A great beginning.

Rating: Null/10 (13 June 2002)

This is set thirty years before Star Wars:A New Hope. It starts with young jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi(Ewan Mcgregor)and his jedi mentor Qui-Gon Jinn(Liam Nesson) try to protect Queen Amidala(Natalie Portman) from some bad intergalactic warriors, who want her to sign a certain treedy. They team up with an annoying water creature named Jar Jar Binks. They make an escape, but they soon realize they half to make stop on an desert planet, for some new parts. Qui-Gon meets 9 year old Anakin Skywalker(Jake Lloyd). Qui-Gon soon discovers that the force is amazingly strong with him. After they get the ship fixed, Qui-Gon decides to take Anakin back, in hopes to train him has a jedi. This was truly a great movie. Amazingly great story telling by George Lucas. It was nice to see the origins of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. I don't care what critics say about this movie, I loved it. I've been a Star Wars fan for a long time, and I was truly excited when this movie came out. It had great action, great drama, and a great light saber fight scene. Truly a great beginning.
