Actually, he wasn't. That is just what the bad writers at Disney want everyone to believe. They couldn't come up with a decent storyline so episodes 7-9 are basic mirrors of episodes 4-6, but the characters are older.
If there's one thing everyone can agree on that the prequels did perfect it's definitely the score, each ending track for Episode 1, 2 and 3 gave me chills, Mr Williams is certainly the messiah of the Star Wars franchise.
After all the criticism and bashing the Phantom Menace has received over the years, I feel everyone now can agree that although not on par with the original trilogy, the film as well as episode 2 and 3 still feels like 'Star Wars' and this ending certainly encapsulates that feeling way more than any of the Sequel trilogy endings.
Compare the vocal part at the start of this one with the bit from episode 6 when Palpatine used force lightning on Luke. The rhythm and the keys are changed, but they are from the same root.
This film had many problems, but added a lot to the Star Wars mythos. Darth Maul, the performances by Liam Neeson and Ian McDiarmid, the lightsaber duel, the portrayal of Coruscant, and of course the music were all superb. The new films have also had their fair share of errors, but they have failed to add a single element of creativity or enjoyment to the saga.
Ewan McGregor was incredible as young Obi-Wan Kenobi, not just in this film but in all three of the prequels. I actually think his performance is better than Alec Guinness who was already great in the role. Of course he had more to do in this trilogy than Guinness did, but he had some big shoes to fill and filled them well, making the character his own.
@@finnmarr-heenan2397 thats not milking nostalgia. milking would just make the originals duller. it actively damages them. it ruins everything, while copying. if you want a successful attempt at milking nostalgia, try DmC 5. the Prequels were unique and an incredible cultural value in themselves, not recreating lightning in a bottle. its a different lightning but it struck even harder.
A bit late, but it’s purified Naboo plasma, which is what the Theed Palace generator complex refined. It’s one of the major exports of Naboo, since it didn’t have a molten core, just plasma and water.
"And so, Anakin Skywalker's descent to the Dark Side begins with the sinister Palpatine pulling the strings. But for now, a celebration takes place on the Naboo, with Queen Amidala, Padme, Jar Jar Binks and Obi-Wan Kenobi joining Palpatine and Boss Nass in the festivities, but the war is far from over, as the journey continues……"
They are part of the track, just like the whistles and all that stuff. They are samples deliberately placed in the song audio apparently... not sure if I'm happy with the whole arrangement of the track, but it serves its purpose...
You might be here because you discerned Palpatine’s theme, or, if you’re particularly savvy, Serra Palada from Powaqqatsi by Philip Glass. I’m here because I thought it sounded kind of like “hang up every needle” from How The Grinch Stole Christmas at one point.
Besides Jar Jar Binks and Pod Racing, I like this movie. There's a badass antagonist, Qui-Gon Jin was really cool, the kids were tolerable and the music was GODLIKE.
I love episode 3... my favorite of the 6. And I'm a old school fan.. I grew up on the original films (I'm 39) and saw them all in the theaters when first released way back when, had the toys watched the Ewok movies on TV lol.. etc etc.. But i don't know man, I think ep 3 is great and the prequels are all good. Ep 1 is the weakest of the 6, but still fun. I just don't see the hate, I think they are great and even stronger in some aspects.
1:25 - (confused stares in the theater) Huh? That just didn't feel right for some reason... Gonna see it at least three more times to confirm my feelings.
The Gunean celebrated they victory over Trade Fraludition on Naboo and the Jedi council's and Senators , along with Jar Jar Blinks and Captain Tanaka and Guinean leader received the purple Orb and rise it up in the air in The Phantom Mence.
i love this film. honestly. its become more of my favourite now ive found out this victory theme is just darth sidious theme but happier, implying it may have looked like a victory for naboo, but in reality its palpatines victory to come one step closer to wiping out the jedi and forming the empire. sadly the sequels just kinda ruin all that.
In retrospective that trilogy was MILES better than the new one and had some really memorable characters and scenes...damnit disney you ruined my childhood favorite film
Well, the tune is Palpatine's theme sped down and more upbeat, so that might've something to do with it. Also, those weird horns or whatever sound pretty "alien" to me, at least.
The whole ending scene is kind of dark and creepy if you think about it. It's presented as this great victory, but in reality the emperor's plans have been set in motion and the galaxy is about to get screwed over.
OMFG MY FAVOURITE STAR WARS 1 SONG!!!! :D This is the best song in star wars apart from the part in the pod race where Anakin's pod racer gets f***ed up
@alexvillabona I had the same view of the prequels, I enjoyed them, though quite a few people at the costume club I'm in dislike the new ones, which I can understand at some points. But in the end I watched the movies to enjoy them not compare them to the originals.
If you slow down this theme, you'll realize a clever detail! The celebration theme for the end of episode 1 is actually a slowed down version of the emperor's theme! Really dark and subtle way to show that in the end, Palpatine still won.
That’s actually really creepy. Palpatine has been pulling the strings the whole time.
TheLovelyLadybug the all powerful villain has left his mark and he indeed has been the mastermind behind ALL of Star Wars
Actually Jar Jar was the one who is responsible for the Original and Sequel trilogies
Actually, he wasn't. That is just what the bad writers at Disney want everyone to believe. They couldn't come up with a decent storyline so episodes 7-9 are basic mirrors of episodes 4-6, but the characters are older.
@@rungej14 episodes 7-9 are garbage
You might say he was a Phantom Menace.
I don't care what anyone thinks. I love Star Wars Episode one.
Same.
You’re not alone, buddy.
I think after people saw the 7-9 movies they would agree with you that episode 1 wasn’t bad.
Love it!
i think it's better than episode 2

