"The Phantom Menace" was also Lucas' first time back as a DGA film director after a 22 year absence.
The film follows 'Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn' and his apprentice 'Obi-Wan Kenobi', who escort and protect 'Queen Amidala', traveling from the planet 'Naboo' to the planet 'Coruscant' in the hope of negotiating a peaceful end to a large-scale interplanetary trade dispute.
Along the way, they meet 'Anakin Skywalker', a slave who seems to have strong nascent powers of 'The Force', while contending with the mysterious return of the 'Sith'.
"The Phantom Menace" grossed $924.3 million worldwide, making it the "Star Wars" film with the highest grossing box office income of all time.
