The Phantom Menace: The Good, The Bad, and The Midi-chlorians

Star Wars: Safespace

This week we're dissecting the many layers of "The Phantom Menace." From the film's controversial and polarizing aspects - yes, we're looking at you, Jar Jar Binks, to the timeless power of John Williams' "Duel of the Fates", we're going on a ride that should teach Padawans a few things and offer Jedi Masters some fresh insights.
We swap stories of merchandise mania that defined the fan experience during the film's release, unpack Anakin's heart-wrenching departure from his mother and debate the Jedi Order's morally ambiguous practices.
Join us as we view the Star Wars saga through a more positive lens and pay homage to its origins, celebrate its present, and eagerly anticipate its unwritten future.
