THE 90’s Podcast - S04-E09 - Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace (1999)

This week John is joined by Luke Elden as we look at Star Wars Episode 1 specifically, and look at the saga in general terms. We discuss the Anakin character, as well as his background, which makes it hard to feel sorry for him. We also look at the role of George Lucas, and how he can write a great story, but a lousy script. We also discuss the problems of Jar-Jar, and how his buffoonery took away from what was a proud warrior race. We discuss the continuity errors that Lucas wrote and ask if he had too many yes men.

 

Also John is joined by Sarah, as we discuss the Movember drive, upcoming episodes, and other bits and nonsense along the way.
