While it may have seem like a lifetime since the boys visited a galaxy far far away, it wasn’t nearly as long as the 16 years writer/director George Lucas took. And no, two Ewok movies don’t count.
While people assumed that 1983’s Return of the Jedi was the end of Star Wars, Lucas would eventually prove them wrong. And after a couple of hits to his empire -notably a high profile divorce and being the spearhead/producer of a little movie called Howard the Duck- it was inevitable that he would. With years of interviews teasing that it would happen behind us, the Star Wars cinematic universe was once again opened when the first theatrical trailer to 1999’s Star Wars Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace was released and took anticipation to a whole new level.
Join Garrett and Matt as they welcome back original Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast alum Adam Bunch in order to dissect everything that has to do with what is arguably the most anticipated movie of all time. Hear all their individual bouts of anticipation, as well as what they have felt in the years following Phantom Menace’s release. And then they dissect the film scene by scene, all while they determine whether the movie deserves all the derision thrown its way.
Be sure to keep listening to Percolated Media as December will consist of reviews of the three Star Wars prequels, as well as the boys’ annual year end special, and of course some surprises.
