Star Wars: Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary Special (2024)

The heat of Tatooine is a constant weight on the boy Anakin Skywalker. His dreams are filled with the impossible architecture of a Jedi temple, visions that feel more real than the sand. In the desert, a lone Tusken Raider leaves an offering, a silent transaction in the dunes. Far away, the underwater cities of Naboo hold the fierce loyalty of a Gungan, a heart beating in time with the deep currents. Back in Mos Espa, his mother’s quiet ache is a presence as solid as the junk in their shop. These fragments of feeling—the dream, the gift, the heart, the ache—coalesce around him, long before anyone recognizes the horror taking shape within their future hero.
