This video was recorded at the Celebration Stage for the 20th Anniversary panel for The Phantom Menace in 2019.
This is a crowd reaction to the original 1999 cut of the Phantom Menace trailer, played at Star Wars Celebration Chicago 2019.
@EseChava 22 how
EseChava 22 it’s very clearly worded that this is from 2019. He says it multiple times.
Did you recognize the silence when Jar Jar first appeared😉
EseChava 22 1991 lol
@EseChava 22 It's the 1999 cut of the trailer played at Star Wars Celebration 2019.
I know this is new but imagine In 1999 "Anakin Skywalker, meet Obi-Wan Kenobi"
Wow
Don't need to imagine, i remember
I member that too! Big reaction in theaters from fans.
Michael White I was born months after this movie released I envy all you Star Wars fans old enough to experience that moment.
I can't wait to see Space 1999 style intros to these prequels 😃
Wasn’t that long ago lol
When you slowly begin to think this may have actually been 1999.
*guy in audience activates Kylo Ren lightsaber
You: Wait a minute
It's a time traveller.
I'm not even a "Star Wars Guy" and that was my exact reaction. Funny stuff!
That's nostalgia for ya. Movies can be terrible, but that doesn't mean people have to hate them.
My exact thought
LMAO
I couldn’t imagine being in 1999 and seeing this trailer for the first time.
Now imagine that you were in the theater, and had no idea what you were about to see...yeah...pretty mind blowing.
I can. I was there.
Saw this trailer back in 1998 and got chills! Following this trailer was the teaser for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me - one of the best teaser trailers of all time 😀
I was there...let me tell you...the hype was so real is was a disturbance in the force. I loved star wars. It was like the super bowl but if you waited your whole life (decade and a half) for the super bowl to happen and the super bowl was not a sports ball thing but FREAKING STAR WARS
I went to see it 3 times at the cinema and I’ve still got a soft spot for it
I don't care what anyone says... I always have, and always will love The Phantom Menace.
Funny, I also don't care what you say.
Whatever. Terrible movie. (Though not as bad as Episode VIII.)
you have Phantom Menace Haters above me but, I have to agree.
I absolutely love The Phantom Menace.

*crowd claps*
Obi wan is god, why wouldn't they clap?
They actually screamed and clapped because they just realised that their watching the birth of the OT
It's because they all thought "Hello there" as soon as he appeared
I clapped. I clapped when I saw it
@@twd_grimes10 r/woooosh
People in 2019 looking back at the prequels:
Perhaps I treated you too harshly
A lot of Star Wars fans just suck and apply thier personal chip on the shoulder to films. It's a way of projecting
Idk first 2 weren’t to good
the prequels were never bad
@@NafiurRahmanYT A lot of people complain about the acting and writing. Yet, after watching the original trilogy I have to say the same problems plagued those films. The acting/writing was cheesy at many points in the films. Not to mention the same trilogy basically retcons itself and has plenty of plot holes as well. Don't get me wrong, I love the original trilogy. I just don't understand how people can bash the prequels and not acknowledge that the original had plenty of flaws as well.
@@gcasillas1213 I agree, I don't think that any of the Star Wars films are what I would call great. The Original Trilogy had the effects ahead of their time which made them memorable but that's about it. The universe of Star Wars is amazingly detailed and it would be fantastic if they tried new stuff but they seem to be terrified of trying new things. Look at the Mandalorian, a fantastic new show barely connected to anything we've seen before and now it's a hit, they're planning on bringing known characters into it. What would be the point? Let it be its own thing instead of shoe horning already known characters in.
21 years after this movie came out and I still get chills from watching the trailer
@LUKE Thegoldenminecart
Hard to believe it's been that long... I was 10 when this film came out.
I remember going to the movies and seeing Enemy of the State with Will Smith precisely because we knew this trailer was going to be at the front. This was in Honolulu in 1998. We were all psyched by the trailer. I still get chills too because it reminds me of the unmitigated horror that actually awaited us with that trilogy...
@@DemonicRemption I was 9. Bloody good times watching this with my family.
Mark.
Why?
Dont care what anyone says, i will always love the prequel trilogy . They were my firstb in theater star wars movies, and i saw each one many many times . That "anakin skywalker, meet obi wan kenobi" scene still hits hard with sooooo much awsome nostalgia❤
Qui-Gon: "Anakin Skywalker, meet Obi-Wan Kenobi"
Everyone. : 🎉 🍻🥂🍾💐🍻🥂🎊🎉✨🥳
Funny how that ended!
Well that’s because they’re seeing young obi wan and another skywalker when the only skywalker they know at this point is Luke so this was definitely a big deal when the movie first came out
@Sterling Ashurst uhh this is from 2019 sooo they probably know just saying :)
@@sterlingashurst9131 we knew anakin skywalker before first movie
@@ledeux duhh. He’s talking about actually SEEING another skywalker
I love how the crowd were hyped at literally everything, and was completely quiet when they saw jar jar.
They knew. They knew.
hahaha seriously
I skipped a lot of episodes of the clone wars because of jar jar
I don’t get all the hate for jar jar
@@TylerWill_ makes it a movie for little babies
I went on opening night -- the audience gave a standing ovation at the end. I went back in the next several weeks and watched it 8 more times in total at the cinema. I had waited 16 years for another installment and it didn't disappoint. After that malcontents on the internet whinged and whined to each other and pulled everyone into their negative echo chambers. I always loved the film -- along with all the other prequels.
Yeah, I went through a period where I just echoed what Red Letter Media said about the Prequels, which is insane because I initially loved them.
Aside from Jeremy Jahns, I stopped watching “film critics” because the only opinion that matters is mine.
My mom took me to the midnight premiere as a gift for graduating kindergarten.
That never happened liar. I was there and we were all in disbelief in how much that movie sucked. The entire audience was speechless.
Yessss
I went 9 times.
As much hate as that film got... i still watched it countless times for the first two years after it was out. I love something about every episode.
People are always going to find something to hate on. I enjoy the movies as well.
I only hated Jar Jar and the kid actor.
@@kevinscott59 Jar jar was the only bad part of the movie. The politics people complained about is important to the story.
@@darthrevan2957 same and I find the prequels politics very fascinating
Until Episode 8 I was the same
"Anakin Skywalker, meet Obi-Wan Kenobi."
So insane when that trailer first aired
Should have been a much bigger moment in the movie

