The Phantom Menace / int_101500e	type	Beneath Notice
The Phantom Menace / int_101500e	comment	Beneath Notice: Queen Amidala constantly dressed in regal royal attire behind face-concealing makeup. She is always assisted with and surrounded by handmaidens with face obscuring cloaks. One of her key handmaidens in the film is PadmÃ©, who assists Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn while on Tatooine. In truth, PadmÃ© is actually Queen Amidala dressed down and in disguise. No one, except possibly Qui-Gon, even noticed the Queen ever switch places with her handmaidens. Not only do all the handmaidens look alike, but no one pays attention to them because they are always in the background assisting others.

The Phantom Menace / int_10d36992	comment	This is the explanation for the Jedi Knights' superior combat skills and ability to block lasers with their lightsabers — they've got the ability to predict the future in a limited way, so they bring their lightsabers into position to parry a shot before it's actually fired. This is brought up when Qui-Gon Jinn pegs Anakin as a potential Jedi due to his ability to participate in podracing — a sport that human reflexes simply aren't fast enough to keep up with. Jedi can also look further into the future, but this generally requires a lot more effort and is less reliable.

Attack of the Clones reveals they're actually based on Geonosian skulls, who actually manufacture the Battle Droids.

This, of course, is intentional, and part of the "decoy trick", where one of them, SabÃ©, posed as the Queen while the Queen dressed as one of the handmaidens in her identity as PadmÃ©. (They have similar names too, at least in public; in addition to SabÃ©, the others were named EirtaÃ©, RabÃ©, SachÃ©, YanÃ©, FÃ©, and DanÃ©); PadmÃ©'s name mentioned often make members of the royal court assume that the Queen has eight handmaidens.

The Phantom Menace / int_1a5bba2b	comment	Artistic License â€“ Geology: Yeah, it's Star Wars, so this is to be expected, but given what we directly see of Naboo's geology, there's no way that the surface could be as verdant, full of life, and most importantly Earth-like as it is. Basically, Naboo is a porous planet with canals filled with water running through the planet's core from one side to the other. The problem is, without a hot, liquid metal core like Earth has, the planet would most likely have no magnetic field, meaning that everything on the surface should be fried by radiation. Furthermore, no hot core means no volcanic activity, which raises the question of how the atmosphere developed.

They have portable shield generators that can provide an army with protection from artillery fire, as well as personal tower shields to allow front line troops to withstand blaster fire at close range. This would have been hugely useful in numerous battles during the Clone Wars, as well as to the Rebels on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. But these technologies are never seen again.

Then Panaka logically tries to point out the Trade Federation can't freaking kill the leader of the planet they're invading and stay on good terms with Coruscant; the men only acquiesce when Qui-Gon counters the Trade Federation may elect a pawn in Amidala's place to sign a treaty. Panaka agrees to go off-planet with the queen to protect her, and is ready to draw fire on anyone who dares attack, as Sio Babble tries to reason with the Trade Federation to withdraw.

For one thing, it's stated in the movie that it's ruled by the Hutts (whom according to Panaka are gangsters) and it's clear from the movie that slavery is considered acceptable there, including the use of children as slaves. There's also the podracing, which people also bet various things (including the fate of slaves) on. Even putting aside the nature of its society, there's also the weather; dangerous sandstorms can come up on short notice, which the Tatooine residents apparently predict through aching bones, and that doesn't give them much time to find shelter. Tatooine is a Crapsack World in other installments too, but it's taken further here than it is in the other ones. Scavenging Jawas and murderous, marauding Tusken Raiders can't be helping real estate values, either.

But they use dinosaur-like kaadus and fambaas as mounts and beasts of burden and their only means of "firing" their plasma spheres is through the use of slings or by hand!

Oddly, by the time we reach Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker seems more like Qui-Gon (who he's never met) than Kenobi or Yoda (who trained him). Later explained in that Obi-Wan and Yoda received training from Qui-Gon's Force ghost and presumably passed his teachings on to Luke. (More precisely, Obi-Wan and Yoda realized that they were too caught up with Jedi dogma until Qui-Gon brought them back to the spirit of the Force.)

