Episode description
This week we get in our time capsule and travel back to 1999 to discuss Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace! Released 16 years after the conclusion of the original trilogy, this epic space opera kicks off the Skywalker Saga, following a Jedi Master and his apprentice as they work to save the planet of Naboo from the Trade Federation, who are being manipulated by an eerily familiar dark figure. Starring Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Jake Lloyd, Ian McDiarmid, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Pernilla August, and Frank Oz, this film grossed a whopping $924 million in it's initial theatrical run... But Is Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace Good?