This year marks the 25th Anniversary of The Phantom Menace. Sheesh! Where have those years gone?! It seems only yesterday that I was watching this for the first time in the movie theater.
Happy 25 years, Episode I! The movie that began Anakin's journey and also gave us so much more.
🎂🥳
The crowd will have the explosive power of a tsar bomba when Revenge of the Sith hits 20 years old

No - showing the Dual Bladed Saber is what piled the extra Hundreds of Thousands of people in the theater in the first week.
Talk about showing that entire movie in that trailer
Ryan Scherbluk you should go watch the revenge of the Sith one dude
This is why my brother hasn’t watched a trailer for any film he wants to enjoy since AOTC, he’s now a huge marvel fan boy and won’t watch trailers to get hyped up, but tbh, I can see why lmao, trailers these days do show every god dam best bits of the film in a 2-3min trailer somehow XD
@@splorgify I like to watch the first 2 trailers a movie rereleases to get me hyped and then avoid all content relating to it in the following months so the footage in the theater is still fresh to me

"Trust me kid, you haven't seen anything yet"

it makes me happy to see the love these movies get after all these years.
I would have kept the second blade for to reveal itself in the movie
"Anakin Skywalker.. meet Obiwan Kenobi." Goosebumps..
@Michael McGrath anakin is the best character in star wars and ull nvr see any1 as amazing as anakin
Spencer Grady I know, even though I’ve seen it so many times, I still smile and get those goosebumps.
@Michael McGrath He's a lot better character in The Clone Wars tho
Michael McGrath Anakin was a great character, I don’t think you understand SW
Michael McGrath Anakin is kind and noble and stuff and a warrior but yes he can be annoying sometimes but over all it pretty matching
A long time ago, before Liam Neeson developed a particular set of skills.
He was a Jedi Master in another lifetime...
Skills that make him a nightmare to people like Disney
Had he had those skills, Darth Maul would have been toast.
Darth Maul: “Good luck.”
This is how he learned those particular set of skills. Too bad it didn’t help with Darth Maul though
Where do you think he developed said particular set of skills? ;)
I already watched the prequels many times but, for some reason I still get tears everytime I rewatch this vid. The hype is truly touching😭😭
Watching the whole thing along with these reactions are so wholesome, and the hype for it all is too real!!
:)). it brings a smile to my face.
It's always been interesting to me that they showed the double bladed lightsaber in the trailer, imagine seeing that for the first time ever in the theatre.
This made me think, what if so many modern movies didn't even include their big reveals in their trailers?
Captain America Civil War's trailer wouldn't show Spider-Man, The Force Awakens trailer wouldn't show Kylo's lightsaber, Rogue One wouldn't reveal Vader's appearance.
They showed it to advertise the movie. imagine in 1999 seeing a double bladed lightsaber, you would want to see more of it
These trailers were terrible. Why I never watch trailers! I want to be suprised!
Had the pleasure of seeing it for the first time in theaters
Not many people saw the trailer back in 99. The internet was still taking baby steps in thoose days. There were no smartphones no YT or FB; u needed a desktop PC and a dial-up connection (which was like 256 kbps) and websites with video streaming were very rare.
Most people saw it in theaters for the first time. I know i did. And i loved it.

