My Amazing Experience Watching Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Opening Night!

Wiki Article



The reason I go to the movies is to escape the real world and share great film memories with fellow cinephiles. On occasion, A movie comes along that takes the movie-going experience to another level entirely. People from all over gather at the cineplex to witness history being made. Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace was one such movie.
It hit theaters May 19, 1999 and blew audiences away with state-of-the-art sound and visuals. The real excitement for me though was the pre-show. Waiting in line with friends for hours, discussing Star Wars at length, coming up with ideas about the movie's plot and just talking movies in-general for 8 1/2 hours, leading up to the release.
Opening night for most films now just aren' the same as they were in the 90s. You couldn't pre-buy tickets, get your seats in advance or show up 10 minutes before the doors opened. No, you had to put in far more work to see a movie like The Phantom Menace opening night. People camped out for days in some areas, fully dressed as a Storm Trooper or Sith Lorde.
In this video I share my found memories of Star Wars Episode 1 and encourage you to do the same in the comments!
