i hope that blonde kid who left his mama and is expected to bring balance to the force never falls to the dark side due to anger issues and some manipulative old man.
Will never forget downloading the original trailer on dial up, all day long, and then watching endlessly. This was the start of an entire new generation of kids that these movies were specifically made for.
I was 36 years old when this trailer came out, and I watched it over and over again, tears streaming down my face, thinking I would never see another Star Wars movie, and here it was. I could not wait to see it. Continuing a tradition I started with Empire Strikes Back, I got tickets for the midnight showing at Destiny USA in Syracuse NY (then Carousel Center) and loved every minute of the movie. 25 years ago, hard to believe!
Same here, and when the next theatrical Star Wars movie (The Mandalorian & Grogu) comes out in 2026 my age will be the same numbers...just not in the order I would prefer. ;-)
What's wild is that when this movie came out I was 19 and it was closer to the release of the original star wars (22 years) than the distance between now and this movie (25 years). Time flies by.
I was 6 years old in 99' My Grandad died that year who was my best friend at the time. My Mum and Auntie took me to see this film called star wars. Had no real idea what it was about.... My Mum said it was a way for me to deal with the trauma of losing my grandad. My life changed for ever.... My love and excitement for star wars has never left me since being a young boy. I'm now 31 with a daughter whom I want to share these moments with. This film will always be a special film for me. ❤️
@@SuperDeathStudiostrue imax is an experience. The screen kind of surrounds you, and it's more than just sound and visual quality increase. The one at my theater is just a bigger normal screen with visual quality increase and then better sound.
I finally got to experience this movie in cinema for the first time and boy was it good. Hearing Duel of the Fates and watching it was spectacular. I hope they re release the whole saga
I watched it in theaters for the first time now too! It made me appreciate this movie a whole lot more tbh cuz I would often think it was slow or boring but seeing it in theaters made me feel more excited about it!
They've already rereleased Empire and Jedi for their anniversaries. And Rogue One got a rerelease to promote Andor with. So that leaves Clones, Sith, Solo, Hope & the sequel trilogy for individual rereleases.
I remember camping out in front of a theater over night, with a line that wrapped around the building (nearly twice) just to buy tickets. People cosplaying, having pizzas delivered to the front of the theater, BBQing, playing Star Wars games (Trivial Pursuit, etc), blasting Star Wars soundtracks on stereos. It was a total blast!
I remember downloading this over 14.4kbps in 1998; learning what "Quicktime" was, and how to get such a "high fidelity" form of video to play back on Windows 95. Amazing work, @Star Wars. You successfully accessed core memories within me!
I spent 18 hours downloading this trailer back when it first came out. It had been 16 years since Return of the Jedi. We thought we would never see another Star Wars movie. The first time seeing "Every saga has a beginning..." gave me goosebumps.
When this film first came out, I was a mountaineering instructor at an outdoor centre. I booked the day off for the movie, six months in advance and then saw it in a cinema that had a screen that was only just bigger than the TV I own these days. I thoroughly loved it then and now, when I saw it on a huge screen when it came back recently. This is a charming film and it brings me so many happy memories of a life I loved. 🖤🖤🖤
I was 10 when this trailer originally came out and I CRIED because it was brand new Star Wars. I couldn’t believe it and I saw the movie 6 times in theaters that summer. By far one of the BEST summers of my life!
I was 20 and I saw it 13 times at the cinema. That's still my record for the most times I've seen a movie at the cinema. My dad even went 5 times and he rarely went to the cinema to see a movie one time!
I was 8 years old when Episode IV came out in 1977, and 30 years old when Episode I was released in theaters. After Episode VI and 16 years of waiting, the anticipation was an event in itself. Of course I went to see both more than 5 times at the theaters. Like you, those were two of the best summers of my youth.
I was 19 when it released. The hype was unreal absolute legendary. Leading up to it was amazing. Despite what anyone thinks about the movie, the time around it had great memories that I'll always cherish. My favorite time is the Star Wars fan
Pod racing is still awesome to witness, even after two and a half decades! Also the light saber duel between Darth Maul, Qui Gon Jin and Obi Wan Kenobi with John Williams' "Duel of the Fates" theme playing is still an epic experience!