When you realize this is the emperor's theme from ROTJ at a faster pace with different instruments
No it's at a slower pace.
0:05 slow down to 0.5x speed to hear "The Emperor's throne room" theme
Whenever I see Boss Nass lift up that crystal declaring peace for Naboo, I always burst out laughing because it sounds like he's saying "PISS!"

The fact that the municipal band is really the Emperor's victory theme is really dark. Like...imagine that playing if Germany won ww2. *shudders*

You can hear the imperial march at 9:03
Totally makes sense too since Palpatine is technically from Naboo

man these tunes brought me some of the best moments of my childhood :)

I also like that it's playing the Emperor's theme in major key
I guess everybody noticed The Imperial March at the end? :)
not is it before of the imperial march begin
Best ending theme ever on episode 1

So true.
Nah, its still dogshit
Thanks John, and all of the big team that make this great music!
The music at the begining and the emperor's theme are the same song! But the first one is fastest
+Alex T ....my mind will not recover from this o.o how have I never heard that??
I don't hear it.

Not the same song, but the same melodic material.

The prequels are a failed attempt at recreating lightning in a bottle,
Disney Star Wars is a successful attempt to milk nostalgia nothing more
Ewan McGregor was incredible as young Obi-Wan Kenobi, not just in this film but in all three of the prequels. I actually think his performance is better than Alec Guinness who was already great in the role. Of course he had more to do in this trilogy than Guinness did, but he had some big shoes to fill and filled them well, making the character his own.

This is the only Prequel with a happy ending. In AOTC, the war had begun and ROTS is the declaration of the Empire.
Happy 25th Anniversary to The Phantom Menace! My favorite of the Prequels and number 5 in my top 12 for the films!

I love how in every credits section of Star Wars there's pieces of the original soundtrack mixed in, such as here, the Duel of the Fates.
Epic start at 2:16
"And so, Anakin Skywalker's descent to the Dark Side begins with the sinister Palpatine pulling the strings.

Interesting they kept the children laughing in the OST
They are part of the track, just like the whistles and all that stuff. They are samples deliberately placed in the song audio apparently... not sure if I'm happy with the whole arrangement of the track, but it serves its purpose...
I was hoping for a clean version withut the kids
Trek001
? 오
Probably helps hide the fact that this is actually the Emperor's theme.
Why is nobody mentioning the song at 6:30? Its a hidden gem
Anakin's Theme. One of the best things ever written by Williams. Gorgeous string writing and clever "Vader" theme motif hidden here and there.
Put the emperor's theme on 1.5 speed.
Ironic...
That song is perfect for the Super Bowl!🏈
1:07 to 1:25 was the best
this is going to be my wedding entrance song yeah
God the fact that it's Palpatine's theme combined with laughing and joyous kids is so disturbing.
I love how alien this music sounds
Hey!!! At last I found it. I was searching this theme for the last two years... It's used on a TV Soccer tournement in Spain, played for Childrens...
i know this is 10 years ago, but they used it on a football tournament?? wow the only time i would willingly watch sport. just to hear star wars
still on my head all the time
You might be here because you discerned Palpatine’s theme, or, if you’re particularly savvy, Serra Palada from Powaqqatsi by Philip Glass. I’m here because I thought it sounded kind of like “hang up every needle” from How The Grinch Stole Christmas at one point.
I really like this soundtrack for a happy ending.
Love the first part of this piece! At first I hated Star Wars but I've now grown to really like it. Not as much as Star Trek though!
I listen to this music every New Year's day and my birthday ... It's a tradition.
What a great,and underrated,feature!
i love every part of this movie just bc of the nostalgia factor
Epic foreshadowing
They should've left in the sound of Darth Vader's breathing during the last few seconds. Gave me goosebumps.
you know what I don't give an F what this song is a sped up version of...this song is not only the anthem of the year 3000 but the theme of my divorce
Besides Jar Jar Binks and Pod Racing, I like this movie.
There's a badass antagonist, Qui-Gon Jin was really cool, the kids were tolerable and the music was GODLIKE.
THIS VICTORY SONG SHALL ALSO BE WAKANDA FOREVER!
