I remember hearing stories about people who bought full price tickets just to see this trailer in theaters. This was before online video streaming obviously.
arbitterm It’s true, all of it...
I lived during the 1990s and I can assure you we did have online video streaming for film trailers
@@Waterford1992 I remember they weren't very good and very high quality. Also it took FOREVER to get them to play.
We had QuickTime trailers took a good amount of time to load HD version but yes full price tix were sold for this trailer, sold well too
Daniel Macias There was no HD that I recall? Just high quality which was 480p. Correct me if I’m wrong. I remember the quality of most videos was god awful though, 144p and it took a good minute to buffer or download.
"A communications disruption can mean only two things"
1) Invasion or 2) Eric from the IT department is performing that scheduled maintenance.
it was definently eric. Erics to fault
damn Eric
Or you just didn't pay your phone bill.
I remember the night this trailer come out my friend and I stayed up all night downloading it on his 56k modem to be able to watch it lol
Barry Jowers Me too.
quicktime video
Remeber the taco bell, kfc tokens and stuff, the action figures and lego sets ....a much simpler time
@@hamsterSNAKE Funny how in 1999 everyone downloading this was thinking how 1977 was a much simpler time....😂😂😂
@@Anth230 Right?.....I'd like to not be an adult anymore...I'm tappin' out on this one haha
Don't care what anyone says, I love The Phantom Menace
My favorite of the prequels

Me too
Me too
Obi Wan yelling noooooo after Palpatine said to wipe all of them out was a great touch
Mannn as I sit here in 2020... a good 21 years later the hype this trailer gave us still resonates in my blood. 👌
Yes, I sense your midichlorian levels are high... but you need practice... Seek your answer in nature, away from man's temptations and distractions...
@@dexterlacroy4132 lol
It was great, people were camping like crazy at the theater by my house. Great memories.
@@dexterlacroy4132 Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? ... I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life ;)
25 this year
Should've seen the look on my 9yr old face when my uncle told me Anakin was Vader
Stop bringing back memories *man tear*
What a dick your uncle is...😂😂
@@Anth230 enh debatable
My dad did the same thing - I was 8 at the time though. I remember telling him, that I like star wars movies, but only the ones without Vader in them (meaning obviously the Phantom Menace, as others weren't made yet). Then he told me: "But Vader is in all of them. It's Anakin Skywalker". I couldn't speak for almost an hour, just kept going through my mind how horrible the world is :)
Did you not see the original trilogy before this? I was 10 and knew exactly who anakin and palpatine were lol
Can’t tell you how many times we watched the end of this trailer to see Obi-Wan vs Maul. That little snippet was enough to drive every Star Wars fan into the theater.
No we didn't...
December 1998, I first saw this run in front of The Prince of Egypt.
Well you saw A Phantom Menace trailer, but it wasn't this one. This one came out 20 years ago today.
i’d say march 15th, 99 is this trailer that was played in theaters
I never comment on RUclips comments, but I had to for this. Mad respect.
@@matthewkrenzler1171This trailer played before Wing Commander and Entrapment
You saw the Teaser. This is the theatrical trailer, which came out in March of '99.
This trailer came out 20 years ago today, March 15.
That blew my mind.
my birthday!
People don't remember what movie they paid to watch, but they remember this trailer.
They kept anakin a secret too! Goosebumps every time I see this trailer
My uncle downloaded this and I remember watching and being blown away at 11 years old. Shaped me to who I am today
How did it shape you
But still...you can't tell me the lightsaber battles didn't get u hyped in this trailer!!!
they still get me hyped. That's the only thing about this whole movie that's any good. And I was a youngling when it came out, and I still thought it was shit other than the 3 way lightsaber duel at the end. Shoulda been more Maul focused, less Palpatine focused, at least until episode 3 , then make Palpatine your main bad pulling the strings all along
Couldn't help to be hyped for the first Star War movie in 16 years. Just like with Force Awakens.
@@aznsbd Weird how the 16 years between ROTJ and TPM seemed forever...but the 16 years between TPM and TFA or even 10 years between ROTS and TFA seems like a much shorter wait....it's just my age catching up with me I think...lol
@@Anth230 Probably cause Lucas never released anything major star wars related in between the ROTJ and TPM. Before Lucas sold the rights to Disney they had the animated clone series and the cgi clone series. Then Disney released the Rebels series. There was a lot more ways to get your Star Wars fix.
@@aznsbd true. But I never watched the cartoons...