We all gathered around a coworker’s desk to watch a grainy copy of it on his CRT monitor. And then came boss man: “Hey, what’s everyone up to here? Seems like not a lot of work going on!” 😂
Yup, we had to shut the phone line down over night to watch a postage stamp sized 240p trailer in quicktime... I was blown away by the trailer... Then I watched the movie and was thoroughly disappointed. That year belonged to the Matrix.
I love that the organic 35mm grain structure is intact in this trailer. It's really lacking from the Disney+/UHD Bluray presentation of the film, as it is an upscale of the 2K master with too much noise reduction applied, making certain shots look very waxy and pasty.
Sigh...if only they can re-master Episodes 1-6 with the grain structure intact. Looks like whoever is in charge of mastering the films doesn't like grain, which is a SHAME.
@@spartan2188lol you think the people in charge don’t like grain? It’s the consumer who is used to a slick digital look who will complain about film grain 💯
Younger peeps will never understand how pivotal of a moment this was. In pop culture history as well as in the history of the internet. There'll never be hype as intense as there was when this teaser was released, and it was one of the seminal moments where the internet came of age and heralded what was to come
Memories of ‘99. Right before I saw the movie I went to Toys R Us, drooling over new Star Wars action figures. Literally a dream come true. Then after the show I had Taco Bell and browsed Blockbuster Video. This actually happened. What a time to be alive! ❤
I'm 35 now and man I sure miss those days. Used to leave Hollywood video on a Friday with an absolute stack of new movies to binge in HS. Playing outside too, not a lot of kids do that anymore. Good times!
He's all CG in the movie, so jarring to see this poorly done puppet version in the trailer. I think the main problem is his face is too stiff. The OG puppets were much more expressive

@@pixelbat It damned feels like it! It scares the hell out of me whenever I see a TV show billed as a "period drama," or "period sitcom," and its set in the 90s! Makes me feel sick sometimes!
I am tired of pretending that this is a bad movie. Does it feel different than the others? Yes. But it adds so much depth to the universe and does it well.
I love this movie and the entire Prequel Trilogy, I'm so glad these movies are getting love and recognition. Star Wars wouldn't be the same without them, they added so many interesting things to the canon. Today is also the 19th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith. I hope this film returns to theaters next year for the 20th anniversary ♥️
@@MediaLoverChris02 what's wierd is that these people are giving money to Disney (who created the sequel trilogy and disregarded Anakins fate and sacrifice) to see Phantom Menace, the genesis of Anakin and the beginning of Qui-Gons view of the chosen one to destroy the sith. Actually, yes,it's very wierd from a storytelling and marketing standpoint.
Episode 1, 2, and 3 holds the same special place in my heart as those who grew up with the Original Trilogy. Still a testament to the OG trilogy that few after has even come close to equating, let alone surpassed them.
I Grew Up With The Phantom Menace, Attack of the clones and The OT. They Were Great Movies To Watch as a Kid, Especially Because I was so dumb to not even know that Anakin Skywalker was Darth Vader. (I watched these movies when I was like 4.)

@@josephdevens6815they're making tons of money with this. You have to think like a business. These sheep will gladly take this, give Disney money and keep the franchise going.
There was a web site - Apple trailers. And usually there were 3 sizes - 180p, 240p and 360p. And the "Phantom Menace" trailer was the first avalible in 480p! The resolution was outstanding! I still have those trailers burned on a CD somewhere...
Absolutely. They definitely won't slate these movies and complain about them until a future film called "The Last Jedi" shows them what a bad Star Wars movie REALLY looks like /s
I remember seeing this trailer for the first time in cinema, we went to watch The Matrix. Once the music started we were all in awe. We immediately said no way, star wars? What a time it was...
This movie has such a special place in so many people's hearts, especially the young kids who grew up with this being the first star wars movie they saw in theaters. Was impossible not to tear up being in a packed movie theater after 25 years in 2024 to see it again with all of those same kids that are now adults around 30. Really beautiful experience man. I can't wait for the re-release of AOTC and ROTS
This trailer was brilliant! The movie however, was not. I remember waiting an hour on a public computer for this trailer to download in early internet days, and going to movies just to see this trailer.
This was the very first movie I got to see in theatres. I begged my mom to let us go see it with my brother. She finally agreed and It opened the world of Star Wars for us. It doesn't matter what people say about it; this movie created special memories for a 13-year-old. It will always be one of my favorite and special films.
