You, sir, are a true perfectionist and get the most respect from me. Not only you updated the footage with Blu-ray versions, but found all the photos in maximum available quality and remade all the titles and such. Splendid work. I was considering doing this myself, but the amout of time needed to do all this, unfortunately turned me off.
Thank you so much for doing this. I can only imagine the painstaking labour required to seek out every clip and sync to the original. The finished product is beautiful! It sucks that the RLM subreddit is condemning it (by blocking those who post about it for 'piracy'), I hope the lads see it and either host it themselves, or at least give a well done for your efforts. This is truly dedicated fandom. Well done!
Seriously, this is an absolute gift to fans. Part of me wants it as one whole, but I've rewatched these so many times that it would be bizarre for it to be seamless. Doubt you have to imagine it, I feel like you better than anyone knows what it's like to scour the internet for clips to sink to hours of audio. Huge fan, cheers!
The RLM subreddit is full of retarded joke-regurgitating andys and is run by a power-tripping nazi mod. I wouldn't expect much intelligence from that lot.
2:44 Paul Atreides also fits in here, since his name (and Jessica's) is most "normal" compared to Yuhe, Thufir Hawat, Vladimir, Feyd-Rautha or even his dad Leto
If you haven't seen it yet, there's an extended version of the interviews where he asks about more characters like Leia and Mace Windu: ruclips.net/video/KbFCM3vK7iY/видео.html
I thought about doing something like this myself, but was just pleasantly surprised to learn this has been around for 2 years and a ton of work went into it. Good stuff!

It's the best Star Wars trilogy, the greatest Star Wars trilogy, the richest, most accomplished, 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 period of the Clone Wars, a crucial moment in Star Wars history. A fundamental and exciting turning point. The Clone Wars period is the best period of Star Wars. The fascinating plot that unfolds throughout the films. The rise of Palpatine, Darth Sidious, is masterfully depicted. His behind-the-scenes machinations to undermine the Galactic Republic and bring the galaxy under his control are meticulously presented.

Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader is a superb, memorable, breathtaking scene. The connection with the original trilogy is very well done. Anakin's internal conflict between his loyalty to the Jedi Order and his desire to save those he loves makes his story deep and tragic. His journey 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.

Yeah I just got banned for making a post suggesting that RLM do a remaster of the reviews and someone sent me this. I'm amazed though, if RLM weren't gonna remaster them, what's the problem with someone else doing it? 95% of the clips aren't owned by RLM anyway.
Why is it that redlettermedia can rip apart a star wars movie with so many video and audio clips from the movie, and for ten years for it to still be up on youtube with no strikes? Do they monetise? How many pizza rolls do you think Mr Plinkett made from all this? Could it be that the movie studios want these reviews on youtube!?