The Phantom Menace / int_3df9c288	comment	Keystone Army: Every unit in the droid army malfunctions as soon as the control ship explodes. Explained by later media as the Nemoidians not trusting the droids and wanting a way to disable them if something goes wrong. Later media also show the Separatists learned from this mistake and made the droids more independent. The Gungan army turns and runs as soon as their shield generator is knocked out. Justified, because while the shield was up the only thing that could get through was the Trade Federation's infantry. After the shield is down their heavy firepower could move in.

Justified as it's actually a giant merchant ship that was originally unarmed (the powerful shields and the sheer size being its best defense against attacks from under-equipped pirates) and has been hastily refitted with some weapons before the invasion of Naboo (as a planetary government would have access to better weapons than pirates). They weren't even expecting any resistance, given that Naboo technically has no military at all.

The plot of the film is set off when Senator Sheev "Darth Sidious" Palpatine covertly pushes the Trade Federation to escalate this to using its droid army to extort policy changes from the Republic Senate itself, in order to create a political crisis he can exploit to get himself elected Supreme Chancellor.

Watto won them from her by betting on another pod race, and he was known to cheat too; the dice cube he used in that previous example was loaded, according to some sources.

The Phantom Menace / int_56585e87	comment	Combat Clairvoyance: This is the explanation for the Jedi Knights' superior combat skills and ability to block lasers with their lightsabers — they've got the ability to predict the future in a limited way, so they bring their lightsabers into position to parry a shot before it's actually fired. This is brought up when Qui-Gon Jinn pegs Anakin as a potential Jedi due to his ability to participate in podracing — a sport that human reflexes simply aren't fast enough to keep up with. Jedi can also look further into the future, but this generally requires a lot more effort and is less reliable. We also see Obi-Wan's horrified reaction to a glimpse into the near-future, a few seconds before Qui-Gon is killed by Darth Maul. He wasn't actively fighting, but he could see where the fight was going. Sadly, he was physically separated from the fighting by a force field and unable to intervene until it as too late.

Unlike most examples, it doesn't particularly slow him down or cost him a lead; until he tries to pull it on Anakin, which, thanks to their pods becoming intertwined when Sebulba tries to ram him, gives Anakin a chance to boost ahead, thus tearing apart Sebulba's engine cables, triggering a humiliating chain-reaction destruction of his racer.

Shmi does get a throwaway line stating that they're very unlikely to find someone in Mos Espa who actually cares about the Republic in any way (and with their ship's engine dead they're not going anywhere fast, not even to another spaceport), though.

If you carefully watch these scenes again, it's pretty clear the Queen's face is Natalie Portman, not Keira Knightley (her Body Double's actress). You can also tell something is up when the Queen is in red and gold when the Federation invades, but has changed completely different dark blue costume shortly after when the Federation captures her. The double is also taking cues from PadmÃ© about what to do next; when she mentions the journey to Coruscant will be dangerous, she specifically addresses her "handmaiden", and PadmÃ©'s reply, "We are brave, your highness," gives her the go-ahead to agree to accompany the Jedi.

The Phantom Menace / int_6de71c57	comment	Disc-One Final Boss: The movie ends with Yoda and Mace Windu wondering whether the Sith that Obi-Wan slew was the Big Bad or just a Disc One Final Boss. (The audience, having seen him taking orders from a man he calls "master" earlier in the film, knows the answer...and those that hadn't probably could've puzzled it out from the "Episode I" aspect.) However, the in-universe possibility they consider is that they had killed the Big Bad, meaning that the former Disc One Final Boss was now the new Big Bad.

The Phantom Menace / int_76cbbc0b	comment	George Lucas Altered Version: Both the DVD and Blu-Ray releases made some changes to the film. The puppet Yoda is replaced with a CGI Yoda in the Blu-ray release. Lucas claimed he always intended Yoda to be fully CGI in the film, but early attempts at it were unsatisfactory, forcing them to use the puppet. The DVD and Blu-ray extends the podrace sequence with new footage, while also removing a shot of Watto cheering "Sebulba!" An effects error causing Fode and Beed's hand to pass through their vest was fixed. And right after Jabba the Hutt's introduction before the podrace, a new voice is heard from a spectator when the camera is focused on the crowd. A new air taxi scene is added to the arrival on Coruscant. The Blu-ray alters the Vote of No Confidence scene to remove the "Vote now!" chants from the crowd, leaving a general uproar in its place. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's Force speed effect in the opening (when they escape the Droidekas) was redone to look more realistic. A close-up shot of Nute Gunray and Rune Haako watching a viewscreen showing the Jedi escaping was replaced for a wide shot with a new effect for the screen itself.

