Summary: <p>Start your engines! Just in time for the Boonta Eve Classic, we’re getting back to our roots with a rewatch of The Phantom Menace.</p> <p>A lot has changed since we watched Phantom on the first two episodes of Growing Up Skywalker (and we have, too!). Our recap centers on the viewers we used to be versus the watchers we are today. We talk about how our perceptions of the main quartet — Anakin, Qui-Gon, Padmé and Shmi — have changed wildly over time. We try to figure out why George Lucas decided to start Star Wars here, and why he decided to frame it around an economic story. We share our favorite Easter eggs, and — most importantly — crown a Queen of Bae Watch.</p> <p>Grab your rain slicker and Zam Wesell’s red lipstick, because next week, we’re rewatching Attack of the Clones!</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/growingupskywalker/message
