Qui-Gon intends to train Anakin in the ways of the Jedi, but the job ends up falling to Obi-Wan after Qui-Qon is killed in combat with Sidious’ apprentice, Darth Maul. Qui-Gon barters for the freedom of Anakin, whose off-the-charts Midi-chlorian count could signal that Anakin is a prophesied Chosen One that will bring balance to the Force. Here they meet a fatherless young slave named Anakin Skywalker, who helps the Jedi earn the money they need to fix their ship by winning an epic pod race. If we’re doing this in narrative order, the overarching story of the Star Wars film franchise begins with The Phantom Menace: under the secret instruction of Darth Sidious (soon to also be Supreme Chancellor Palpatine of the Galactic Republic), the Trade Federation deploys a blockade around the peaceful world of Naboo, setting in motion a series of events that sees Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi escaping the planet with Queen Amidala and landing on Tatooine in search of spaceship parts. Alright, let’s kick things off: Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
