In our series "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time. Our conversation focuses on the experience of someone watching the movie for the first time today and their reaction.
This week we talk about Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. We talk about the new chapter in the Star Wars saga that introduced us to the pre-Imperial era for the first time on the big screen, its major characters, the worldbuilding surrounding the major conflict involving the Trade Federation, and expectations for the trilogy going forward.
