[@DrCorndog1]

You've really got to admire the scope of this game, though. It's a third-person shooter/action-platformer with puzzles and adventure elements, featuring both linear and free-roam levels. I think that's why I loved it as a kid.

[@ShorePlain]

Hell yeah. Despite the harsh difficulty spikes at times, it was really awesome to play as a kid. Very ambitious even though its a rushed mess.

[@Senza32]

Yea this game reminds me a lot of Dark Forces II. I mean, Dark Forces II is actually a good game, but..... you know.

[@wra7h]

and it has lightsabers too

[@dmitriygryaznov9210]

I loved it too, especially the Tatooine levels. I really wish someone would use their concept to build an entire game out of it, but... who am I kidding.

[@matthewarnold4557]

It took my 7 year old ass a week to figure out how to get pass the first room.

[@azenfrany330]

I remember this game being "so real-looking" back in the day

[@sthxdnn1]

I remember this being my GTA substitute before GTA, where I tried to murder everyone on Tatooine.

[@krwawyzenon5747]

it looked WAY better on PC. Or at least that's how I remember it :)

[@Stryke607]

the computer version has a way higher resolution and does in fact look quite good compared to this.

[@foxfire1112]

12:25 was cracking me up. I remember this was basically real life to me

[@Spider250]

it looks way better than this video, dont know what happend here

@@Qardo lmao jar jar fuckin sucks

[@Ramzeke]

@@Qardo but on that same note, he also was a major contributing factor to the rise of the empire

[@deathofkings5633]

This game feels like a living breathing pop-up book. I love stuff in it like how you jump to a ledge on Coruscant and crawl through to some locked away section of a building but there's people standing around making you wonder what kind of seedy deals are going down. What kind of stories they have to tell. Felt very Star Wars.

[@Stryke607]

This game is legendary. The low budget voice acting is hilarious (even more so in some other languages), the boss fights are often absolutely unfairly difficult, it just reinvents completely new parts to the story ... I still love and hate it.

[@artificialfreedom]

Before Disney the game was completely canon, Ive lost it when I remembered this game while reading the wookiepedia article to obi-wan.

[@DrEnzyme]

The voice actress for Padme is Grey DeLisle, she's actually very talented. Maybe they only had the money for one take or something XD

So glad staff let Saintmillion show off that glitch at the end

Some say that Qui Gon is still stuck in the starting room to this very day...

53:10 is probably one of the funniest moments ive ever seen in a GDQ run, holy shit

[@IncomingNumbers]

Not a speedrun a light team member would show you

[@Tama_Abiru]

Regarding the in-game time explanation they were going for: RTA was 00:49:03.3, or 2943.3 seconds. IGT reads 0002:52:00 or 2520.0 seconds. The difference is 423.3 seconds. The IGT for the first level reads 100.3 s and in the video I count it from 0:43 to 2:24, or 43 s to 144 s. It doesn't seem to count loading or cutscenes in the time. Very handy.

[@spobe]

OH MY GOD “stop pushing me!” Guy on the tattooine level, to this day I still randomly say that in his voice for no apparent reason lol I miss this game!

[@patdornoff9383]

I want nothing to do with you!

[@ChrisMHilton]

SaintMillion is an absolute boss. I will definitely have to find more of him. Need him back for more GDQ events!

[@noahfessenden6478]

He has his own channel. Not speedrun based but great content nonetheless.

[@MrHeroicDemon]

I have never watched star wars, maybe half of one, but I was busy so I dont even recall most of it. I'm here straight up for the speed, explanations, jokes, and a chill time.

[@yamahasOwn]

I was really hoping that Padme would come bursting in during the final cut scene where Obi Wan is talking to Qui Gon while he's dying and update us on the hover-cannons.

[@MariusRhinox]

I was hoping Qui Gon would yell about the room filling with poison gas.

[@Pedantic2025]

MORE HOVER CANONS WILL BE COMING!

[@plaguedoct0r]

I played this as a kid. It's so cool to see it be broken in half. Epic!!!

[@Empress_Theresa]

I played the PC version. It's no much better.

[@zaorst]

man i used to love the pc version of this game as a kid. one of my favorite birthday gifts ever

[@Cbb88dragonborn]

Ah Phantom Menace, where the whole trilogy could’ve been ended if they simply hadn’t opened the doors after gassing them

[@athath2010]

@@calviincalifornia4048 But did Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon know that particular technique? Didn't they have to use rebreathers to breathe while in the waters of Naboo? Were the rebreathers just for convenience?

[@SOMEGUY7893]

@@calviincalifornia4048 Not every Jedi had learned how to do that stuff.

[@deathofkings5633]

I really loved this game. Seeing your ship blow up and the pieces flying at you, helping the rebel forces in on Naboo, the weapon pick ups and blaster battles, the massive amounts of droids you can run at in Theed blew me away, and the iconic three-part battle at the end, plus Tatooine felt open world with lots of stuff going on.

Hey does anyone know what the status is on the hovercannons?

One of the very first games I ever played. I didn't realize there was a speed running community for this game. Saw the thumbnail and date and was in disbelief. Nice to know others are so fond of this game still. Great work.

[@Jakobian]

Oh my god this is the best run. I need to find more runs by SaintMillion

[@naolynx2244]

Dude, this speed run was hilarious and incredibly entertaining, loved it !

[@NZOMV]

love that the speedrunners buddies are having a good laugh and enjoying the run a long with him. I used to think this game was a sandbox game back when i was a kid, lol. You can tell they put a decent amount of effort into the scale of the game.

[@KillYounglings]

Ohhhh you gonna get PASTED outlaunder!

[@kineticconsular2689]

loved this game, one of my childhood memories, it looks so hard now. no idea how 7 year old me managed the first few levels let alone the whole game, deserves a remaster someday

There is no other game in this world that shaped my childhood like this one. Just epic.

Oh god, I remember this game. I don't think I ever beat it as it was too difficult for me as a kid. I do remember the controls being complete jank though. Only thing i remember.

[@Stryke607]

same here, it was insanely difficult. Sadly, I can't get it to run properly anymore.

[@ballroomscott]

I only beat it because my brother hacked it to have infinite health and force power and then save scumming the platforming.

[@DrZaius3141]

Not beating it is all fine. I got to the final level when it started bugging out with Obi spinning and spinning. Because I was a kid, I didn't know how to copy save games or anything, so we reinstalled the game, losing all progress. Don't think I ever had the stamina to go back afterwards.
