Jeff and I are watching every Star Wars movie, in the chronological order of the story, and that means we’re starting with Phantom Menace! We talk about what we liked, what we didn’t, and how this movie fits into the overall story. In particular we talked about the stories we hoped the movie would tell-- the start of the fall of the republic and the fall of Anakin, and why a movie aimed at kids was the wrong choice for that particular story.