3-PO: "They will *never* get me onto one of those dreadful starships!"
R2: "We'll see."
R2: You will be in tons of Starships along with me with many types of Masters
No matter how old I get I will never not adore this film. I remember waiting for hours for a tiny Quicktime window to load this trailer and the excitement it ignited in me. Very few film trailers in recent years have had the impact in me that the trailers for Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones had. I know it is considered uncool to love the Prequels so unabashedly and yet I do. They were the Trilogy I saw in the theater. I did get to see the Special Edition of A New Hope in the theater, but I am glad I got to see Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith all in theaters. The opening line of the Phantom Menace teaser trailer was "Every generation has a legend." And this was my generation's legend. Is it any wonder that in 2019 they used that exact phrase verbatim on the trailer for Rise of Skywalker?
Anyone else remember waiting 4 hours just to watch this trailer load one frame at a time on Quicktime with a 56k?
6 hours
Omg you just opened a forgotten timecapsule in my brain about quicktime.lmao
YES.jpg
Why I am getting chills after 20 years?! Saw this one on TV, but paid to see the Waterboy to see the first trailer. Then theater hopped to see the trailer twice more...but never ended up staying for the Waterboy!
1:56 You can tell this is a pre-Marvel trailer when they cut out a character from a scene to avoid spoilers
Qui Gon?
Best Star Wars trailer ever. Who remembers waiting hours for this bad boy to load and the excitement you felt when it was at 95%?!
I am so happy to see so many people remembering the quicktime wait for this trailer.
Took forever, like hours and our school actually had broadband back then 😂
I have fantastic memories of seeing this movie in the theater. My friends and I were so excited to see the movie in the famed prequels we had heard about for ages! As well, I had surgery the day before and I was high on painkillers which make this movie fantastic!
People don’t remember that we didn’t get to see the Jedi do anything before this movie. Now there’s so much of them flipping around and stuff but that was brand new at the time we could only read about it
I remember seeing this trailer in the QuickTime movie format in the apple's website...
When Natalie said "Get to your ships!" at 1:40 it always sounds better than in the actual film. In the film it sounds like she's struggling to swallow a glass of milk
True, I'm guessing this is sound from the set, feels like there is actual action happening. In the film it's a bad ADR line, really flat, almost no energy. Makes me wonder how much of that flat prequel delivery is bad ADR.
Yeah in the movie she says it in her "queen amidala voice". Sounds way better in the trailer, much more emotion.
1:39 versus ruclips.net/video/2RJ5MijWduE/видео.html. Maybe one's the real queen and the other's her double?
1:39
That's the one thing that stood out to me, seeing this so many years (and SO MANY viewings of the movie) later. She's speaking in her Queen Amidala voice, but it hasn't been modulated to be deeper like it was in the film. It sounds like...Natalie Portman doing a voice.
I miss the good ol' Phantom Menace movie trailer back in the late 90s.
I didn't see this one as many times as the first trailer.
Perfect trailer. The sudden outbreak of darkness at the end with sideous, and obi wan screaming gives me the chills
For me, the Duel of Fates is the greatest Lightsaber battle of all time. Nothing comes close, before or since.
Sorry itll have to be a second for me. As luke vs vader or better put when luke goes full rage into vader to protect leia is number 1 and the score is brilliant there too
I like the reimagined Darth Vader vs Obi-Wan on the Death Star. Funny, I just saw a light saber battle ad for an energy drink for men before a Lucas interview video. the girl showed a lot of hip.
Yes! Agreed!
I’ll never forget seeing this trailer in April of 1999 at technology conference my 6th grade year of middle school, it was a very profound day for me.
This trailer was and perhaps still is, the best piece of advertisement for a film ever! Yes, I left the theater disappointed on the fateful May afternoon, but I strongly believe that part of it was this trailer promised something that could not be delivered. It was an AWESOME trailer! Not being old enough to be allowed internet access at the time, (yes children, those days existed) I can’t remember how many times I had my older brother que this thing up after dinner. Good times!
Omg I remember the publicity for this movie in 1999 was INSANE it was a huge deal. Phantom Menace definitely made it a memorable summer at the movies for me.
I remember seeing this trailer at 15 or so, it was incredibly powerful. Everyone imagined this movie in their head and let me tell you, it was nothing like we thought. The hype generated from these trailers, the music, the visuals, nothing could have prepared me for the earth shattering reality when I finally saw it opening day...😔
I thought it was going to be some epic thing... And then Jar Jar appeared.