He uses this to manipulate the planetary governor, Queen Amidala of Naboo, into calling a vote of no confidence against Chancellor Valorum and get himself voted in. From here he continues to degrade democracy and the rule of law until he's able to trick the Senate into voting him absolute power. From there it's only a matter of time before he has an opportunity to declare himself Emperor.

PadmÃ©, following Palpatine's recommendation to call for a vote of no confidence, allowing the villain-in-sheep's clothing to become Chancellor. Knowing what led to Anakin turning to the dark side, the Jedi not accepting him earlier before Obi-Wan essentially threatened to go against the Order to train him himself also qualifies somewhat. More to the point, the Jedi Council knew that Anakin's mother was still a slave and if they'd just taken half an hour to go and rescue her after the events of the movie, it would have prevented her death and Anakin's first step to the dark side.

The Phantom Menace / int_8f350291	comment	Secret-Identity Identity: Two prominent Naboo figures, PadmÃ© and Palpatine, have cultivated two identities to deal public and private matters separately. In both cases, the public identity is the mask while the undercover identity is their true self. PadmÃ©'s is out of actual need, Palpatine's is... well... Queen Amidala is the emotionless, pampered queen who sits within the comfort of her guards and commands with a regal voice. PadmÃ© Naberrie is the sweet, kind handmaiden who befriends the lowly slaves and outcasts and speaks with a natural voice. Notably, PadmÃ© Naberrie is her birth name and Amidala is merely a given name that sticks with her long after her tenure as Queen of Naboo. Sheev Palpatine is the wise, humble senator who has been jaded by political corruption in the Senate, but believes things will get better if a stronger Chancellor is elected. Darth Sidious is the evil, manipulative Sith Lord responsible for the invasion of Naboo and much of corruption within the Republic. Tellingly, Darth Sidious appears first and feels more real than Senator Palpatine.

The Phantom Menace / int_97926168	comment	Rewatch Bonus: The only time PadmÃ© actually appears as Queen on Naboo before The Reveal is during her meeting with Senator Palpatine (and a single scene after when she is watching the invasion), her plea before the Galactic Senate, and when Anakin asks her to say goodbye to PadmÃ© for him when he thinks they'll never see each other again. If you carefully watch these scenes again, it's pretty clear the Queen's face is Natalie Portman, not Keira Knightley (her Body Double's actress). You can also tell something is up when the Queen is in red and gold when the Federation invades, but has changed completely different dark blue costume shortly after when the Federation captures her. The double is also taking cues from PadmÃ© about what to do next; when she mentions the journey to Coruscant will be dangerous, she specifically addresses her "handmaiden", and PadmÃ©'s reply, "We are brave, your highness," gives her the go-ahead to agree to accompany the Jedi. Panaka looks annoyed when he instructs the Jedi to take the queen's handmaiden PadmÃ© on Amidala's orders to scout the planet. He's actually worried for the queen's safety, since she is PadmÃ© and wants to explore the planet to get the parts they need, but will carry out her orders against his wishes. Qui-Gon doesn't seem too surprised to learn that PadmÃ© is actually the queen, hinting that he'd worked it out some time before. It lends some extra hilarity to rewatching their interactions on Tatooine, when it can look like Qui-Gon is gently trolling her when they discuss whether Queen Amidala would approve of what he's doing.

Anakin is able to cross through a claustrophobic tunnel in Beggar's Canyon, even as a pod ahead of him explodes. This helps him when he has to fly out of a docking bay that explodes around him in the final battle. Anakin contends with Tusken Raiders sniping his pod, just as he has to do with droid starfighters in the final fight. Anakin is able to stop his pod from spinning out of control, and later gets the engines to start again after they stall mid-flight. He later has to level out his starfighter when he gets hit during the space battle, and restart its engines when they overheat and shut down while he's stranded inside of the main hold of the droid control ship. During the trip back to Naboo, Anakin probes the pilot for information on how the queen's starship works. A few scenes later, he's able to fly one of the royal starfighters after some trial and error.

He manages get the engine going and quickly catches up to the competitors until it's only Sebula and him once more. Despite Sebula trying to ram him off the track, Anakin overcomes him and causes him to crash, allowing Anakin to win.

