"I watch the Skywalker Saga every year....all six movies worth." Well played, sir.

Can't beleive I would ever miss the time there was limited Star Wars content.

"I still say they're flawed, but it doesn't matter."

My brother won 2 tickets, I was on my way to a birthday party, had to stop at a gas station to scream and jump, my brother is 50 and I am about to be 46 tomorrow May 8th. We saw the Phantom Menace when it premiered. So, you can imagine we were pumped! A local beer company was sponsoring the event and we had beers like it was the end of the world. I fall asleep twice and my brother was laughing so hard. I didn't miss the duel, love the chanting and the double light saber glowing all around. We even had a rock concert at the end! On our way home, we talked to much about star wars and how much we love it. We talked about our dad (I miss him so much) when he took us to see Empire Strikes Back at the multiplex on a Sunday Matinee. My dad saw the force awakens and was sad Solo had to die. It was the last star wars movie he saw. That what gets me about star wars, it connected with so many families and individuals all around the globe. Amazing! May the force be with you, Always!

Took me 3 days to download this trailer back in '99. Totally worth it

Phantom Menace was pretty hardcore. Finally got to see what a lightsaber can actually do.

I was someone that always loved Phantom Menace. Still do. I remember seeing it in theaters in 1999 and was blown away! It actually legitimately shocked me how much hate the movie and the rest of the prequels got because I had enjoyed them so much.

My buddy and I were sitting in my car waiting to hear the release of Dual of the Fates on the radio. Such a good memory.

It’s nice seeing the life and joy back in Jeremy’s eyes again while talking about Star Wars. All 6 of them

Ray Park as Darth Maul absolutely owned every second of screen time he got. The character's visual design was striking but Park's physicality completely brought the character to life and it's one of the best examples of less is more I've seen in a film.

One of the most thoughtful takes I've seen on the Phantom Menace, especially the whole thing about resetting one's view of the prequel trilogy to be Palpatine's story.

I have always loved the prequels. The Phantom Menace is my favorite Star Wars film. It’s the one I watch the most and continues to be the most rewatchable one. I have no shame admitting it. I like what I like.

1999 had the greatest and/or most monumental films. In addition to episode 1, the matrix, green mile, 6th sense, eyes wide shut, office space, American pie, fight club, iron giant and many more. That was a great year.

It's cathartic seeing Jeremy having more appreciation for the scenes of Palpatine pulling the strings politically. The scene where he manipulates Amidala to call for a vote of no confidence is so underrated.

Got a call the night before premiere, from a friend of mine. He got a reserved spot in line. This was mid-shift at a bar restaurant. I was the only cook. I dipped out the back, never to return. Watched TPM twice back to back that morning.

Jeremy it truly warms my heart to see how much you’ve changed your stance

The thing I always remember is seeing just how powerful a Jedi was, seeing Qui-Gon melt through the blast door for the first time was so epic. You knew that they were a force to be reckoned with!

One thing I love hearing about these movies is when people like yourself will recognize that they're not "misunderstood masterpieces", but that they

This is the most “oh shit people like the prequels now? Guess I gotta change up my feelings for it.” I’ve ever seen lmao

My opinion changed when the book "Plagueis" came out by James Luceno. I'm a SW nerd so I read a lot of the books. It really helped this film in particular make a LOT more sense. Where Palpatine comes from, who trained him, how Maul was discovered, etc.
