The Phantom Menace/Trivia: Difference between revisions

* [[Recycled Script]]: The heroes visiting an underwater city to parlay with its ruler was originally a big plot point in Lucas' first draft for the original film, ''The Adventures of Starkiller: The Star Wars''.

* [[Sequel Gap]]: 16 years between this and ''Jedi's'' release.

* [[Star-Making Role]]: Both [[Ewan McGregor]] and [[Natalie Portman]] were well respected actors but were in either small roles or independent films. This movie made them big names. Ray Park also fits in, as his presence in the final battle was one of the most memorable parts of the movie.

** On the other hand, it was a [[Star-Derailing Role]] for Jake Lloyd. He was never a star, but he had a respectable career as a child actor before this film. He did one movie after it and then quit acting.