In addition, it is implied that Palpatine orchestrated the Naboo blockade invasion to gain more power, similar to how Adolf Hitler had some of his army pose as Polish people and attack their own key buildings so he'd have the excuse to invade Poland. It might also reference Hitler invading his native land of Austria, seeing how Palpatine was the senator of the same planet that he orchestrated the Trade Federation's invasion of. note There's more, here.

By having Darth Maul reveal himself, he even removes that potential loose end. Should Queen Amidala sign the treaty, Palpatine can lobby against this action in the Senate for Valorum's removal due to allowing this to take place. Should Queen Amidala escape into exile or be killed, Palpatine has himself a martyr to use for this same lobby. Should the Jedi be killed, the Republic would be forced to acknowledge the under-the-table actions Valorum had taken to try and avert this without taking a stand. With Queen Amidala's successful escape, she fell right into his lap for him to demonstrate the corruption of the Republic firsthand, manipulating her into calling for Valorum's removal, with public support on her side due to their plight.

The Knights advise the Naboo guard to not respond to distress signals so they won't be traced. Maul finds them anyway and nearly takes down Qui-Gon as he's leading Anakin to the ship. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon both put up a formidable fight against Maul, even cornering him at once point. He takes advantage of force fields separating the Knights and kills Qui-Gon.

The Phantom Menace / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The podrace is a space-age Chariot Race, complete with giant engines in place of horses, and the whole sequence is a huge reference to Ben-Hur (1959). The podrace scene does also owe a lot to the racing car sequence from Pinchcliffe Grand Prix (a fact that made all Norwegian viewers go "huh", as every Norwegian alive have seen that move at least five times). Some of Jar Jar's antics are taken almost directly from the films of Buster Keaton. Also as a likely Take That!, the leader of the Trade Federation is Nute Gunray after former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich as well as a reversal of Ronald Reagan, to get back at Project Star Wars (and possibly the public media funding cuts that forced a lengthy delay of the radio adaptation of Return of the Jedi), and the Neimoidian senator is named Lott Dodd after U.S. Senators Trent Lott and Chris Dodd. The Neimoidians are named after Leonard Nimoy. Even more amusingly, they were called Shatnerians in the earliest drafts of the script. The title itself is a reference to the Universal serial "The Phantom Creeps" and its first episode, "The Menacing Power". One of the Discovery's EVA pods from 2001: A Space Odyssey can be seen in Watto's junkyard. The reference book Star Wars: Complete Locations identifies it as "a repair and maintenance pod of unknown origin." One of the members of Captain Panaka's squad is named Cid. This was done in response to Square Enix having recurring characters named Biggs and Wedge. The design of the Trade Federation's troop-landing ships are nearly identical to the Torumekian armored corvettes in the Manga of NausicaÃ¤ of the Valley of the Wind.

Darth Sidious. In an interesting case, this appears to be played straight and subverted at the same time. Due to the ambiguity of the title, it could theoretically be applied to Darth Maul and Darth Sidious (playing the trope straight), or it could be applied to Anakin (subverting the trope since Anakin is decidedly not the antagonist of the film). The meaning of the title has only ever been met with Shrug of God, leaving it entirely open-ended. This has led some to theorize that Jar Jar Binks was/is meant to be a secret Sith Lord or dark side force user as a plot twist, given he is there from the beginning, but was retconned or cut for one reason or another.

The Phantom Menace / int_d3f57db5	comment	Planetville: All that's needed to conquer Naboo is simply taking the capital city, and "blockading" the whole planet from surrounding space with a handful of ships. A small or medium-sized country on Earth probably couldn't keep fighting once the capital was lost, but large nations typically have military districts that are able to operate independently of the capital. Unless the enemy fleet deployed millions of ships, they couldn't possibly cover all of the sky above Naboo, so the protagonists trying to flee the planet could select to go through an open area to leave the gravity well and jump to hyperspace rather than aiming their ship straight at the enemy fleet to "break through the blockage". Justified at one point. When Darth Maul traces Queen Amidala's ship to Tatooine, he points out that the planet is very sparsely populated, with only three major cities across the entire thing, which simplifies his search greatly. He is then shown dispatching groups of scout droids to each of the cities rather than trying to search them personally.

