Trailer for the STAR WARS: THE PHANTOM MENACE Theatrical Re-Release

Posted byHobby admin

George Lucas’ Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace is returning to theaters for the film’s 25th anniversary in May.

This is pretty exciting for fans who grew up watching this movie. While a lot of Star Wars fans don’t care for the prequel trilogy, there are a lot of fans who love them!

I remember being so freakin’ excited for this movie when it was released in the summer of 1999. I remember waiting in line with my friends to watch the film. I remember cheering in the theaters when the movie started with the John Williams music and the opening crawl!

Then, I remember walking out of the theater and we were like, “What in the hell was that!” I’ve come to appreciate this movie more over the years, though, especially after Lucasfilm’s mess of a sequel trilogy.

I also love aspects of the movie, especially the Darth Maul vs. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn Duel of the Fates battle. That right there is the reason why I will be returning to theaters to watch the movie. Watching that on the big screen will be awesome!

The Phantom Menace sets the stage for the saga with a tale of political intrigue and the rise of Darth Vader. The Galactic Republic is in turmoil as Trade Federation forces blockade the peaceful planet of Naboo. Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi are dispatched to negotiate, only to find themselves embroiled in a sinister plot orchestrated by the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious.

Along the way, they encounter young Anakin Skywalker, a slave with a strong connection to the Force. As they navigate treacherous alliances and face off against the formidable Sith apprentice Darth Maul, the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance, laying the groundwork for the epic conflict yet to come.

The movie stars Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Jake Lloyd, Ian McDiarmid, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Pernilla August, and Frank Oz.

The Phantom Menace is set to hit theaters ago on the May the 4th weekend starting on Friday, May 3rd. It will be in theaters for a limited time.

Will you be headed to theaters to watch The Phantom Menace on the big screen again!?