Yes!

I’d bet money that if you hadn’t either you’d enjoy them more for what they are
I agree. Even if the movies were not that great at least they brought books, comics, games and tv series the sequels will never do better
I spent all night downloading this trailer in 1999.

Bottom right
That’s a time traveler with Kylo’s saber
Dude this was shown in the 2019 Star Wars celebration
Ah. Back in the days where the trailer literally spoiled the whole movie.
Ghost at least it’s not as bad as the revenge of the sith trailer
@@Christian-822 Yeah that trailer literally spoiled that anakin is gonna become a sith and palaptine is evil lol
Ghost but if they saw episode six and seven they would know anikin turns to the dark side
Ghost anyone who had seen the original trilogy (which was most people at that point) would know that anakin becomes Vader. Palpatine is less obvious, but still not very hard to guess. Just look at him, he just exudes evil.
Isn’t that still the case most of the time?
This trailer never gets old....

@@bigc6818 Yeah it had flaws but Phantom menace revolutionized technology and CGI. You only have these crazy CGI battles bc George Lucas had the balls to make it happen first
I remember seeing that trailer as a preview for a movie before Episode 1 dropped, was such a huge Star Wars fan I remember getting crazy goosebumps just *hearing* the blaster sounds and lightsabers. It was a wonderful theater experience and I'll always remember everyone wearing their Star Wars costumes to catch The Phantom Menace on opening night!!
I remember going to the movies and seeing Enemy of the State with Will Smith precisely because we knew this trailer was going to be at the front. This was in Honolulu in 1998. We were all psyched by the trailer. Little did we know what horrible disasters awaited us..
Those were magical days. Trailers brought so much excitement for a movie a year away.
🍀🍀
Guys, They showed the trailer from 1999 at Star Wars Celebration 2019 bc of 20 years anniversary. This video was made a few days ago.
oooohhhhh, that explains the crossgaurd lightsaber
Guys, we can read the description.
Well they could've done a better job with the trailer montage
I prefer in 3-D
That explains how they shot it in 4K, I was like... did they shoot this on film??
Despite their flaws, Lucas’s films had more originality and imagination than the recent films.
@Michael McGrath sequels are just trash copies of the originals
Imagination as in an inconsistent plot line. I feel like the entirety of the plot in the prequels was only accurate to that one scene with Obi-Wan giving Luke the brief history of his father in episode IV. I don’t understand how the same person wrote the originals and prequels and overlooked so many problems and inconsistencies in something he wrote himself.
Originality and imagination do not equal good films. As is evidenced by the prequels.
@JoTech It's actually very inconsistent with the original trilogy in a lot of ways, most notably in how all of the characters are portrayed.
@JoTech The basic beats of the story lines up, sure, but I'm talking about the movies from a character level. In the Original Trilogy, we learn that Obi-Wan and Anakin were great friends, even brothers, and we don't see that much at all in the prequels. They seem to be on edge with each other most of the time, apart from the very beginning of Episode III. We also see Yoda as a wise and peaceful Jedi master, who tells Luke that the Force is used by the Jedi for knowledge and defense, never attack. In the prequels he's a gung-ho military general, which makes no sense.
Being a 9 year old kid and having this trailer pop up before a movie without any idea it was happening beforehand was so awesome.
The animation on the title at the end of the trailer is the smoothest coolest thing I ever seen.
Watto got more cheers than Jar Jar lmao
Because he was actually funny.

