Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) Trailers & TV Spots

Requested by Sam Whitacre, ‪@willcalverley8741‬ & ‪@baileydavis1616‬

Collection of all the promotional material I managed to find for the first installment in George Lucas' highly divisive prequel trilogy of Star Wars. In regards to my opinion on Phantom Menace, I'm in the camp of "it's bad, but it's got some enjoyable elements and performances". Especially Ewan McGregor as young Obi Wan. One of the best castings in cinema history.