The Phantom Menace is a masterpiece and an important movie in the Star Wars universe. The Phantom Menace lays the foundations for the Star Wars universe. From the Galactic Republic to the Jedi, Sith and Padawans, the film plunges us into a rich and complex world. It also introduces iconic characters such as Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala and, of course, Anakin Skywalker. The movie tackles profound and important themes such as politics, corruption, power and destiny. For example, the rise of the Trade Federation and its blockade of Naboo illustrate the struggle for control and political manipulation. The Phantom Menace is above all the story of Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one destined to bring balance to the Force. His introduction as a young slave on Tatooine to his meeting with Qui-Gon Jinn represents the beginning of his journey into light and darkness. The movie is packed with memorable, iconic scenes. From the pod race on Tatooine to the final duel between Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Darth Maul, and the epic battle of Naboo, every sequence is carefully orchestrated. The Phantom Menace also expands the saga's universe by introducing new worlds, races, technologies and concepts. The planet Naboo, for example, offers a striking contrast to the more austere settings of Tatooine and Coruscant, while the Gungans, Dugs and Toydarians bring a new dimension to the livelier, more populated and more diverse Star Wars universe. The menacing shadow of the Sith hangs over the entire movie, foreshadowing Darth Sidious's rise to power and Anakin's ascent to the dark side of the Force, giving full meaning to the title of The Phantom Menace. The presence of Darth Maul embodies this imminent threat and adds a dimension of danger. George Lucas draws on many religious traditions to shape the Star Wars universe, and The Phantom Menace is no exception. The Jedi are warrior monks who follow a strict moral code and are dedicated to protecting peace and justice in the galaxy. Their belief in the Force, a mystical energy that permeates everything, reflects concepts of spirituality and universal connection. For example, the scene in which Qui-Gon explains the Force to Anakin is imbued with an almost religious atmosphere, reinforcing the importance of this belief in the Star Wars universe. The Phantom Menace highlights the dangers of a corrupt and manipulative government that controls the masses to serve its own interests. The Trade Federation, under the influence of Darth Sidious, imposes a blockade on Naboo to force Queen Amidala to sign an unjust treaty. This political and economic manipulation recalls real-life themes of tyranny and oppression, giving the movie a profound social resonance. The pod race on Tatooine is one of the most memorable sequences in The Phantom Menace. Beyond the spectacular action, this scene symbolizes adventure and self-transcendence. Anakin, a young slave, defies expectations and takes risks to save his family and fulfill his destiny. The race is a mixture of adrenalin, suspense and courage, showing the determination and talent of our future hero. The Phantom Menace also offers an epic adventure in a futuristic setting, with interstellar travel, advanced technologies and exotic worlds. This combination of science fiction and classic adventure is reminiscent of George Lucas's signature narrative style. The film's visual universe, from the sprawling cities of Coruscant to the arid deserts of Tatooine, is immersive and captivating, transporting viewers to a distant galaxy full of possibilities. The Phantom Menace also lays the foundations for the prophecy of the chosen one, a central concept in the Star Wars saga. Anakin Skywalker is presented as the chosen one destined to bring balance to the Force. His introduction as a young slave on Tatooine to his meeting with Qui-Gon Jinn represents the beginning of his journey towards fulfilling this prophecy. For example, the scene in which Qui-Gon recognizes Anakin's exceptional potential and decides to take him under his wing evokes the theme of destiny and the inescapable fate of the chosen one. The Phantom Menace explores the complexities of political power and manipulation. The rise of the Trade Federation under the influence of Darth Sidious and its blockade of Naboo trigger a political crisis that threatens the stability of the Galactic Republic. This complex political intrigue, with its shifting alliances and secret maneuvers, gives the movie a depth and relevance that resonates with real-world problems. The Phantom Menace establishes many coherent links with the original Star Wars trilogy, enriching the saga as a whole. For example, the introduction of Darth Sidious as Senator Palpatine lays the foundations for his rise to power and transformation into a tyrannical emperor in subsequent episodes. Similarly, Qui-Gon Jinn's mentoring of Obi-Wan Kenobi foreshadows the master-apprentice relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin that plays a central role in the rest of the saga.
Star Wars The Phantom Menace is much more than a science-fiction film for George Lucas. It's a deeply personal work that reveals his recurring themes, his malaise, his past experiences and his political convictions. To understand it, you also need to understand George Lucas' background. First of all, the theme of the struggle against oppression and tyranny is omnipresent in George Lucas' work. In THX 1138, George Lucas depicts a dystopian society where the government exercises totalitarian control over the population, a theme that is also found in The Phantom Menace. In both films, this control is embodied by an authoritarian regime that closely monitors its citizens, creating a climate of fear and oppression. In THX 1138, this surveillance is manifested through security cameras and flying drones, while in The Phantom Menace, it takes place through corrupt government bodies, such as the Galactic Senate infiltrated by Palpatine. What's more, in both films, citizens are subjected to tight control over their emotions and behavior. In THX 1138, inhabitants are forced to take drugs to suppress their emotions, while in The Phantom Menace, Jedi are forced to follow the Jedi code, which forbids them to express emotions such as anger and passion. This control of emotions reflects the government's desire to maintain order and stability at all costs, even at the expense of individual freedom. Moreover, in both films, individual freedom is stifled by a system of strict control. In THX 1138, inhabitants are assigned to specific jobs and roles in society, with no possibility of choice or autonomy. Similarly, in The Phantom Menace, the Jedi are assigned to specific missions and are subject to the authority of the Jedi Council. This lack of personal freedom reinforces the government's control over the population and creates a sense of powerlessness and despair among the inhabitants. The parallels between The Phantom Menace and THX 1138 demonstrate the continuity of George Lucas' preoccupations with totalitarian control and government oppression across different contexts and fictional universes. These recurring themes illustrate George Lucas's insight as a filmmaker and his commitment to exploring the dangers of authoritarianism and the loss of individual freedom. George Lucas' concern about the rise of authoritarian regimes during the Cold War is reflected in both films, illustrating his belief that individual freedom is fragile and must be protected against the forces of oppression and tyranny. The characters in The Phantom Menace are not simply fictional archetypes, but deep reflections of George Lucas's own internal struggles. Anakin Skywalker, in particular, embodies the torments and dilemmas George Lucas felt throughout his life. Anakin Skywalker faces a multitude of inner challenges that resonate with George Lucas' own struggles. First of all, Anakin is tormented by his inner demons, notably his fear of failure and his need for recognition. As a filmmaker, George Lucas has often expressed his own struggle with insecurity and self-doubt. Anakin thus represents this universal quest for self-acceptance and understanding, a theme that George Lucas explores profoundly through the character. What's more, George Lucas has often said that he felt like an outsider in the film industry, trying to make a place for himself in a world that was foreign to him. Anakin, too, is an outsider, a freed slave who finds himself immersed in a world of Jedi knights and galactic politicians. His desire to fit in and find his place in this new universe mirrors George Lucas' own struggles to find his way in the film industry. In addition, George Lucas' childhood had a major influence on his work, particularly his interest in fairy tales and mythological stories. These themes are omnipresent in the Star Wars universe, and are particularly explored in The Phantom Menace. The character of Qui-Gon Jinn, for example, embodies the archetypal mentor, guiding Anakin through his heroic journey. George Lucas' fascination with mythological tales is also evident in the struggle between good and evil, a central theme of The Phantom Menace and the entire Star Wars saga. The film also explores George Lucas' political convictions, expressing them through the complex political intrigues of Star Wars. Corruption in the Galactic Senate and the rise of autocracy echo George Lucas' concerns about democracy and political accountability. He uses the Star Wars universe as a metaphor to explore the dangers of political passivity and mass manipulation.

