STAR WARS The Phantom Menace (1999) Breakdown | Easter Eggs, Hidden Details, Analysis, Making Of & Trivia. We review, recap and explain all the hidden details, bits of trivia and things you missed in George Lucas' classic Star Wars Episode 1 The phantom menace. With Revenge Of The Sith getting a re-release I thought we'd revisit this to uncover all the details. #StarWars #ThePhantomMenace #Easter Eggs #HiddenDetails #endingexplained #GeorgeLucas #SciFi #thingsyoumissed #ClassicMovieBreakdown #EmpireStrikesBack #ANewHope #RevengeOfTheSith #ReturnOfTheJedi #ROTS If you enjoyed this video then please subscribe to the channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq3hT5JPPKy87JGbDls_5BQ?sub_confirmation=1 Join our membership program and get early access to our videos here - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq3hT5JPPKy87JGbDls_5BQ/join Get 10% Off Arrow Films by using our discount link here - https://prf.hn/l/Qx891yN Treat yourself to a suit from the James Bond collection by Anthony Sinclair and take yourself to 00-heaven through the link here - https://masonandsons.myshopify.com?sca_ref=7840248.JzzAAUYdPC6s.

It’s me MT and welcome back to the Heavy Spoilers show! And guess what y’all? It is time for us to break down and analyze George Lucas’ Star Wars prequels…starting with 1999’s “Episode I: The Phantom Menace”...the very first chapter in Anakin Skywalker’s tragic story. This is gonna be a bit of a long one so grab a snack and let’s jump into this thing. Also, even though these movies are decades old at this point, I’m still gonna mention that there will be spoilers ahead for the entirety of the Star Wars continuity so…if you haven’t enjoyed the prequels and beyond, you might wanna do that first.

Paul said he'd never breakdown episodes 1-3, but he never said MT would not breakdown. Thanks, MT!!!

“Duel of the Fates” song literally stops me in my tracks and I get emotional every time. This song was on heavy repeat in my room. As a proud band geek, trumpet player, I would close my eyes and wish I was in this orchestra haha. Thanks for the breakdown, MT!

1:20:14 Years later on their final duel on Tatooine, Obi-Wan would deliberately use Qui-Gon Jinn's stance to trick Maul to use the same moves he did to kill Qui-Gon only to be slain by Obi-Wan himself in just three moves

Yoda was first mentioned on the Trade Federation ship at the beginning. Obi-wan said "Master Yoda said I should be mindful of the future."

Many people hate the prequels, but as a 90's kid, I love them. Others say people like the prequels now, but it's not that people like them now, it's that those of us who were kids in the 90's are now adults and can speak for ourselves and tell the haters NO, you're wrong.

Halloween 1999, my little brother spiked his hair and went as Darth Maul. I put on a wig and went as Qui-Gon.

I think midi-chlorian is more of a reference to Mitochondria. Powerhouse of cellular function

I was under the impression the scene with Qui-Gon, kneeling before facing Maul was him saving his presence within the Force. Obi-Wan does the same thing during his battle with Vader on the Death Star when he raises his sword and stands there allowing Vader to strike his body.

One of my favorite easter eggs is that in the funeral scene, Padme and Obi-Wan are what separate Palpatine from Anakin. They are literally and figuratively distancing Anakin from the dark side.

24:50 Natalie's mother had that same difficulty, even going so far as to mistake Kiera for Natalie