This is how PadmÃ© makes an alliance with the Gungans; she reveals herself during the negotiations while in her handmaiden guise, and gets on her knees to beg for their help. Her whole retinue follows suit. Rugor Nass previously held contempt for the Naboo humans, since other leaders believed they were better than the Gungans. When he realizes that PadmÃ© made herself vulnerable and blew her cover, complete with bowing to him, he agrees to ally with her to win their freedom. Sabe distracts Nute Gunray from the captured PadmÃ© by appearing in full regalia, firing at him, and declaring, "I'll sign no treaty!" Nute doesn't consider this a distraction at all, instead seeing it as the "real" queen coming to protect her decoy and orders the robots after Sabe.

Queen Amidala goes to the Senate to plead for help for her planet, calls for a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Valorum when he appears to delay, then Valorum is removed later and Palpatine voted into his place. All this happens in the span of a day, when the process of removing and replacing a government leader typically takes much longer, spanning months to even years. And given that the Galactic Senate is made up of literally thousands of representatives, it should take even longer.

The Phantom Menace / int_e43c66bd	comment	Art Evolution: The visual design of this film and the rest of the prequels is a very sharp contrast to the look of the original trilogy. By necessity the earlier films relied a lot on physical environments, elaborate costumes and matte paintings, while this film ran headfirst into using modern techniques including digital compositing, Green Screen and CGI creatures to craft their environments. This made the city vistas infinitely more complex than anything the original trilogy could have imagined and various things like chrome spaceships and Jar Jar's duck-like head would have been near impossible. This in turn made the environments feel a lot cleaner than the Used Future the original films pioneered, though the rest of the prequel films demonstrated this as intentional to show that the Clone Wars marked the end of a golden age before the rise of the Empire lead to more rustic aesthetics.

This ends up creating some Mood Whiplash considering all four of these battles have different tones and stakes.

R2 brings this up when Anakin turns the ship on and they end up in combat, and Anakin refuses to turn around. Nevermind that Anakin accidentally activates the Naboo fighter craft in question, subsequently blasts a few Destroyer droids and ultimately takes out the reactor core of the orbiting Trade Federation control ship... Yoda informs Obi-Wan that, while the Council agrees to give Obi-Wan the rank of Jedi Knight, he does not agree to let Obi-Wan train Anakin as his Padawan. After Obi-Wan adamantly insists to train Anakin, without the Council's approval if necessary, Yoda admits that though he personally still thinks it's dangerous (and rightly so), the Jedi Council as a whole have agreed to let him.

He ultimately thwarts the Trade Federations' invasion by blowing up their control ship, but even that was a lucky accident. Obi-Wan, meanwhile, despite having the most screen time of any character is just along for the ride- aside from cleaving droids to death he usually just sits on the sidelines while Qui-Gon drives the plot.

The Phantom Menace / int_f6b698ac	comment	Complexity Addiction: Heroic example. Qui-Gon's ridiculously complicated plan to get the hyperdrive replacement needed to repair Amidala's ship from Watto. Watto is apparently the only vendor in Mos Espa who has the part they need, but he won't take Qui-Gon's Republic credits because they're worthless on Tatooine, and Watto is immune to the Jedi Mind Trick. So Qui-Gon hatches an elaborate plan involving tricking Watto into gambling the part in an upcoming Pod Race and then entering Watto's nine-year-old slave Anakin into the race and having him win it for him. Even though the movie makes it pretty clear Qui-Gon's Force powers meant he knew Anakin would win, you'd think there might have been an easier (and less dangerous) way. Like finding someone willing to exchange credits for a local currency, or trading their current ship for a less valuable but functional one. Or just book passage on a transport, or with a smuggler or something. Give them all the money he has now (a trader or a smuggler would have use for Republic credits, unlike a planet-bound merchant like Watto), and promise them a reward from the Jedi council when they arrive at Coruscant. Or seeing if the Republic has something similar to Western Union and asking the Council to wire them money in a form cashable in local currency.

Even without Kenobi to assist him, they seem more or less evenly matched, as Maul and Qui-Gon knock eachother down once each in the final battle, and Qui-Gon does fine (albeit he quickly tires due to having hiked a long way while Maul took a speeder). However, while both use exhaustive and aggressive fighting styles called Ataru and Juyo for Jinn and Maul respectively and were very fit individuals, Maul was 22 years old while Qui-Gon was 48 in Canon and 60 years old in Legends. Thus, after an initially even exchange, Qui-Gon runs out of gas much faster than Maul does.