The expansion of the universe is also great. New planets, races, creatures, peoples, and cultures are introduced, contributing to creating a larger and more diverse world.

Ah, back when the prequels were the big criticism from the star wars franchise.
Lucas wrote the lines in a limo on the way to the set each day.
"This is funny, by the way, I get it."
I thought about doing something like this myself, but was just pleasantly surprised to learn this has been around for 2 years and a ton of work went into it. Good stuff!
this is a masterpiece, thank you so much.
You should stitch this together into one, continuous video.
I shared this on the rlm subreddit to get you more views, and it seems to be working!
It's working! It's working!
Can't believe I never looked for this before. Kudos on all of the hard work,
Damn, this must have taken some time! 10/10 for effort, thank you so much
You deserve a 50 dollar bill sir. Your efforts are respected and appreciated, and should be included in RLM canon. Great work!
Insane how this doesn't have more views.
The original version at RedLetterMedia is almost up to 10 million, so there's that.
@@CarlEusebius What's RedLettMedia? That sounds like a shitty podcast.
You deserve a medal
My 18 yo son just told me how he prefers episode 1-2-3...I almost vomited. I then remembered Mr Plinkett ! I think he needs to see this.
Well at least your son has taste and did not join the dark side like you

Well I'm banned from the rlm subreddit now for piracy, it was worth it though to spred the word of your amazing work.
Yeah I just got banned for making a post suggesting that RLM do a remaster of the reviews and someone sent me this. I'm amazed though, if RLM weren't gonna remaster them, what's the problem with someone else doing it? 95% of the clips aren't owned by RLM anyway.
Why were you banned?
I was actually thinking about an idea like this for the clone wars review just yesterday, kudos to you must have been a lot of work
How did you find all those photos.
Mostly tineye and sometimes other things when that doesn’t work.
"....and Fantasy Jawas."
This surely matches Plinkett's original vision for this review. A masterpiece!

Hey could you please turn on the "Add Subtitles" option for these videos ? I really want to translate them.
Unfortunately, Google removed the community subtitle creation feature in 2020.