Midnight showing, Westminster California. A theater that usually showed foreign films with subtitles was playing it, so NO ONE KNEW that there would be a showing there. Not only did we not have to wait in line, but the theater never even fully filled up. It was amazing. It still had a lot of fans in it. We thought we weren't going to catch the premier, because it was sold out at every conventional theater, but again, we lucked out by checking this one. It was my first midnight showing, and what a great film to be my first midnight showing.
Looks like exactly 27 minutes has gone into editing this trailer. Disney aren't even trying to hide their blatant and disgusting cash-grabs anymore. Kind of a relief to be honest, it's hard to be dissapointed when the poor quality shines through from the very get go.
A huge thanks and congratulations to LucasFilm for scanning and releasing this trailer. It looks marvelous. It would be nice to see a new scan of a nice interpositive of the whole feature that maintains the 99 theatrical cut and quality of the original prints.
Okay, how many of you True Star Wars fans remember going to the theater in March 1999 to watch a movie called “Wing Commander” ONLY because that was the only movie that ran This trailer for “Star Wars 1: The Phantom Menace”?
This was in the cinema last week for its 25 year anniversary. People clapped when the Star Wars logo came on the screen. It was such a nostalgic experience. I watched this movie almost every week as a child and I still love it. I could talk along some of the scenes (as did another guy a row behind me in the cinema, lol). It is just so much fun. The Naboo planet is gorgeous and the pod racing sound effects are insane. I think this is my most watched movie ever.
I was there too back at the cinema recently for the 25th anniversary. Even though I saw it in cinemas when the movie first came out, I was a little too young to remember the event. Seeing it again all these years later was a truly remarkable experience. One thing I never appreciated was how truly great the sound of this movie is. Not just the musical score but all the sound mixing and audio effects.
This is the greatest of all star wars movies, with such lovable characters like the little yound anakin, epic galactic battles and truly cinematic pod race, this was so good, I ended up nicknaming myself a "Jedi" :)

@@lighting4000 мне тоже.
Step 1: Re-Release movie
Step 2: Re-Release trailer when movie is out of theaters
Step 3: ?????
I know right…either they’re incompetent or they HATE making money…I don’t get it.
@@josephdevens6815they're making tons of money with this. You have to think like a business. These sheep will gladly take this, give Disney money and keep the franchise going.
There isn't any purple hair in this one is there?
One of the best Star Wars movies ever. Prove me wrong
i was 9 years old when I saw this in 1999 theaters with my family
Same!!! We were the same age as lil’ Ani! And yet… we would be considered too old to train
I remember downloading this on Quicktime back in the day, waiting FOREVER!!
Still got chills watching this! 😊
There was a web site - Apple trailers. And usually there were 3 sizes - 180p, 240p and 360p. And the "Phantom Menace" trailer was the first avalible in 480p! The resolution was outstanding! I still have those trailers burned on a CD somewhere...
man , surely the fans will treat this film and its actors with as much respect and love as they deserve....
Absolutely. They definitely won't slate these movies and complain about them until a future film called "The Last Jedi" shows them what a bad Star Wars movie REALLY looks like /s
really grasping at straws after the failure of the sequels
Unlike Disney / Lucasfilm, I actually took the time to remaster the trailer. Even have an HDR version. Let me know what you think.
Still a blazing trailer. What a moment in time that was.
Huh that's wierd. The title logo at the end is missing "The Phantom Menace".
Can’t wait to see this new jar jar binks character, hope he doesn’t become the idealistic reason people will potentially hate these prequel movies
Except jar jar episode 1 and 2 isnt bad at all if you understand the story
May 19th 1999. A day that will long be remembered. May the 4th (Force) be with you. Always.
I remember seeing this trailer for the first time in cinema, we went to watch The Matrix. Once the music started we were all in awe. We immediately said no way, star wars? What a time it was...
Very underrated movie
I think we'll be getting a Darth Jar Jar Bings film soon..🌚
Awesome Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Remastered Trailer.
The beauty of the prequels shall be revisited again
Insane how much better this movie is than people think. Maybe the best looking Star Wars movie
That would be The Last Jedi or Rogue One. The CGI in these prequels looks very dated.
This movie has such a special place in so many people's hearts, especially the young kids who grew up with this being the first star wars movie they saw in theaters. Was impossible not to tear up being in a packed movie theater after 25 years in 2024 to see it again with all of those same kids that are now adults around 30. Really beautiful experience man. I can't wait for the re-release of AOTC and ROTS
SPOILER: Darth Maul lives!!
