of Star Wars.
In my rewatching fo the Mr. Plinket prequel review (for the 40th time or something) I ended up clicking on "The Making of the Phantom Menace behind the scenes video". Much of the footage I had seen referenced in the Plinket review before, but I had never sat down and watched the behind the scenes before then. Learning about the inner working of the filming, the casting the set design, all the work that went into making the movie. I began to realize something. The fact that they were all just movies, they didn't "ruin my childhood". Were they amazing movies? Not really, but thinking back, _I thought they were amazing when I was a kid._
I watched all the behind the scenes for the rest of the movies, and rewatched all the video essays I could, to try and recapture the adrenaline rush that I got from "hating Star Wars", I watched over and over, memorizing all the ways I could pick apart the movies, but something else happened instead.... I was enamored not with how "awful" the movies were, but the craft that went into making them. Even if the movie isn't great, learning about what went into the process of creating the story, and leaning how the story could be better if minor adjustments where taken into consideration. Learning the _do's and don't's_ of story telling, and how to write compelling characters. Suddenly I no longer hated Star Wars, but loved it again. The Rise of Skywalker released and I laughed and how terrible the pacing and story were, but I was angry no longer. I had reached acceptance. Balance with the force, if you will lol. I looked back on the community at the time and release of the prequels and how they too went through stages of greif, because they had built up this expectation of Star Wars in their minds. They wanted to love the movie, they forced themselves to love the movie, they hated the movie, they loved to hate the movie. History was repeating itself for me now with the sequel trilogy. I understood that the Phantom Menace is flawed, but reflected back on the time I enjoyed it. And my new found appreciation for the film.
So many small things make the Phantom Menace enjoyable for me, the locals, the music, and the film photography (something about the look of the movie, it being filmed on... well you know, actual film), the child like wonder of Anakin, and him being whisked off on this adventure into the cold outer space and distant worlds. The battle droids looked and sounded cool, and were actually still pretty menacing (rip OOM-9 Battledroid commander). Darth Maul hunting down the Jedi, felt so spooky as a kid. All these small things make me really appreciate the movie. At this point in time it's like a comfort movie for me, It's always on TV around the holidays and it just take me back to simpler times.
I indeed, still have my issues with the movie. Those video essays make many valid points, and I also get great comfort from watching those videos, and seeing their funny jokes and over analyzation of the characters, and wondering what could have been. Star Wars is many things to many people, and for me its three distinct parts. The original trilogy, is the story I cherish, the Phantom menace is the fun sci-fi adventure set in that universe, and the Clone Wars has brilliant character development that I just gobble up. Each is a different flavor of Star Wars that I don't necessarily consider to be all one of the whole, but I appreciate each for what they do right. I like to keep them separate to that extent in my mind because of what each one represents, and the tonal feeling of all the different Star Wars iterations. Nothing can ever match that feeling of wonder I got when I saw A New Hope for the first time, or the dread I felt at the end of Empire Strikes back, because I already had those wonderful experiences. There's no point in trying to recreate some something that was already perfect to begin with.
I like to hear people talk about Star Wars and use their imaginations, I get much joy from it. And in the end, isn't that what matters most? Be one with the force, my friends, see ya around kid ;)

The Star Wars prequels and originals are masterpieces, they are the best, the greatest movies of all time
Sidenote, Well it's not the game, but this was still a good video! I want to hear your thoughts on the PS1 game hah
One thing I can't fault the prequels in any way on is the music. John Williams really outdoes himself with alot of the score.
The Star Wars prequels are masterpieces
TPM is alright in my book.
(Plus, are we all just going to ignore the fact that Jar Jar is just an awkward teen?)
Plus Little Anakin is adorable, y'all are just mean
I thought Jar Jar was a young adult. Especially given Gungans have shorter lifespans than humans.
