Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, one of cinema's all-time more divisive contributions, was the very first piece of content in the Star Wars franchise to officially appear on DVD, almost two and a half years after its original theatrical release. The two-disc set features a generous helping of special features, and after inserting the first disc, one of three different menu schematics is loaded, a practice that would also be used on the original DVDs of Episodes II-VI.

Trivia[]

  • The character clips on each Disc 1 menu mostly follow the same pattern: Queen Amidala and Anakin, followed by separate shots of Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Darth Maul, and then two clips from the climactic lightsaber duel. However, in-between Maul's two appearances, each planet has a different set of clips:
    • Naboo: R2-D2, Jar Jar Binks, Boss Nass
    • Tatooine: C-3P0, Shimi Skywalker, Watto
    • Coruscant: Yoda, Mace Windu, Chancellor Valorum