@@Mario_N64 I originally perceived that character in the trailer as a female alien warrior, especially from the teaser trailer. It’s when I heard the line “Issa people gonna die?” Is when I had doubts.
@@Barnsy40 I originally thought it was some sort of "shaman" warrior character, a serious one, like a Native American or something.
Aftet the sequel trilogy lol
Nostalgia for better days....I remember being on vacation in Miami with my family in 99 after it took all night to download this trailer, just to watch it repeatedly until we got to see it
Still better than any Disney Star Wars film.
Tommy Callahan no not rogue one
No prequel film is better than any of the sequels and if you think other wise you are a fucking idiot
@@Josh-vg8zm Fuck revenge of the sith nigga
YT Channel bruh mo like fuck you bc although prequels had bad dialogue, they had way more interesting and new storylines. The sequels are just recycled original trilogy movie without the charm.
@@YTChannel420 No, my ignorant friend. NO. Eat up those Disney turds.
Happy 20th Phantom Menace
Happy 20th Anniversary Phantom Menace! I seen it in the cinema, I was ten.
SirTyJensen me too :_)
Old
I was only 7
Why did they change the line delivery at 1:39?! It was perfect and sounded so much more real than what was in the film xD
Lucas probably thought it sounded too human so he had her do it like a faux british snob
I think this is the best trailer ever...
Jesus. This trailer still gives me chills
People in 2000: The prequels are the worst thing to happen to Star Wars
Disney in 2016: Hold my blue milk
Disney has also put out some of the best Star Wars content of any era (the Mandalorian, Clone Wars, Fallen Order, Rogue One, etc). You win some you lose some.
This movie is underrated.
I like this movie very much.
The podracers are for sure the coolest vehicles ever. I remember how hyped I was watching them in both trailers. That closing shot before the title card is pure adrenaline.
I loved the Phantom Menace for what it is, not what it was made out to be by this Trailer.
Although I personally love the prequels, I do see why so many people were disappointed: they were a different style of movie than the originals, and the plot progressed weirdly. These movies are best looked at as a sort of a play, and only a sample of what was going on in the Star Wars universe at the time each movie takes place. George had too much he wanted to show but so little time (movies are two hours) to show it all in a decent way.
I left the theater saying 'I want to be a Jedi'... the lightsaber duels and the pod racing were epic. But even then I remember feeling like something was missing.
It was originally considered as teenage or adult Anakin follows Obi-Wan on "some damned-fool crusade" during the Clone Wars. Maybe like two would-be samurai looking for a lord and teacher. When questioned about Obi-Wan's story Lucas said he lied. I guess he lied too about saying Vader betrayed and murdered his father (which was true until Lucas made Vader his father in 1978).
If they rereleased this in theaters I'd go again in a heartbeat. I went more than once and saw the 3D one too. Still mad we didn't get the rest in 3D especially as I know they'd finished the Prequel versions! I waited decades and was NOT disappointed. I'm still not. It's my favorite 'stand alone' of the Lucas movies.
How would you rank the movies, out of curiosity
Saw the charity re-release and the 3D version too. Great memories of sitting in the theater on a hot summer day watching the Tatooine scenes.
My dad and I went and saw this together and both of us loved it!!!!
always was, always will be, THE BEST TRAILER
Darth Maul only has those lines throughout the movie 0:31
no, he also says, "Tatooine is sparsely populated, if the trace was correct, I'll find them quickly Master." and "Yes, my Master."
and "URRGH!" @@drewbex2250
and "yes my master"
Lol, you don't know shit apparently. Noob
Still more lines than boba fett
The trailer looked so good
Yeah and you’re so cute as well
@@VickiDep1 Pika Pika ⚡️
i love at the end of the trailer padme and qui gon are like "obi wan STFU!"
Anakin is like imma head out
Who ever made this trailer is a genius!
More excited by this trailer (25 years later) than the film itself.
I remember seeing the trailer around Christmas time in 1998, can't even remember what movie we were seeing. After we saw this trailer my mom turned to me and exclaimed, "That looks good!"
If only Star Wars would be this good one day again!!
If Disney remakes this for grownups then I'll see it.
Well in hindsight, I guess the movie really couldn’t live up to the hype, and this trailer remains one of the best movie marketing pieces EVER!
Who remembers downloading Quick Time & this trailer over dial-up, and taking nearly the same time as the run time of E1 to do so? Give a 👍
The hype for this movie was world breaking, I don't think we'll ever see something like that again
Happy 20th birthday today TPM
The first and last time the real martial arts master as a Jedi
0:47 The Force fanfare music here is amazing.