Why is it that redlettermedia can rip apart a star wars movie with so many video and audio clips from the movie, and for ten years for it to still be up on youtube with no strikes? Do they monetise? How many pizza rolls do you think Mr Plinkett made from all this? Could it be that the movie studios want these reviews on youtube!?

It's been a while since I watched the original. Did you do an impression of the voice or is it the original audio?

The Phantom Menace is a masterpiece and an important movie in the Star Wars universe. The Phantom Menace lays the foundations for the Star Wars universe. From the Galactic Republic to the Jedi, Sith and Padawans, the film plunges us into a rich and complex world. It also introduces iconic characters such as Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala and, of course, Anakin Skywalker. The movie tackles profound and important themes such as politics, corruption, power and destiny. For example, the rise of the Trade Federation and its blockade of Naboo illustrate the struggle for control and political manipulation. The Phantom Menace is above all the story of Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one destined to bring balance to the Force. His introduction as a young slave on Tatooine to his meeting with Qui-Gon Jinn represents the beginning of his journey into light and darkness. The movie is packed with memorable, iconic scenes. From the pod race on Tatooine to the final duel between Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Darth Maul, and the epic battle of Naboo, every sequence is carefully orchestrated. The Phantom Menace also expands the saga's universe by introducing new worlds, races, technologies and concepts. The planet Naboo, for example, offers a striking contrast to the more austere settings of Tatooine and Coruscant, while the Gungans, Dugs and Toydarians bring a new dimension to the livelier, more populated and more diverse Star Wars universe. The menacing shadow of the Sith hangs over the entire movie, foreshadowing Darth Sidious's rise to power and Anakin's ascent to the dark side of the Force, giving full meaning to the title of The Phantom Menace. The presence of Darth Maul embodies this imminent threat and adds a dimension of danger. George Lucas draws on many religious traditions to shape the Star Wars universe, and The Phantom Menace is no exception. The Jedi are warrior monks who follow a strict moral code and are dedicated to protecting peace and justice in the galaxy. Their belief in the Force, a mystical energy that permeates everything, reflects concepts of spirituality and universal connection. For example, the scene in which Qui-Gon explains the Force to Anakin is imbued with an almost religious atmosphere, reinforcing the importance of this belief in the Star Wars universe.
The Phantom Menace highlights the dangers of a corrupt and manipulative government that controls the masses to serve its own interests. The Trade Federation, under the influence of Darth Sidious, imposes a blockade on Naboo to force Queen Amidala to sign an unjust treaty. This political and economic manipulation recalls real-life themes of tyranny and oppression, giving the movie a profound social resonance. The pod race on Tatooine is one of the most memorable sequences in The Phantom Menace. Beyond the spectacular action, this scene symbolizes adventure and self-transcendence. Anakin, a young slave, defies expectations and takes risks to save his family and fulfill his destiny. The race is a mixture of adrenalin, suspense and courage, showing the determination and talent of our future hero. The Phantom Menace also offers an epic adventure in a futuristic setting, with interstellar travel, advanced technologies and exotic worlds. This combination of science fiction and classic adventure is reminiscent of George Lucas's signature narrative style. The film's visual universe, from the sprawling cities of Coruscant to the arid deserts of Tatooine, is immersive and captivating, transporting viewers to a distant galaxy full of possibilities. The Phantom Menace also lays the foundations for the prophecy of the chosen one, a central concept in the Star Wars saga. Anakin Skywalker is presented as the chosen one destined to bring balance to the Force. His introduction as a young slave on Tatooine to his meeting with Qui-Gon Jinn represents the beginning of his journey towards fulfilling this prophecy. For example, the scene in which Qui-Gon recognizes Anakin's exceptional potential and decides to take him under his wing evokes the theme of destiny and the inescapable fate of the chosen one. The Phantom Menace explores the complexities of political power and manipulation. The rise of the Trade Federation under the influence of Darth Sidious and its blockade of Naboo trigger a political crisis that threatens the stability of the Galactic Republic. This complex political intrigue, with its shifting alliances and secret maneuvers, gives the movie a depth and relevance that resonates with real-world problems. The Phantom Menace establishes many coherent links with the original Star Wars trilogy, enriching the saga as a whole. For example, the introduction of Darth Sidious as Senator Palpatine lays the foundations for his rise to power and transformation into a tyrannical emperor in subsequent episodes. Similarly, Qui-Gon Jinn's mentoring of Obi-Wan Kenobi foreshadows the master-apprentice relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin that plays a central role in the rest of the saga.
