Line 9:
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: Obi-Wan calling Jar Jar a [[Fantastic Racism|"lower life form"]] sounds a lot worse after [[Attack of the Clones|his padawan kills a bunch of Sand People]].
** The [[False-Flag Operation]] is a lot harsher after the Truther conspiracy theory.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: In ''[[Mars Attacks
* [[Hype Backlash]]: Everyone had really high expectations after [[Sequel Gap|16 years]]. Many ended up disappointed.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: In light of later reveals, Senator Palpatine.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The journey through Naboo's core features the heroes' Gungan submarine getting attacked by a series of [https://web.archive.org/web/20140809042450/http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Opee_sea_killer.jpg freaky-looking] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:ColoClawFish.jpg sea monsters]. The largest of them all (and the inspiration for Qui-Gon's infamous "There's always a bigger fish" line) even has a [https://web.archive.org/web/20140811220911/http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Sando.jpg built-in] [[Slasher Smile]].
* [[Once-Acceptable Targets]]: Jar Jar has become this after 2019 where Ahmed Best revealed that he nearly killed himself due to people hating Jar Jar.
* [[Protection From Editors]]: Widely considered a reason for the questionable quality (so much that George Lucas even hired co-writers or ghost writers for ''[[Attack of the Clones]]'' and ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]'').
* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: [[Keira Knightley]] is the queen's decoy, since she's an [[Identical Stranger]] to [[Natalie Portman]]. The disguise is so perfect, people often forget that Knightley had a role in the film at all.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Jar Jar is one of the most infamous, and is the [[Trope Namers]] [[De/Der Jar Jar|in German]]. [[
** Also falls into [[Alien Scrappy]]/[[Ethnic Scrappy]] territory. He's a Scrappy Casserole, a dish you really don't want to eat.
* [[Special Effect Failure]]: There's two major instances, the most noticeable is when Darth Maul falls down a pit after he dies, he's a CG double that somehow sounds like rubber.
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
** As mentioned above, Anakin's life as a slave is shown as relatively happy and tranquil, and the man who owns him is presented as a decent guy (though he's pretty greedy). And being ''freed'' seems to give him more angst than being a slave, since it means leaving his family behind.
*** This isn't entirely unrealistic though, especially the last part. Skilled labor slaves like Anakin were often treated fairly well in the real world, and families being broken up when only some of them were freed actually happened.
* [[Values Resonance]]: After 20 years, the prequel trilogy is starting to feel more relevant with declines of democracies and trade disputes.
* [[Vindicated by History]]: After the mixed-to-negative reception of the sequel trilogy, this and the other prequels made by George Lucas got a better reception, including its more cohesive story.
* [[Visual Effects of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|Visual Effects of Awesome]]: One of the few unanimous aspects of the movie.
* [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?]]: [[Word of God]] said so himself...
