From the opening crawl until Naboo landing. Join us for the first installment of our The Phantom Menace retrospective.

In this video, we’re returning to firm ground. And then going a few hundred metres deeper. We join Qui-Gon, Obi-wan and Jar-Jar Binks as they descend toward their next destination.

Having recaptured the Queen's starship, our heroes escape the royal hangar. Their plan is to leave the planet and find help elsewhere in the galaxy. They will make no progress toward this goal whatsoever. Today is about all the obstacles along the way. Part 3 of our Star Wars - Episode 1: The Phantom Menace retrospective.

The Queen's royal starship has been repaired and is ready to depart. Anakin says farewell to his mother. It's smooth sailing from here on out, right? .. Right?

The Queen appeals to the better nature of galactic politicians. Let's see how that works out for her.

The history of the galaxy is the eternal struggle between Light and Dark. Vast armies, or the Rule of Two: the result is often the same. It's kinda like poetry, y'know— it rhymes.

Little Anakin Skywalker is about to make his dream come true. In this video, we examine some cool vehicles, scary bugs, and [censored] Anakin’s parentage.

It's time to leave Coruscant in search of adventure. In this video, we'll appreciate the Gungans and see the Grand Army in action.

The Gungan army lost the battle of the Great Grass Plains, just as they expected to. What turns the tide is air support from their new allies. We shall investigate the space battle above Naboo. Is spinning really a good trick?

Not quite a hovercraft, not quite a jet engine. But all awesome. Let's take a look at The Phantom Menace's often maligned motorsport.

We've avoided the Sith apprentice twice already. In this video, it's time to examine the most influential lightsabre duel of recent decades.

Let's examine Factor 5's forgotten gem, Episode I: Battle for Naboo. Join us as we relive the story of Naboo's unsung heroes as they struggle against the Trade Federation's control of their planet.
