  1. Voor de zoveelste keer #PhantomMenace aan het kijken. #StarWars Dit keer met Minion 2.

    Het blijven mooie plaatjes, maar wat een slecht verhaal is het. Met nog slechtere dialogen.

    En het is vast expres dat ze de (antagonistische) Trade Federation consequent The Federation noemen. #StarTrek

  2. From the #PhantomMenace doc:
    ▫️27:00 #LucasFilms lost Tattooine's location
    ▫️36:45 The trailer was for "the movie you WISH E1 was"
    ▫️41:55 "George had a bunch of Yes men around him."
    ▫️41:22 Marcia Lucas: "It was so bad, I cried."

  3. Jar Jar Binks actor Ahmed Best says his career "began and ended" with "Star Wars." As "Phantom Menace" celebrates its 25th anniversary, he told People magazine "Everybody came for me ... I'm the first person to do this kind of work, but I was also the first Black person, Black man." He remembers being ostracized from motion-capture work after the movie came out, but forged a new career as an educator and co-founder of the AfroRithm Futures Group. Here's more.

  4. Ok, I know this isn't exactly news to anyone, but I've been seeing a lot of articles about it getting a critical re-evaluation lately. They are wrong. I mean, if you saw it when you were six years old and it gives you the feels now, then great, but it's objectively a bad film in almost every way.

  5. I wish Star Wars Fandom would collectively wish Jake Lloyd well.

  6. A communications disruption could mean only one thing: software update. #att #qoto #PhantomMenace

  7. Look. I'm #GenX & I really didn't like #StarWars #TheLastJedi. And the #PhantomMenace was downright painful for me.

    But I still saw both many times in the theater.
    Because I think most folks I know will agree that some Star Wars is 100% better than no Star Wars.

  8. I did a poll with the original #StarWars trilogy, thought it’d be fun to do one with the #PrequelTrilogy
    #ThePhantomMenace #PhantomMenace #AttackOfTheClones #RevengeOfTheSith

    For the curious: in the original poll Return of the Jedi took last place. About twice as many people voted for A New Hope. And Empire Strikes Back had about three times as many votes as ANH.

    Which prequel trilogy movie is your favorite?

  9. Honestly, really honestly, if you watch Phantom Menace with Sidious' plan in mind, ignore the (casual? blatant?) antisemitism, and ignore 50–100% of Jar Jar's antics*, it's a really good movie.

    *(Jar Jar's plot scenes are important though, and if you ignore those then shame on you)

  10. With the battle between the droids and Gungans, why did the Gungans all sit and wait for the droids to be activated, and atacking them before attacking the droids? They were pretty much sitting ducks in their transports...
