Twenty Five Years ago The Phantom Menace arrived with levels of hype never seen before or since and although it ultimately failed to meet those expectations it ushered in a new era of fan-driven enthusiasm that continues to this day. This is not the story of a dream that was left like a limbless smoldering mess on banks of a Mustafar lava river; it is also the story of how new technology changed fandom and the movie-going experience forever.

Summary: Star Wars The Phantom Menace was a film 20 years in the making, and like the original film before it, Episode I pushed special effects to new heights, changed film marketing, merchandising and fandom. Released at the internet was entering the mainstream The Phantom Menace was one of the first films to take advantage of the internet for marketing and also saw the birth of a new breed of online fandom that not only celebrated the film but also demonized it. This is a story of unprecedented movie hype and ultimate and predictable disappointment.
