George Lucas’ Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace returned to theaters for its 25th anniversary and was an impressive success at the box office.
Well, the celebration of the film continues as Lucasfilm has released a remastered version of the original trailer for you to watch.
I remember watching this trailer for the first time and being so overwhelmingly excited about the movie! It was an exciting time for Star Wars fans! We were getting a new one Star Wars movie, and the excitement was blowing people’s minds.
Although the film fell short of many fans’ expectations, after all these years I have grown to appreciate it more and liked it when I watched it again in theaters.
The Phantom Menace was originally released in 1999 and has grossed over $1 billion worldwide over the years thanks to all previous re-releases, including a 3D conversion.
The Phantom Menace sets the stage for the saga with a story of political intrigue and the rise of Darth Vader. The Galactic Republic is in turmoil as Trade Federation forces blockade the peaceful planet Naboo.
Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi are sent to negotiate, only to find themselves embroiled in a sinister plot orchestrated by the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious.
Along the way they meet young Anakin Skywalker, a slave with a strong connection to the Force. As they face treacherous alliances and confront the formidable Sith apprentice Darth Maul, the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance, setting the stage for the epic conflict yet to come.
Now relive the original teaser trailer that blew our minds all those years ago, original Yoda plush figure and all!
