Hi guys, this is Thomas down in Southern Maryland.

I'm finally completely caught up on the show.

I love listening to it.

I wanted to share a Phantom Menace memory.

When it came out, I was station aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt and we were overseas in the Mediterranean

but our captain was cool enough to have a

projector flown out to the ship and we were able to sit out in the hangar bay of the ship and watch Phantom Minus.

I think I probably saw it about six times sitting down on a hard hangar bay floor and it really broke up our trip and made it kind of nice

so I have nice memories associated with Phantom Miss. Keep up to good work and enjoy listening to you guys.

Thanks. the good work I enjoy listening to you guys thanks Welcome back to Star Wars Minute. It's your daily podcast in which we analyze, scrutinize,

and celebrate The Phantom Menace one minute at a time. I'm Alex Robinson from comicbook Alex.com. I'm

Pete the retailer from Pete the retailer.com. I'm Matt Bellnap from Never Not Funny, a

podcast. Welcome back to the show, Matt. Thanks. Oh oh it's great to be here I'd love this

especially I think last time we were I was on we were talking about the first trailer for

force awakens and now we're in full obsession mode.

It's probably I probably spend at least half of every day thinking about Star Wars.

So I any excuse to talk about it more is welcome. Well first of all I loved

episode when it came out. I saw it three times opening weekend. It only took

it like took a year or two before it dawned on me.

Maybe that wasn't the greatest, but like there was so much to love about it.

But I still also, even if the movie itself doesn't fully hold up for me,

the buildup to it was great.
