Star Wars: The Phantom Menace | Remastered Trailer

Fear is the path to the dark side…
Celebrate the 25th anniversary with the original teaser trailer for #ThePhantomMenace, now in theaters.

i hope that blonde kid who left his mama and is expected to bring balance to the force never falls to the dark side due to anger issues and some manipulative old man.

I was 6 years old in 99' My Grandad died that year who was my best friend at the time. My Mum and Auntie took me to see this film called star wars. Had no real idea what it was about.... My Mum said it was a way for me to deal with the trauma of losing my grandad. My life changed for ever.... My love and excitement for star wars has never left me since being a young boy. I'm now 31 with a daughter whom I want to share these moments with. This film will always be a special film for me. ❤️

I love that the organic 35mm grain structure is intact in this trailer. It's really lacking from the Disney+/UHD Bluray presentation of the film, as it is an upscale of the 2K master with too much noise reduction applied, making certain shots look very waxy and pasty.

Cool can’t wait for the first Star Wars movie to get remastered

[@thefriendlygamer2221]

All the star wars films have been remastered on 4k for years They just uploaded the remastered trailer today for the 25th anniversary

[@nikivella1159]

The one on Blu ray isn't the theatrical version

[@CBoxStudios]

@@thefriendlygamer2221 They were joking. Lucas has "remastered" the first movie several times.

[@1stMarDivDelta]

Yeah I’m a lil confused. Like this probably for Disney- but it would’ve been nice to see the remastered shots for the trailer not the original trailer reuploaded

[@nickydee569]

@@thefriendlygamer2221 Episodes 1-3 UHDs were made with 2K masters. Episodes 2-3 were filmed in 1080p so they can never be 4K. Phantom Menace however was shot on 35mm

[@tarheelpiper]

I loved this movie in '99 and I love it now. I am not ashamed.

[@NOBODIES_XIII]

This was the first Star Wrs movie I saw in theaters, Shout out to my elementary school for taking us to the theaters to see this 💪🏽🎇

[@miriglith4293]

Anyone else remember waiting two hours for this to download?

[@BeTeLGeuZeX]

Was such a perfect time as a kid to be ushered into the Galaxy far far away. Ill never forget

[@Cococrash11]

Awesome Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Remastered Trailer.

[@Kiggezoo]

I was 9 years old when this came out in Sweden. I saw it at a tiny local cinema who had to change the rolls in the middle of the podcast. Something was wrong with the projector so the second half of the movie was all green but man did I LOVE that movie and still do today! It was pure FUN!

[@BennyHuevos]

Insane how much better this movie is than people think. Maybe the best looking Star Wars movie

[@thegoodreylo4749]

That would be The Last Jedi or Rogue One. The CGI in these prequels looks very dated.

[@jokersart146]

I hope these films never get a bad sequal

[@JJTWrites]

😂😭

[@bigfloppa9594]

The prequels were a bad sequel lmao

[@jeremybryant5778]

First Star Wars film I ever saw at 4 years old. I've been hooked ever since

[@AlipashaSadri]

25 years ago I watched this clip SOOOOOOO maniy times... watching it again brought so many emotions.... 🤩

[@JohnnySoCal]

The podracers need to make a comeback!!!

[@itshistory5713]

This trailer looks intriguing. Looks like Disney is getting ready to deliver the best movie they've ever made!

[@shuttlecommander]

I was seven years old when this came out in theatres, I still remember the day me and my family went to go see it. I had Qui Gon's lightsaber because green is my favorite color. My younger brother had Obi Wan's because blue is his, and my cousin had darth mauls.

[@Eswagasaur]

These were the days… can’t believe Star Wars has been back since 2015 and we’ve only gotten 2 good movies (force awakens & Rogue One) since then.

[@SubterrelProspector]

Huh that's wierd. The title logo at the end is missing "The Phantom Menace".

[@joe3019772008]

i remember when this was shown on movie trailers channel on our tv in florida. my mom taped it when i was sleeping and she told me the next morning she had surprise for me and it was the teaser trailer for episode one. i watched that over and over again and when the second trailer came out with the title, i got goose bumps from watching it, it had me so excited.

[@adamsteinbacher2629]

Love this on film. Can't tell you how many times I saw this while I worked at a theater in '99, had to keep the reel from brain wrapping on the platter. Good times.

[@itsvader]

After 25 years, I still got chills for the trailer.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

I still remember the thrill of seeing this trailer on the big screen. 🤯

[@BrandonDuckett]

Ooooh they remastered the TRAILER. Got it.

[@TheJJZeeman]

Man I was just a tiny kid when this came out. Will always be my favorite Star Wars film.

[@robertcetto]

I must admit: I still really love this movie. Saw it in cinema back then, great experience!

[@shadowofdark5477]

I think we'll be getting a Darth Jar Jar Bings film soon..🌚

[@numble9773]

Can’t wait to see this new jar jar binks character, hope he doesn’t become the idealistic reason people will potentially hate these prequel movies

[@joshdobbs23]

Just saw this recently at the movies for the 25th anniversary release… was absolutely amazing

[@ExplosionComicsTV]

one of the most exciting trailers of all time! I remember going to the movie theater to see random movies just to see this trailer!

[@ethanparkes8109]

Super underrated film