I must admit: I still really love this movie. Saw it in cinema back then, great experience!
I hope these films never get a bad sequal
😂😭
The prequels were a bad sequel lmao
I'm surprised nobody else is commenting on it, but I love how it seems to be before we even knew what the subtitle was
This trailer was brilliant! The movie however, was not. I remember waiting an hour on a public computer for this trailer to download in early internet days, and going to movies just to see this trailer.
Womp whomp...
Now all they gotta do is remaster the whole movie.. oh wait
This movie will always be special for me
Ooooh they remastered the TRAILER. Got it.
This will be the best Star Wars movie ever! Can't wait to see it!
Oh wow, an official Star Wars trailer on RUclips with a comment section that's not toxic and braindead, now I've seen it all
Did they give the job of "remastering" this trailer to an intern? This is DVD quality at best.
Thanks for bringing this Movie back in cinemas and for me feeling like a child again ❤
This was the very first movie I got to see in theatres. I begged my mom to let us go see it with my brother. She finally agreed and It opened the world of Star Wars for us. It doesn't matter what people say about it; this movie created special memories for a 13-year-old. It will always be one of my favorite and special films.
Mine was ALIEN. You’re lucky.
Midnight showing, Westminster California. A theater that usually showed foreign films with subtitles was playing it, so NO ONE KNEW that there would be a showing there. Not only did we not have to wait in line, but the theater never even fully filled up. It was amazing. It still had a lot of fans in it. We thought we weren't going to catch the premier, because it was sold out at every conventional theater, but again, we lucked out by checking this one. It was my first midnight showing, and what a great film to be my first midnight showing.
I know this film sucks. It’s sucked every time I’ve watched it. But I still
Wanna see it again.
Sometimes it's ok to enjoy bad movies.
Looks like exactly 27 minutes has gone into editing this trailer. Disney aren't even trying to hide their blatant and disgusting cash-grabs anymore. Kind of a relief to be honest, it's hard to be dissapointed when the poor quality shines through from the very get go.
A huge thanks and congratulations to LucasFilm for scanning and releasing this trailer. It looks marvelous. It would be nice to see a new scan of a nice interpositive of the whole feature that maintains the 99 theatrical cut and quality of the original prints.
Looks a lot better without DNR
Super underrated film
Was such a perfect time as a kid to be ushered into the Galaxy far far away. Ill never forget
Okay, how many of you True Star Wars fans remember going to the theater in March 1999 to watch a movie called “Wing Commander” ONLY because that was the only movie that ran This trailer for “Star Wars 1: The Phantom Menace”?
This trailer always made this movie look way better than it actually ended up being...
This was in the cinema last week for its 25 year anniversary. People clapped when the Star Wars logo came on the screen. It was such a nostalgic experience. I watched this movie almost every week as a child and I still love it. I could talk along some of the scenes (as did another guy a row behind me in the cinema, lol). It is just so much fun. The Naboo planet is gorgeous and the pod racing sound effects are insane. I think this is my most watched movie ever.
I was there too back at the cinema recently for the 25th anniversary. Even though I saw it in cinemas when the movie first came out, I was a little too young to remember the event. Seeing it again all these years later was a truly remarkable experience. One thing I never appreciated was how truly great the sound of this movie is. Not just the musical score but all the sound mixing and audio effects.
that blonde kid looks so sweet! I sure do hope that he’s not gonna fall to the dark side
lol no way does this look remastered
Looks like they just scanned a print and called it a day
@@SHDEdits you can still see the film grain
@@RuinNationGamingthe film grain is fine. It’s the softness that bothers me. It looks more like a DVD upscale than a 4K remaster to me.
This is the greatest of all star wars movies, with such lovable characters like the little yound anakin, epic galactic battles and truly cinematic pod race, this was so good, I ended up nicknaming myself a "Jedi" :)
Man, modern politics could learn something from Yodas words...
25 years... I feel old.
As long as they clean up the scenes, nothing better be changed.
This is just a remaster of the original trailer with4K footage. They aren't doing anything with the actual film.
Now with Ewoks and a new musical number performed by Gungans during the end scene!
@@jimb.7523 You mean the Gungas?
They already butched it bad enough with the edits on the DVD version and so on I want the theatrical version
They edited Yodas puppet out for a cheap CGI character
I bet that blonde kid will grow up to be a good Master to the younglings jedis.
