Star Wars The Phantom Menace: Not That Good But Not That Bad Either
1,144Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace was arguably the most anticipated film of all time when it came out in the summer of 1999. After all, there hadn't been a Star Wars movie since Return of the Jedi sixteen years before. Whole generations of Star Wars fans grew up without having ever experienced the rush of seeing a new Star Wars film theatrically, and the early trailers promised an epic. Then it came out and was met with a collective shrug by many Star Wars fans. Sure, everyone loved Darth Maul and Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber battle, but many felt it fell way short of the original trilogy. Indeed, the prequel trilogy would be met with a mixed reaction from many fans, but years later, after the controversial Disney sequel trilogy, people have begun to revisit these movies from a new perspective.One thing people have started to reckon with was how toxic some fans were towards two of the movie's stars, Jake Lloyd, who played Anakin, and Ahmed Best, who played the infamous Jar-Jar Binks. They two received much fan ire, and we probably all owe them an apology. So is Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace a lot better than you remember? We'll dig into it in this episode of Revisited!
