Synopsis
Stranded on the desert planet Tatooine after rescuing young Queen Amidala from the impending invasion of Naboo, Jedi apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jin discover nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker, a young slave unusually strong in the Force. Anakin wins a thrilling Podrace and with it his freedom as he leaves his home to be trained as a Jedi. The heroes return to Naboo where Anakin and the Queen face massive invasion forces while the two Jedi contend with a deadly foe named Darth Maul. Only then do they realize the invasion is merely the first step in a sinister scheme by the re-emergent forces of darkness known as the Sith.
Review
As a prequel trilogy that took decades in the making, the first instalment in the highly anticipated series is such a huge let-down. Although the introductory story to Anakin Skywalker's oppressed childhood is saved by stellar performance courtesy of Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor, there were still a few not so proud moments such as cringe-worthy dialogues and of course, Jar Jar Binks.
