The Phantom Menace/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Pod Racing!
  • The Naboo Fighters are sweet!
  • The Destroyer Robots.
  • Darth Maul. Just about all of his screentime.
  • Qui-Gon has three of these moments:
    • When he's cutting up, then melting down the blast door, while the Force Theme plays on the soundtrack,
    • When, after Maul knocks Obi-Wan off a catwalk, Qui-Gon responds by hip-checking the Sith, then pimp-slapping him off the same catwalk,
    • And when the three of them are separated by the energy walls, he simply kneels down to rest and meditate, utterly cool in the face of impending combat.
  • The Qui Gon/Obi Wan/Maul duel is the best choreographed fight in both trilogies.
    • Awesome Music: The Darth Maul/Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan lightsaber battle music (Duel of the Fates) has become a marching band staple.
  • The credits end with Vader's breathing.
  • The heroes using a Shell Game to outwit the Trade Federation forces during the final battle.
