In Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) is a young apprentice Jedi knight under the tutelage of Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson). Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd), who will later father Luke and Leia Skywalker and become known throughout the galaxy as The Emperor's loyal right hand Darth Vader, is just a 9-year-old boy with extraordinary potential. When the Trade Federation cuts off all routes to the planet Naboo, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are assigned to protect Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman) in hopes of securing a peaceful end to a large-scale interplanetary trade dispute.

For two decades, The Phantom Menace has, much like the Empire, lay in hiding while waiting for the right time to strike. Midi-chlorians, Trade Federations, and Jar Jar Binks have kept this series from its own potential for far too long. Since Disney seems to be in no hurry to correct this wrong, it is left up to our Cinematic Architects to roll up our sleeves and return to work as we celebrate our 1 year anniversary of podcast retirement in style: We're going to Remake Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace RIGHT!

Clips selected from 1999's Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
