Every generation has a legend. Every journey has a first step. Every saga has a beginning.

I am a suspect to write about Star Wars, because I like very much the story and I watched the old trilogy many times when I was a kid. ''The Phantom Menace'' is the first episode of the Star Wars series and when we start to know about Luke and Leia's parents, Amidala and Anakin, and also about the Siths and Jedis. We don't have many problems in the galaxy until then, so many people have a better quality of life than in the older trilogy, when everybody is afraid of Darth Vader: even princess Leia wear simple clothes, while her mother Amidala had the most flashy and outstanding wardrobe ever made! For me was very nice to see Obi Wan Kenobi as a young apprentice who does not want to be Anakin's master and to know Obin wan's master, the calm Qui-Gon Jinn. Watching episode 1 ,we can see one of the reasons why Anakin would be a problem in the future, being apart from his mother who continued to be a slave in the planet Tattooine. I started to understand more Anakin and when I saw that cute and smart sweet boy I could not believe he would become a monster in the future.
