Shut Up Anakin! Battle for Naboo Space Battle Fan Edit
165A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I saw The Phantom Menace four times at the cinema.
In these post-Disney times, Star Wars doesn't have the old sheen that it used to have for me.
That said, I always found Anakin's childish one-liners during a space battle where people are dying to be somewhat out of place. Why wouldn't he be taking a life or death battle as seriously as he took the race he was in earlier in the film?
So here I have edited together the space battle scenes, and removed Anakin's unnecessary dialogue. I've left in dialogue where he is directly addressing R2 about their situation. I think it makes Anakin seem much more competent and in control, just like he was during the podrace.
Let me know if you agree in the comments!
Star Wars created by George Lucas and owned by Disney (bleh).
Music by John Williams.