I have hardcore nostalgia seeing this in theaters, then eating at taco bell afterwards and getting the large special cups with Episode 1 characters on them, then going to blockbuster and renting an N64 game. Life was good
A simpler time.
Right there with ya! I still have my N64 with Rumble Pak inserted in controller. :)
Despite being born in 2004, me and my family were still using those special cups with episode 1 characters into the late 2010s. I think we stopped using them in 2020 because they were getting old, but still, they had a long run.
Damn you old old huh
I was born too late to witness the prequels in movie theaters, feelsbadman
Episode I holds a special place for me, my first Star Wars film that I saw in the cinema and first time watching a SW film in the cinema where I had never seen it before. Good times, and a good film.
This was amazing to see, I was 7 or 8 when it came out, but Episode 1 was the film that started me on my Star Wars path, my obsession.

Ohh the nostalgia. I'm happy and feel lucky to have been a 10 year old kid back then. I feel the excitement I also felt back then
I didn’t grow up watching the prequels. They aren’t a “part of my childhood” and I don’t have any nostalgia for them. That being said, I absolutely love these movies. They tell interesting stories with great characters (there are more good characters than there are bad ones), amazing action scenes and are just tons of fun overall. No, they are not perfect: the cgi is pretty dated and although the romantic and political parts were necessary for the story, I understand that they aren’t fun to watch but that is about as far as my complaints go. They are no where near as bad as everyone was saying they were at the time and I’m glad to see more and more people are beginning to warm up to them.
Yup 😁
This mans name is “unpopular opinions” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
CGI wasn't dated back then, if you watch corridor crew video where they look at prequel's CGI, you will understand that. In fact it was peak CGI performance at the time and prequels were the first films to have full CGI scenes. No one has done that before.
Lunar Tuna That’s why I said it was “dated” but not actually bad.
@@l.pricetag.5207 Political scenes were needed for us to understand how a single sith could destroy republic and jedi. Romantic scenes were necessary to explain the downfall of Anakin. Not only because of that, but that was the main factor.
The hype for this movie was beyond anything you could possibly imagine.
Half Life 3
David Eagin in terms of hype, nothing has come close to it ever since.
And it was also one of the biggest letdowns....until TLJ haha
More than Halo 3 hype?
Way more than halo 3. I have never seen hype like this since, it was insane. People literally camping out for days in front of movie theaters. Staff had to inform the audience that there were no lightsabers allowed to be turned on during the movie etc.
There were cheers at multiple scenes on opening day, when R2 was introduced, when obi wan broke maul’s lightsaber, when anakin and obi wan met, and several other scenes.
I honestly can’t imagine _anything_ comparing to the hype for episode I, mostly because RUclips dissects everything ad nauseum these days, and because everything is divisive.
You have to understand, in 1999, it was pre 9/11, it was pre dot com burst, the economy was roaring, the budget was balanced, and every Star Wars movie ever made was a massive cinematic masterpiece both critically and financially. Nobody ever expected more, because the story was done, although there was always a hint because Star Wars was episode 4 5 and 6. At that time, Star Wars was universally loved and embraced by everyone, what was so fantastic about it was everyone was part of the fandom, young, old, black, white, rich, poor,,, there was no division in the fan base. So when news started circulating about a prequel trilogy, it was bonkers.
Nowadays not so much because there will always be naysayers.
I remember walking into a local comic shop and the guys behind the desk were giddy with excitement cause they had just downloaded this trailer and were about to watch it for the first time. At the time I had no idea what a movie trailer was. But then I heard the telltale sound of SW music and realized what they were watching. I was checking out Marvel's Secret Wars that I was collecting at the time and at the 1:36 mark they went nuts. WHOOOOAAAAAA!! DID YOU SEE THAT?!!! DID YOU SEE THAT?!! DOUBLE LIGHTSABER! PLAY IT AGAIN! AGAIN! YOU SAW THAT RIGHT?! WHO WAS THAT?! JIM! DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS?! Never seen what I thought at the time to be adults freak out like that over Star Wars. Then I saw the trailer. Still gives me chills.
I went when I was a boy that was my first Star Wars in the theatre you could never top my experience I had that day It was epic
I thought this was the crowd reaction to seeing the trailer for the first time. This is surprisingly enthusiastic for showing the trailer in 2019.
thewewguy8t88 at first it sounded like they were pumped for a new starwars movie.. but then the sound of their cheering changed from that of excitement to that of nostalgia after they began to realize xD
It was the best Star Wars trailer ever. The images on screen, we didn't know who these knew characters were, but we knew Obi Wan and Anakin, R2D2 and and of course Yoda.

