Triple the Excitement
prevnextIf you were too young to remember, the lead up to #ThePhantomMenace was insane. Remember 2015 before The Force Awakens? Now triple it. We’ve had 3 generational pop culture seismic events caused by Star Wars in 40 years. Think about that.

Incredible Duel
prevnextIt’s been 20 Years since The Phantom Menace was released.
It was a huge part of my childhood, and I thank George Lucas everyday for it♥️
Oh and Duel of The Fates is one of the most incredible Lightsaber battles of any Star Wars film.#ThePhantomMenace #20yearsold pic.twitter.com/0weFJNUcKI

Spoilers
prevnextHappy 20th birthday to #ThePhantomMenace. I didn’t get to see it the night it came out but some kid in my class did, and he spoiled it for me by saying Darth Maul gets cut in half at the end.
If you’re out there somewhere, Keith, I want you to know that I still hate you, bitch.

Ahmed Best is the Best
prevnextOne of the best things to come out of #ThePhantomMenace was the emergence of @ahmedbest. Not only did his performance in the film revolutionize special effects, but his propagation of positivity and friendliness since the film’s release is something to be admired #BestStarWars pic.twitter.com/1ZFUeX9Q7j

Buzzing With Excitement
prevnextWow. Has it really been 20 years? Seems like only yesterday I was taking my new Qui-Gon LEGO figure to the theater, having a lightsaber fight in the aisle, and buzzing with excitement from 12:01 AM until...well, now, I suppose.
