A Very Brief Analysis: The Phantom Menace

Star Wars has a great deal of lore to analyse. Over time, the history of its universe has been modified. The most significant change was during the time of the Prequel Trilogy. A great many things were added, and some were altered. This can be hard to research, especially from official websites and wikis. We will infer what we can from the movie, combined with background information. This is not a defence of Episode 1, nor is it an attack. The idea is a detailed, fair, and informed analysis. We’ll go over the entire movie, giving credit and blame as needed. ~ Special Thanks (in order of first appearance) ~ @RemnantCult: foreword script, narration, editing; lightsabre style footage capped from Jedi Academy; misc. 10003120290: Resident podracing expert, Neva Kee spotter, video references @lba_e_ross2152: Darth Maul audiobook intro, video references, misc. physical reference material scouting @ArmoredStruggleWagon: Droch March song, a whole bunch of top-quality Terminator memes, mis
