  • Take a step into the pitch meeting that started the original Star Wars prequel film! Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Screenrant
    Star Wars has come a long way since the original trilogy, and most people really like the new films following Rey, as well as the standalone prequel films that Lucasfilm has been putting out. But in order to get here, we had to go through a painful prequel trilogy in the late 90s and early 2000s. George Lucas took us on a CGI-filled ride and not everyone liked it. How did the prequel trilogy go so wrong? Why is it so focused on politics? Why does Jar Jar Binks exist? Step inside the pitch meeting that started it all! We promise, it's #SuperEasyBarelyAnInconvenience

    here is a theory i have, you know anakin saved all the gungans and naboo when he destroyed the droid ship, and the queen of naboo had his blessing. So why didnt the queen of naboo give anakin enough money so he can set his mother free?

      Woah . . . thank YOU Ryan. You have a natural wit about you and a seemingly effortless charm that comes off whether you're repeating the lines you think you have to or not. Anytime I recognize your voice in the back of a Screen Rant video, I instantly start paying more attention. Don't think they could value you enough as a powerhouse to the brand! Keep up the inspiring work!

    0:39 writer pronounces Routes as "roots" while producer pronounces it as "raaoots".
    Hence proved they are different people.