I saw this when I was 4 years old at Hoyts Manchester 6 (now called Parkade Cinemas) , I definitely remember it! Good times.
I've never understood the hate for this movie, it's a visual masterpiece.
I remember seeing this trailer and getting chills from hearing Palpatine say "Wipe them out. All of them." followed by Obiwan screaming "NOOOOOO!"
Jar jar lmao" yousa people gonna die "straight up dark lord HAHA
take me back to summer of 99' 10 year old me didnt appreiate it enough !
The day the trailer hit theaters, and you knew someone would put it online, but it would be low quality and take forever to download, or it would take a bit to be online officially, many of us went to any movie showing it to see the trailer. For me, I went during my lunch and bought a ticket for Wing Commander, watched this trailer, then went back to work not watching the movie. I saw Wing Commander that night, so saw the trailer twice that day. Wing Commander actually did very well sales-wise that day because of the Star Wars trailer, which was hilarious as most folks hated the Wing Commander movie or never even watched it. I don't care what people think about us all doing that, it was magical and to be able to share in that much excitement with tons of people was awesome.
These trailers were amazing.
The Episode 2 treaser with vader breathng and everythings kinda muffled and you see obi wan fight jango and your like HoLy Shiiiiiit!!!
@@hamsterSNAKE I liked the fake Episode 2 trailer, as well as Honest Trailer's Phantom Menace 3D.
I remember seeing this trailer as a 19 year old Star Wars fanatic, and that 'Wipe them out... all of them!' had me so bloody hyped.
I still think TPM is a great movie, it just wasn't what the trailer made it out to be.
I assume detractors of the new series will feel the same about them as they do the prequels now. Remember how everyone HATED them at the time?
Someone said kids didn't post their love of Phantom Menace online in 1999, so adult fans "controlled the media."
We're the same age!
It's true. We bought tickets in 1998 and 1999 just to watch the two trailers. Then walked out immediately after.
Still my favorite of all the prequels
When I saw this trailer one could anticipate Qui-Gon Jinn's death. It is still painful.
Before this movie came out I had this trailer saved in apple quicktime format and watched it every day for a couple of weeks... I remember thinking it was going to be awesome... such a sad day that was when I left that theater.
Exactly how I was with TFA.
Exactly how I was with SOLO
Henry Robles solo was great
Okay everyone, it was 1998 the teaser was on Enemy of the State, the full trailer was on Wing Commander and let me tell you it was packed. People were so ready for the trailer alone they were dressed like the character just to see the trailer and when the movie itself came out the critics didn’t like it but the fans loved it and couldn’t wait for more. I was 17 in the 11th grade at this time. I’m 42 now. Any more questions and I’ll be happy to answer.
The absolute highest ratio of trailer excitement to movie letdown
Unpopular opinion but this was my favorite star wars movie of all time!
I remember the hype as a child. This was huge
1:19 Wilhelm scream
1:19 I think I heard Wilhelm scream. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Wasn't that the guy that got killed by a crocodile in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom?
The Screen Quality of this Star Wars trailer looks so much clearer than how the screen quality Trailers for the original Trilogy were.
Queen Amidala: I will not condone a course of action that will lead us to war.
Sio Bibble: A communications disruption can only mean one thing, invasion.
Darth Maul: At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge.
Darth Sidious: Begin landing your troops.
Obi-Wan: We’re haven’t much time
Queen Amidala: The Federation has gone too far
Sio Bibble: The death toll is catastrophic
Queen Amidala: Our people are dying senator, we must do something quickly
Sio Bibble: You must contact me
Qui-Gon: There is something else behind all this your highness, they will kill you if you stay. I can only protect you, I can’t fight a war for you
Palpatine: I think we’re going to have to accept Federation control for the time being
Captain Panaka: This is a battle I do not think that we can win
Queen Amidala: I will sign no treaty, Senator
Jar Jar: Yousa tinken yousa people ganna die?
Obi-Wan: Once those droids take control of the surface they will take control of you.
Queen Amidala: I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die while you discuss this invasion in a committee
Padmé: Get to your ships!
C-3PO: They will never get me onto one those dreadful starships
R2-D2: *Beeps*
Yoda: Always do there are a master and an apprentice.
Darth Sidious: Wipe them out, all of them.
Obi-Wan: NOOOOOOOOOOO!
