Stam Fine Reviews looks at Star Wars Episode One The Phantom Menace, the first film in George Lucas’ prequel trilogy. In 1999, the release of a new Star Wars film was kind of a big deal. Also, the release of a disappointing (to many at the time) Star Wars film turned out to be an even bigger deal than if had been a great film.
Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) are sent to deal with the blockade of the planet Naboo by the Trade Federation. Having rescued Queen Amidala, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan hide out on Tatooine, where they meet a small boy- Anakin Skywalker- who might just be a super Jedi in waiting. Or not, no pressure.

Well, you’ve probably seen the film or are at least aware of the film’s reputation. We talk about it and how it came to be. We don’t excuse it, but we do understand it a little better.
