excUSE YOU. PODRACING WAS THE BEST PART OF PHANTOM MENACE

It was way too long.

The speeders looked cool, I’ll give them that. But I could’ve watched a better car chase/race in a cartoon movie 🤷🏻

The crazy thing about Phantom Menace is the Trade Federation was import/export business. And they just invaded a whole planet?

Like imagine if Amazon commissioned a bunch of Boston Dynamics robots to wage war on a country.

Imagine you’re some pod racing enthusiast watching the Boonta Eve Classic and some literal child enters with the shittiest scrap pod you’ve ever seen. He built it himself. He then proceeds to absolutely demolish every other professional racer. The kid never enters a race again but his legacy lives on in the hearts of the pod racing community.

About 10 years later, you tune into a news stream to catch some news about the Clone War. The announcer is talking about a particularly pivotal battle, saying something about “Jedi General Anakin Skywalker”

YOU MEAN THAT KID FROM THE BOONTA EVE CLASSIC???

The Phantom Menace.

That poor malnurished doomed kid.

when Qui-Gon publicly dropped Obi-Wan like a hot potato in favor of throwing his full weight into his bid to train Anakin, recently-Knighted Quinlan Vos decided that he had the opportunity to be the funniest motherfucker imaginable (and earn both his friend's eternal debt and ire in one move):

he claimed Obi-Wan Kenobi as his first Padawan

Obi-Wan, while definitely pissed with his friend's 'parenting,' quickly gets behind the idea of using this to spite Qui-Gon as much as possible

the Vos-Kenobi pair immediately set out to break every single one of Jinn's records as pettily as possible, and even managed to earn Quinlan the title of 'youngest Master' when Obi-Wan was Knighted only a few months later when the Council realized what was going on and tried to cut them off by just Knighting Kenobi already

Obi-Wan and Anakin for @ladysarai! And then nothing bad ever happened...

[Image Description: Digital artwork of a young Obi-Wan Kenobi and child Anakin. Anakin is in padawan robes, while Obi-Wan's hair has started to grow out and he has his beard. Obi-Wan is kneeling with his arms around Anakin, who has just run forward to fling his arms around Obi-Wan's neck in a hug. /end ID]

At the end of Phantom Menace, during the funeral of Qui-Gon Jinn, we get possibly my favourite single shot of the entire Star Wars franchise. Yoda and Windu have just discussed which of the two Sith were destroyed, "the master or the apprentice?" And then, we slowly cut across Anakin, Obi-Wan and Padme before settling on Palpatine. Even if you don't approve of them giving away the twist of his character to those who didn't already know, it's undeniably a chilling moment.

And it's even better when, as was pointed out to me on a few occasions, you realise there's further foreshadowing with the placement of the characters. Anakin on one side, Palpatine on the other, with Obi-Wan and Padme between them. Those two are the ones who both metaphorically and literally stand between the future Emperor and his eventual apprentice. No idea if that really was intentional by George, but if it was, then my hat is off to the man, because that is some fine symbolism there :)