@@dtxspeaks268 Gungans aged differently than humans though
10:02...Yea but atleast Jake got a Turboman for Xmas...ROFL. .But I agree, ppl over criticize way too much. Not realizing or not caring that there is an actual living human with emotions who has to stomach over saturated criticism . .
AMEN
Lovely video.
Damn dude dis a good ass channel my dude sub
TPM has actually grown on me over the years. It's nowhere as bad as people made out.

I'll take it over The Last Jedi any day.
The Star Wars prequel is a pure masterpiece, they are the best, the greatest movies of all time, a great cult trilogy, exciting from start to finish, the best Star Wars trilogy ever made, the greatest Star Wars trilogy, the richest, the most complete, the best period, everything is superb : the deepening of the Star Wars universe and its narrative elements are superb and exciting, and it explores in detail the Clone Wars period, a crucial moment in Star Wars history 🔥😍 a fundamental and exciting pivotal period 🔥💥🔥 the Clone Wars period is the best Star Wars period 🥳🥰🤗😍🔥💥👍
The fascinating plot that develops throughout the movies. The rise to power of Palpatine, Darth Sidious, is masterfully depicted 🥰 His behind-the-scenes shenanigans to undermine the Galactic Republic and bring the galaxy under his control are meticulously presented. His manipulation to form a huge clone army and eradicate the Jedi with Order 66 is a central element of the story, explaining how the Galactic Empire took shape following the fall of the Republic and how Anakin switched to the dark side of the force in order to become Darth Vader 🔥💖 a fallen hero who just wanted to save those he loved 💥🔥 Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader is a superb, memorable and breathtaking scene 😍💥 the link with the original trilogy is superbly done. Anakin's internal conflict between his loyalty to the Jedi order and his desire to save those he loves makes his story profound and tragic 🔥🔥 His turn to the dark side, with key moments such as his confrontation with Count Dooku and his heartbreaking final duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar 💥🔥
The prequel also brought an invaluable richness to the Star Wars universe, a detailed insight into the Jedi order, Padawan training, the Sith, mastery of combat and Jedi teachings 💖💥🔥 The focus on the Sith and their philosophy reinforced the dark side of the Force, adding depth and complexity to the saga.
The political aspect of the prequel adds a new dimension to the Star Wars universe, Palpatine's machinations in the Galactic Senate and the growing tensions between planetary systems, creating a richer context for the later events of the original trilogy, the rise of the Empire, the fall of the Republic, the extinction of the Jedi and the tragic story of Anakin Skywalker 💥🔥
The expansion of the universe is also great. New planets, races, creatures, peoples and cultures are introduced, with dugs, gungans, toydarians, kaminoians, the aquatic city, the queen's palace, the galactic senate, the cloning factory, the gungans' aquatic city, the galactic senate, Naboo and Coruscant the best planets, helping to create a larger, more diverse world 💥🔥 Iconic locations such as Kamino, Geonosis, Utapau, Felucia and Mustafar provide visually captivating backdrops for action scenes, development and key plot moments 😍🥰💖💥 Cult and iconic characters, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala, Qui-Gon Jinn. Mace Windu, General Grievous, Jango Fett, Watto, Sebulba...❤️🔥🔥
The action scenes and lightsaber battles are among the saga's most memorable. Epic battles such as the Battle of Geonosis, the Pod Race on Tatooine, the Battle of Naboo and the Battle Over Coruscant are highly memorable and emblematic of the saga, they are not only visually impressive, superbly well-realized, but they are also emotionally charged, with characters we've grown to love in danger ❤️🔥
Lightsaber duels between iconic characters such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Darth Maul and Yoda are executed with exceptional choreography, adding a visceral dimension to the story, the fight on Naboo, the confrontation with Count Dooku, the Senate summit duel between Yoda and Darth Sidious, the fight against Darth Maul and the fratricidal duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin.... 🔥🔥
The prequel also enriches the Star Wars lore with new charismatic and endearing characters, unforgettable music, "Duel of the Fates", "Across the Stars" ", Battle of the Heroes", a super-rich, exciting and very complete lore and a talented cast of actors, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson and Liam Neeson 💖💥😍🔥
Natalie Portman is superb, gorgeous, gentle, sensual and charismatic, lending her character of Padmé Amidala queen and senator of Naboo exemplary strength, determination and courage. She's perfect, she's iconic 🤗🔥💥🥳🥰 Her evolution from a queen to a senator, into a badass, elegant and determined woman, is a central feature of the trilogy 🔥💖💥
Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson bring memorable class and presence to the screen. Their dynamic as Jedi masters is palpable, and they convey a wisdom and determination that anchors the story in Jedi heritage. What's more, Christopher Lee's presence as Count Dooku adds a touch of class, elegance and charisma, amplified by his Shakespearean delivery.
