Rated PG
⭐️⭐️⭐️ (out of 5)
The saga begins again in this galaxy-spanning prequel that introduces Jedi, Sith, and the seeds of a much larger conflict. Starring Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, and Natalie Portman, The Phantom Menace blends lightsaber duels, political intrigue, and eye-popping spectacle into pure late-’90s blockbuster energy. A nostalgic cornerstone of the VHS era and a must for Star Wars collectors.