Star Wars The Phantom Menace is much more than a science-fiction film for George Lucas. It's a deeply personal work that reveals his recurring themes, his malaise, his past experiences and his political convictions. To understand it, you also need to understand George Lucas' background.
First of all, the theme of the struggle against oppression and tyranny is omnipresent in George Lucas' work.
In THX 1138, George Lucas depicts a dystopian society where the government exercises totalitarian control over the population, a theme that is also found in The Phantom Menace. In both films, this control is embodied by an authoritarian regime that closely monitors its citizens, creating a climate of fear and oppression. In THX 1138, this surveillance is manifested through security cameras and flying drones, while in The Phantom Menace, it takes place through corrupt government bodies, such as the Galactic Senate infiltrated by Palpatine.
What's more, in both films, citizens are subjected to tight control over their emotions and behavior. In THX 1138, inhabitants are forced to take drugs to suppress their emotions, while in The Phantom Menace, Jedi are forced to follow the Jedi code, which forbids them to express emotions such as anger and passion. This control of emotions reflects the government's desire to maintain order and stability at all costs, even at the expense of individual freedom.
Moreover, in both films, individual freedom is stifled by a system of strict control. In THX 1138, inhabitants are assigned to specific jobs and roles in society, with no possibility of choice or autonomy. Similarly, in The Phantom Menace, the Jedi are assigned to specific missions and are subject to the authority of the Jedi Council. This lack of personal freedom reinforces the government's control over the population and creates a sense of powerlessness and despair among the inhabitants.
The parallels between The Phantom Menace and THX 1138 demonstrate the continuity of George Lucas' preoccupations with totalitarian control and government oppression across different contexts and fictional universes. These recurring themes illustrate George Lucas's insight as a filmmaker and his commitment to exploring the dangers of authoritarianism and the loss of individual freedom.
George Lucas' concern about the rise of authoritarian regimes during the Cold War is reflected in both films, illustrating his belief that individual freedom is fragile and must be protected against the forces of oppression and tyranny.
The characters in The Phantom Menace are not simply fictional archetypes, but deep reflections of George Lucas's own internal struggles. Anakin Skywalker, in particular, embodies the torments and dilemmas George Lucas felt throughout his life.
Anakin Skywalker faces a multitude of inner challenges that resonate with George Lucas' own struggles. First of all, Anakin is tormented by his inner demons, notably his fear of failure and his need for recognition. As a filmmaker, George Lucas has often expressed his own struggle with insecurity and self-doubt. Anakin thus represents this universal quest for self-acceptance and understanding, a theme that George Lucas explores profoundly through the character.
What's more, George Lucas has often said that he felt like an outsider in the film industry, trying to make a place for himself in a world that was foreign to him. Anakin, too, is an outsider, a freed slave who finds himself immersed in a world of Jedi knights and galactic politicians. His desire to fit in and find his place in this new universe mirrors George Lucas' own struggles to find his way in the film industry.
In addition, George Lucas' childhood had a major influence on his work, particularly his interest in fairy tales and mythological stories. These themes are omnipresent in the Star Wars universe, and are particularly explored in The Phantom Menace. The character of Qui-Gon Jinn, for example, embodies the archetypal mentor, guiding Anakin through his heroic journey. George Lucas' fascination with mythological tales is also evident in the struggle between good and evil, a central theme of The Phantom Menace and the entire Star Wars saga.
The film also explores George Lucas' political convictions, expressing them through the complex political intrigues of Star Wars. Corruption in the Galactic Senate and the rise of autocracy echo George Lucas' concerns about democracy and political accountability. He uses the Star Wars universe as a metaphor to explore the dangers of political passivity and mass manipulation.
Increase the speed. That’ll fool em.
I can think of a number of ways to describe Queen Amidala: inquisitive, dutiful, headstrong, courageous.
