Any changes from the original release? There's plenty that could be improved with relatively minor tweaking.

Now a whole new generation can be exposed to the first time people were very angry over Star Wars.
Way better than Simon Pegg and J J Abram Shitquel Trilogy

I watched the 3D version in theater when it released 10(?) years ago. It's probably nostalgia but I like it. Even if the story and characters make no sense, at least it did well with world building and cool designs/esthetics.

This is how I feel too. It's the most interesting and original setting relative to other Star Wars media, and unfortunately the least explored.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
And Jedi's knew how to fight too.

I did like the movie... Natalie Portman looked beautiful in her Orange dress.

Def watching, EP1 looks really nice because it was shot on film compared to the digital cameras for ep2/3, it's almost night and day in picture quality.

It's not great but still probably the best of the prequel trilogy.
Pod racing and Dual of the Fates were great.

Disney. Knowing their audience. Brainstorming must have been epic. Okay, we need an idea so we can go to lunch. How about we remind folks of the biggest disappointment of a generation. Let's release the Phantom Menace again? Stopping drilling she/he/them/it. You hit oil!

Hard to describe the marketing around this movie when it was originally released. It was EVERYWHERE, and I mean everywhere.

It was the first movie I watched downloaded from the internet. Friend of mine had a faster connection and burned it on CD. I remember that we watched it together on his small CRT in his basement and at the end I thought that the bad quality probably affected my liking of the film. Went to the cinema to see it, but the quality of the movie didn't change ..

A week or two before the movie came out, there was the official launch day of the merchandise. My dad and I were inside Toys R Us for the midnight floodgates, and subsequently found our faces in the mob picture on the front page of the local paper. I still have it (but I don't show it off).
That's how big this movie was before it even came out...

They should reinstate some cut footage
starwars.fandom.com
Scenes cut from Star Wars
This is a partial list of scenes (some filmed, some in animatic form or merely considered) and dialogues that were either changed significantly during production or not included in any final release of the canon films or TV series. The list also includes yet to be used alternate takes of scenes...

The prequels are still trash.
Just not as big a pile of trash as the sequels.
They'd make the most money by releasing the three real Star Wars movies restored to their original forms.

It's funny , the last Star wars movie I saw in theaters was the phantom menace 3D re-release in 2012, and now I'm going to watch phantom menace again in theaters. I hope it's the original and not the one they fiddled with, I'd like to see the 1999 35 mm print again. This movie looks much better on film, I see the effects just look better on it.

I went to see this at the movies with a buddy while tripping hard on acid and it fucking sucked. I said it before and it's worth repeating, there are only 3 Star Wars movies. SW, Empire and Jedi. Everything else is bullshit.

TPM nostalgia is something else.
There will never, ever, ever be a movie as feverishly anticipated or heavily merchandised as The Phantom Menace again.

I didnt hate this movie as much as people wanted me to. Its an example of why the comical relief shouldnt have too much screen time and the tatooine section dragged along to long but otherwise i thought it was decent.
Definitely better than 2, 8 and 9, thats for sure.
Also it gave us Duel of the Fates and that track still fucking slaps

I have the DVD version, before Lucas went on a weekend crack binge with the homies, whilst working on that new CGI shitfest edit.

I love the prequel trilogy and I grew up seeing the original trilogy. I like how the prequels were different yet also the same. They were original and lots of fun.
It's too bad Disney messed it up with the sequel trilogy. And it's only gotten worse. Obi Wan show was pretty much the straw that broke the camel's back. I should have already given up after the sequel trilogy but some of these Disney Plus Star Wars shows are absolutely terrible.