The prequel was the revival of the Star Wars saga, bringing real dramatic scope, real political context, real stakes, new superb and emblematic characters, emblematic action scenes, a much richer universe, a more developed, more diversified universe, and a much more extended universe, it fleshed out the saga's lore, and perfectly complements the original trilogy by being inseparable from it.
The Star Wars prequel is a pure masterpiece and the Star Wars trilogy is a masterpiece, and they form an incredible whole, a single great story of exceptional galactic epic 🔥💥 the story of Anakin Skywalker, from his training as a Jedi to his turning to the dark side of the Force to his redemption as a Jedi by saving his son, destroying the Sith and bringing balance back to the Force, the story of the Galactic Empire, once a democratic Republic, and the story of Palpatine, his evolution from Senator to Chancellor to Emperor of the Galaxy, his manipulations to establish his authority in the Senate, to create his own Galactic Empire, topple the Jedi order and keep Anakin with him as an apprentice 🔥🤗💥 and the technological advance towards digital in order to create new worlds, new stratospheric and extraordinary world building, new peoples and build the extraordinary story of the Star Wars prequel 🤗❤🔥💥🥳
The prequel trilogy is the true Star Wars as George Lucas always wanted to make it, without the technological and budgetary limitations of the 80s, he was able to expand his universe far beyond, it's a marvelous and accomplished work that is the apotheosis of the Star Wars saga.
All the first 6 episodes of the Star Wars saga are pure Masterpieces, they're the Greatest Movies Of All Time, everything is cult and amazing, the Star Wars universe is the best, most expanded universe, with unrivalled richness and creativity with infinite possibilities, magnificent expansion as well as the best characters ever, the prequels in particular are of superb, limitless extended creativity that has contributed so much to the original trilogy and the Star Wars lore, a real feeling of traveling and exploring a superb universe, open to the world, with greater world building, more peoples, environments, planets, more concrete and fleshed-out stories and the best characters in the saga, a great amazing trilogy that marked its generation just like the original trilogy did in its day😍💓, and I don't care if the haters think otherwise !
George Lucas and James Cameron are the greatest film makers in the film history, brilliant geniuses, pioneers, visionaries and forerunners who revolutionized sci-fi, the way to create magnificent, concrete universes using modern digital and special effects technologies with the Star Wars prequel and Avatar 🤩🥰💖
Star Wars prequels and original movies are the holy grail.

Replace everything he said about the Phantom Menace with Sonic 06 and its basically the same argument Gen Z have about that game.
I'm not even disagreeing, watching something as a child makes it so much easier to ignore the stuff that you groan at as an adult.
For instance, Final Fantasy 8 as a kid was the coolest fucking shit ever. I was a kid when it came out and it honestly was one of the best looking games of that year.
When I grew up and watched the Spoony reviews I was like "O-Oh yeah! That game suckssss." And objectively 90% of what he said about the game was true.
But now I've gone back to being like "Nah fuck it, I don't care FF8 rocks. I may be wearing three-ply nostalgia glasses but I don't care. Eat me"

Now as a species we can agree Rise of Palpa--I mean Fall of Sky--Sorry. Rise of Reywalker was the worst movie in the series
