Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace is Actually Good! - Talking About Tapes (#141)

Tony and Johanna take a look back at The Phantom Menace and try to view it through a positive lens. In this movie review/podcast they will talk about all the things that make it good like Darth Mauls amazing lightsaber skills, the new world and creatures made by George Lucas, and how its not a cynical cash grab like Disney's new movies. 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 Skywalker and become known as Darth Vader, is just a 9-year-old boy. When the Trade Federation cuts off all routes to the planet Naboo, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are assigned to settle the matter.Edited by Jessica Hickson