I remember seeing that trailer for the first time in the cinema in 1999. I was 14-15 and it took me completly by surprise when the first fanfare of the soundtrack appeared. Oh my... I still get chilles from that moment when I think about it! Two years before, in 1997, I saw the Special Edition of the original trilogy in the cinema and I was hungry for more! I didn't care much about what the older fans said about the changes in the special edition or about The Phantom Menace. I loved it! And still do. What an amazing time for a teenage Star Wars fan the late 1990's were...
I remember watching that trailer back in the late 90s, it was an awesome trailer. Made us flock to go see it. People paid to see Meet Joe Black just to see this trailer, then after the trailer people left before the main feature started, that's how awesome this trailer was and still is.

We got 8 live action films, several animated tv shows and 1 live action tv show in just 20 years, and that's with a 10 year break in between.
Wow, for 1999 that was an awesome trailer.
This is the Teaser Trailer, the Theatrical Trailer was slightly better. Especially how it ended with Sidious classic line "Wipe them out, all of them!" & Obi-Wan screaming "No!" (Qui-Gon's death).
This was awful. Ruins like every plot point. Tells you the anakin wins podrace and ends in space battle. But the real travesty was revealing Darth Mauls lightsaber so limply, in the middle of the trailer and only using half a shot.
@@Rourkie09 doesn't show him winning only that it happens and there would have been no way to know the space scene was the ending before the movie dropped. You're 100% right on Darth Maul though, they should have not shown the double blade in any trailer
I remember going to the movies and seeing Enemy of the State with Will Smith precisely because we knew this trailer was going to be at the front. This was in Honolulu in 1998. We were all psyched by the trailer. Little did we know what horrible disasters awaited us..
I worked in tech support at a local ISP back in 1998. I remember watching this trailer on our T1 connection!!
Such nostaligia now. I remember watching this over and over in early 1999.
Hard to believe episode one is 20 years old, I was a kid when I first saw the originals during the 20th anniversary 1997 release.
_Red_1_ it will be over before ya know it buddy i was saying the same thint at 14 then before ya know it your out of highschool on your own
I was 4 years old at the time and I actually somehow have a faint memory of going to the movies to see it. l ended up falling asleep halfway through it though :( kid me had no idea.
Me too
So did I. I was in Kindergarten when those re-releases came out. My parents and I went and saw Empire and Jedi. For some reason we didn’t see a New Hope. I didn’t quite understand what was going on in The Phantom Menace when I was little bit still loved it all the same. These prequels were not perfect but I still appreciate them more then the Disney trilogy.
@@nicholash1691 it's amazing how epidsode one is where i was born at the same year XD
I knew the fans would still love episode 1
Plot Twist: Everyone in the audience are Lucasfilm employees
@@CaribbeanLounger and the disney star wars fans are tied up getting feed cheese by the evil mouse.
I saw that in theaters when it came out - crowd was epic like this x10
I love the prequels idc what anyone says. 😍
Okay, George.
Xeta Ok boomer

