The Phantom Menance within ourselves can be an ally or a self defeating enemy. Control and self reflection is what brings this duality of man to life within the giant capacitor scene of Star Wars the Phantom Menance. The unknown or fear verse knowledge and the insight to use that knowledge correctly.
In Pennsylvania Westinghouse electric was fortunate to use a giant Van De Graff generator for "atom smashing" studies in particle physics. If not for the lumber industry and train disasters George Westinghouse and Nicola Tesla may have never met. But the air brake changed history in the lumber industry of the West. Tesla changed AC voltage production with Westinghouse at Niagra Falls. Thus history was altered by economic pressure.
Orthodox values in change with conditions is a vital thought process. For example 200 years ago a British General by the name of St. Clair was defeated in Western Pennsylvania by the six nations of native North Americans because of his orthodox military values against gorilla warfare.
Today, in modern cinema, what does the Phatom Menace really offer in terms of entertainment. High quality color & sound. Does this plot really reflect the major theme of the Star Wars trilogy? Or, is entertainment being driven like technology by economic pressure? When a pilot is asked to do a duty in combat do they need to ask why? Who is the combat pilot? The stress of advancing technology pushing the human physiology to its limits of failure? Why must the combat pilot do their duty? Is it a job or a duty? I guess it depends on the person and the given the person they decide the duty to match skill and desire to meet the objective.
Take the movie for what its worth in terms of entertainment, I liked it. Mostly it was the color and lighting.
