Starwars Universe
Today we will discuss?Starwars:?The Phantom Menace. SWTPM is the first movie?in the prequel trilogy to the original trilogy. This movie was released?on May 19,?1999 and was the fourth Starwars movie to be made. This movie (in my opinion) is the base?to the rise of the Sith in the Starwars movies. We knew the Sith were out there, but the Jedi didn’t. After this movie, the Sith become a known threat throughout the galaxy. Before this movie, the Sith were thought to be extinct. That just goes to show how often the Jedi are right. In the next?paragraphs I will go over the main plot of the movie.
In this movie, the Galactic Republic is in a state of decline. Trade routes are being attacked, the economy is devastated and the Trade Federation have built a blockade around the peaceful world of Naboo. Hoping to resolve the matter of this blockade, the Supreme Chancellor sends the two Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to neogotiate with the Trade?Federation.?Obi-Wan is Qui-Gon’s Padawan, but later becomes a Jedi Knight in the?following movies. By sending the two Jedi, the Chancellor hopes to neogotiate the freedom of Naboo with Nute Gunray. Nute Gunray is the Viceroy of the Trade Federation and is one of Darth Sidious’s pawns in his plan of destroying the Jedi and the Galactic Republic. Darth Sidious then orders Nute Gunray to launch an army of battle droids onto Naboo and to kill the Jedi. The Jedi escape to Naboo where Qui-Gon rescues the Gungan Jar Jar Binks. Qui-Gon then persuades Jar Jar to take them to his peoples’ kingdom where Qui-Gon is able to convince the Gungan king to grant them a ship. Qui-Gon then goes to the surface of Naboo to rescue Queen Amidala. Succeeding in rescuing the queen, Qui-Gon has to take the ship to Tatooine for repairs.
After several things in between (you’ll have to watch the movie to find out what happened), Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan go to Naboo to stop the Trade Federation?invasion. While there, they meet and fight the Sith apprentice Darth Maul. Meanwhile, Queen Amidala is able to convince the Gungans to help fight the battle droids to save Naboo. To find out what happens next, you’ll have to watch the movie.
Well, there you have it. That’s the plot for the?movie with a few details. But you’ll have to watch the movie to find out the rest, and you won’t be disappointed. I know I wasn’t disappointed with that Starwars movie, or with any of the others. Heck, I haven’t been disappointed with any Starwars products I’ve bought! I really enjoyed this movie, and I hope you do to.
There’s always been a conflict between the Jedi and the Sith, everywhere. People always have different opinions about which one is better. I’m voting for the Sith, just because I think they have way better force powers. But what do you think? Contact us to tell us which you think is better. Jedi or Sith? You choose.