I love this movie! It’s a great one!
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
Adventure Action Science Fiction
Anakin Skywalker, a young slave strong with the Force, is discovered on Tatooine. Meanwhile, the evil Sith have returned, enacting their plot for revenge against the Jedi.
TRADE DISPUTEESSSS
Still better than any of the damned sequels.
Aw yeah. This movie's going to be so badass, I can hardly wait.
Still waiting for the remake: A buddy movie where two adults go off to become Jedi in the Clone Wars like Samurai.
I don't care what they say about Prequel trilogy I liked them
Phantom menece is underrated
I admit I was hyped for this movie. Maybe not all the prequels, but this one for sure.
BEST TRAILER EVER !🤩😍
This trailer is all over the place just like the plot of the movie but goddamn I love Phantom Menace so it's all great to me.
The Goosebumps never stop and the nostalgia flood my mind and hear of my youth spring up to renew my Imagination and Wonder that the STAR WARS SAGA brought to life.
Legitimizing Scif FI/Fantasy genre from Subculture/B-film into the stratosphere Cultural Awareness as a profitable entertainment not just for kids or the "dorks" but for ALL who Imagine it would travel its own journey to final achieve fandom and cult status into Pop Culture.
As a GenX er I grew up with the Original and loved the Prequel and witness all of them in theaters as they were meant to be seen and was fortunate to view this live concert, regrettably not with the original narrator as on the CD/DVD the Dark Lord of the Sith Emperor himself played by Ian McDiarmid but humorously our Narrator was the Talent Anthony Daniels Threepio himself who provide a unique experience back into the Saga.
May the 4th Be With You that are part of the true Fandom Menace and recognize the sincerity in introducing to the modern generation the Legend of the Hero's Journey with the Everyman story with the Hero of Many Faces.
May the 4th be with you aswell
When you're 8 years old when this film comes out, you really don't think it is a failure! ;)
Wipe them out...... all of them 😃
Ravedaze battle of Microsoft xp hills
I remember getting a good first impression after seeing this trailer in the theater, and then the movie came out..........
the effects dont look too bad to this day
Cutting down droids with lightsabers looks good here. My memory of the film was one attack looked like it was in slow motion.
22 years ago today...
TPM is still my favorite prequel.
I remember the day this trailer dropped. I was a freshman in high school and the A/V club got a video projector and some speakers and screened this on the wall of the cafeteria during lunch. Everyone went nuts. People were AMPED for this - and then we saw the actual movie...
ChiliConQueso And then what?
@@stephenmcdonagh8677 we don't talk about that
@@qtipmotha still hurted twenty years after ? sad
and then Star Wars was back and it was here to stay!
@@johnstavropoulos7049 Nope. Star Wars was ruined by the prequels. It took Disney to kill it with their shitty sequels and rape its corpse for the cash cow that it is (or was).
We had it so good back then
I remember my mum shouting me awake when I was like 14 that the new star wars trailer was playing on TV. I think I took 3 massive strides downstairs to see it. Still gives me chills. And I don't care, Phantom wasn't the worst. Clones was. Granted I was 18 by that point, but I remember me n my friends laughing out loud during episode 2. In the bad way.
Did anyone else notice that Padme's voice sounds off in this trailer? None of her lines sound like that in the movie.
It definitely sounds like a completely different take. Her voice sounds younger in this trailer compared to the movie.
@@Duelofthekates I'm wondering if they redubbed her voice for those scenes.
@@sethbell7988 They deepened it in post-production.
I remember seeing this movie in 8th grade
I like the use of the Wilhelm Scream at 1:20.
I'm so sick of that; let someone else scream for a change.
Nostalgia
How come they could not make a trailer for these last three films in this style with this music?
Watch the movie and then watch this trailer. Natalie Portman's voice must've been dubbed, because she sounds really high pitched here.
I had the same thought. The trailer has her normal speaking voice, so she was either dubbed by someone else or she rerecorded her lines in a deeper voice. Either way, I wish they'd kept her normal voice because it's less painful to listen to.
Keira Knightley was Queen Amidala at times. They did that to hide and protect the real Queen Amidala. Or something to that affect.
@@tastywaffle Nope, they simply applied filters and did more sound editing. This was her raw recording.
Lucas was editing the movie all the way up to 2-weeks out from release.
@@colliric I see. Very interesting.
@@jasonwalsh6032 Rose Byrne is in Episode II.
We are now almost as far away from TPM's release as people in 1999 were from ANH's release.
