EP190 “The Phantom Menace Revisited: 25 Years of Galactic Intrigue”

Join us as we journey back to a galaxy far, far away, where midi-chlorians hum, lightsabers clash, and political machinations unfold. It’s been a quarter-century since “The Phantom Menace” graced the silver screen, and we’re celebrating its enduring legacy. Join Ro and Mark Newbold from Fantha Tracks as they tackle the story of the first prequel. We're on a Phantom Menace kick all month as we remember this 25 year old movie. Last week we tackled the Hype with Scott Ryfun, this week were talking story!

🌟 What to Expect:

Nostalgia and Insights: We’ll reminisce about the anticipation leading up to the film’s release, the iconic podrace on Tatooine, and the enigmatic Sith Lord, Darth Maul.
Behind-the-Scenes Secrets: Uncover hidden gems from the making of the film—did you know that Ewan McGregor practiced lightsaber moves in his backyard?
Jar Jar Binks Reconsidered: Love him or loathe him, Jar Jar left an indelible mark. We’ll discuss his impact on “Star Wars” lore.

So grab your old-fashioned 3D glasses, pop some popcorn, and join us as we revisit the saga that ignited our imaginations. May the Force be with you!

Join the talks as we start a month long journey back 25 years to the opeing of Star Wars, Episode One: The Phantom Menace. Ro and Scott Ryfun start out Star Wars month with a discussion about what we remember pre launch. It's a hype machine you had to live through to understand it.

Pizza, cola, burgers, tacos and more, The Phantom Menace was EVERYWHERE, and we do mean everywhere. We'll dive into our own experiences and compare it to some more current hype machines. But it's hard to believe this movie is a quarter of a century old this May.

Plus, from #ScarifLive we hear from the founder of the Star Wars fan club Dan Madsen on his experience being in the film and how he feels 25 years alter. We also have a reaction from director Kyle Newman, this one is chock full o goodness.

Welcome to EP188. Join Tim from the FSF Popcast and Ro discuss and revisit the Book Of Boba Fett. This series was released in December 29, 2021 and the fans have critiqued, discussed and more or less maligned this series but does it deserve all the thumbs down? Well, we take a look at some of the good like new character introductions, the bad, spinning Vespa crew, I'm looking at you and the ugly, dad bod Gamoreans anyone?

We also tackle the 'question of the week' from Twitter, your thoughts on why George Lucas had that magic touch with films like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc. We read your comments and there are some great ones.

Big thanks to Josh from the Trash Compactor Podcast for joining me on this week's #SentryMode segment. I ask him some Star Wars questions and we recall some great memories from the From Star Wars to Jedi behind the scenes doc we all have seen so many years ago.

Join the discussion. Log on and listen to another awesome episode of the Scarif Scuttlebutt Podcast.

Do you ever wonder how some of the Star Wars technology works? Does hyperspace travel defy explanation? Or how about holograms? Does communication disruption REALLY only mean one thing? Maybe their router needs to be reset? Yes, join DJ and Ro as they curmudgeonly discuss technology that frustrates. This is a fun tongue in cheek discussion of some of the franchise's most head scratching tech.

We've got some voicemails too and we respond to a previous Question of the Day about bad guys and their redemption. Take a listen to the latest SSP, EP187.
