Marvel and Greg Pak deliver a comic adaptation of The Phantom Menace featuring the character of Anakin Skywalker that celebrates his good heart.
There have been a lot of fun ways to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Star Wars: Episode One: The Phantom Menace this year. In this episode, we are looking at one more. Greg Pak wrote an intriguing story that retells The Phantom Menace while paying particular attention to the character of Anakin Skywalker before, during, and after the events of the film. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we are discussing this one-shot comic and finding what worked for us, how it enhances the movie, and what could have been better.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Exactly what kind of story The Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary Special #1 is,
- Anakin’s opening dream about becoming a Jedi,
- The rescue of a Tusken Raider captured by slavers in Mos Eisley,
- How this story interweaves with the events of The Phantom Menace,
- Anakin’s observations of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan arguing about him,
- What Jar Jar has to say about Anakin’s character, and
- Some glimpses of Anakin’s future.