Phantom Menace was a good Star Wars movie
Of course it was! It was Episode 1! Even though you're supposed to watch A New Hope first
You, are a stupid person
sorry for the hate on this comment man, it is not the BEST Star Wars movie but it was better then Attack of the Clones, the holiday special, the two ewok movies, and I personally think it was better than Rouge One. The people that are hating on this comment are the idiots, not you.
@@leedoes3380 It is absolutely better than all of the new Star Wars movie. Force Awakens, Rogue One, Last Jedi, Solo, and Rise of Skywalker. There is no Disney Star Wars movie that is better than Phantom Menace lol
DangerouslyStupidGamer yep.
I remember watching this trailer for the first time and being so stoked. Seems like that was a long long time ago... haven't felt that way about Star Wars... since... 2015.
I jst got goosebumps looking at this, these day sarw long gone for starwars
Never thought I’d see people clap for the phantom menace
Times change, especially since the squeal trilogy is more hated than the prequel trilogy.
People are starting to realize that the prequels were a LOT better than they remember. Funny how unrealistic expectations can alter your viewpoint.
"Every generation has a legend" I genuinely feel bad for the current one. We didnt have the greatest movies, but we had ROTS, the clone wars, jedi knight, battlefront and the old republic, all which imo makes up to be the best generation of Star wars.
We had the x-wing simulator series, grand admiral thrawn, Mara jade skywalker, talon karrde, and darth Vader, and Star Wars was universally loved and embraced by everyone, old, young, black, white, male, female, with no division whatsoever in the fandom.
I was fortunate enough to be born just before Return of the Jedi, growing up with those movies and the wonderful 90's Star Wars games, then getting the prequels and the newer games after that. Of course, I lived to see the stuff that's come out more recently...but still, I think I got the best of both worlds. Oregon Trail Generation ftw!
@@nocrtname To quote from Mass Effect: "Ah yes, 'Expanded Universe'! A series of novels with incredible plotlines and amazing characters, allegedly telling far better stories than Disney ever could! We have dismissed that claim."
oh no honey. it makes it a decent era of star wars. Totally respectable and sometimes great. (kotor in particular). i suspect nothing will compare to the Return of the Jedi era star wars, as it was at it's media frenzy height. But even the 90's were exceptionally great with Heir to The Empire and other truly great novelizations, Dark Forces, X-Wing and other amazing games. as well as new action figures out, seeing the originals in theatres again, and New comics like Dark Empire. oh, and the Magic style card game! It was a good time to be a star wars fan for sure.
Buy yes, my daughter has seen every new star wars movie except the last in theatres... She fell asleep during the finale of The Last Jedi. lol. I didn't bother waking her up. She was glad i didn't. She was 9. I showed her the prequels- she really like Revenge of the Sith. thought the first two were genuinely bad. I showed her the originals and she was enthralled from start to finish! so yes, I feel bad for the new generation not getting any amazing star wars. But even from a 9 year old girl point of view, the originals and that era are where it's at. I can't even imagine what it was like being a kid in 1977! Even though i'm sure they were pretty cool in 1999 as a kid too.
@@moonwatcher99 Then Mass Effect is a twit. because many of the star wars novels are truly great. while the worst ones are only slightly better than Disney star wars. which is pretty god-awful admittedly. I can name off way more great novels than i can horrible ones, that is for sure.
The first time I saw this was my sophomore year in college, in the college's Macintosh lab (we had computer "labs" back then) when I downloaded a Quicktime video of this trailer from some ancient website that no longer exists and I can't remember the name of on a shared T1 line. I could not have been more hyped for this movie. I was 19 years old.
Man I love these prequels and I don't care if the whole world hates them I grew up with these. And jar-jar is awesome.
Man ill never forget this
Thank you and God bless....
The entire prequel trilogy is super underrated. Yes revenge of the Sith memes and jokes are hilarious and yes acting is corny at times, but the battle on mustafar and when obi wan tells anakin he was his brother will always be what made Star Wars a SERIOUS force to be reckoned with. Before those movies, Star Wars was more of a light humored fun family movie. While they maintained that in the prequels, they added the darkness needed to complete the story of Vader. The sequel trilogy’s did absolutely nothing for the skywalker story. They were like the annoying youngest sibling wanting to tag along with nothing to bring to the table
People talk about "how bad" the dialogue in the prequels was. But here we are over 20 years later and people are still quoting the movies incessantly. Something "that bad" doesn't last that long in pop culture
I now appreciate the prequels now we have the sequels
Imagine Disney makes a shittier trilogy in 10 years and we look back and say “ sequels weren’t as horrible as this garbage” lmao the cycle continues
@@--mynamejeff-- i have a feeling the sequels will always be garbage
I prefer the sequels than the originals, which is strewn with bad acting, bad special effects, and cringy dialogues. (Don't say it was made in the 60s blah blah blah...it was the best at that time blah blah blah... because I don't live in the 60s and I'm used to special effects of the modern times.)
I love how this movie makes backpacks in Star Wars canon. Not like, redesigned Star Wars versions of backpacks, but legit just backpacks they got from Target
Space Target.
Targetooine.
New hope, Luke’s aunt straight up wearing a jean jacket

🤣👍🏻
I remember waiting an hour for this trailer to download on a 28.8k dialup connection
My childhood. This is what got me into Starwars (:

ACB Films yeah...gaping mouth feminist...some legend
THE AMERICAN PATRIOT Left wing destroyed 😎😜😜
THE AMERICAN PATRIOT nobody asked you loser
Ahahahah nope.
We'll say "poetry" only in case there is the author.
In the sequels there are only copiated things and fanservice, disguised as """" poetry""""
Love Episode I always have, always will!
I can't wait until Spring 1999.
I was there....9 years old where they had the London premiere of the movie at the Odeon.
