Mit „Star Wars – Eine dunkle Bedrohung“ startete die zweite Trilogie des „Star Wars“-Universums. In diesem Film wurde den Zuschauern erstmals „Königin Amidala“ vorgestellt. Um sich vor Angriffen zu schützen, nutzte diese ein Double namens „Sabé“, welches von Keira Knightley dargestellt wurde.  

Keira Knightley in „Star Wars“

Als die Dreharbeiten im Sommer 1997 begannen, war Keira Knightley gerade einmal zwölf Jahre alt. Allerdings sah die Schauspielerin schon damals so erwachsen aus, dass sie eine verblüffende Ähnlichkeit zu Natalie Portman aufwies. Natalie spielte „Königin Amidala“ und war zum Zeitpunkt des Drehs 16 Jahre alt.  

Trotz des Altersunterschieds von vier Jahren sahen sich die beiden Schauspielerinnen richtig ähnlich, besonders wenn sie Make-up trugen. Wie Keira Knightley in der „Graham Norton Show“ verriet, bekam sie für ihre Rolle kein Skript und keine Informationen, wen sie spielen würde. So sollte verhindert werden, dass die Zuschauer zu früh erfuhren, dass „Amidala“ ein Double hat. Weitere Infos dazu, erfahrt ihr im Video!

Can supposedly not live up to the high expectations

'Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace'. A movie, which has a difficult standing in the fan community. For me, not understandable, because I really like the movie and it's a successful prelude to the formerly new trilogy.

Admittedly, the movie has weaknesses. First of all, the hair-raising attempt to explain what 'the force' is. Qui-Gon tries to explain to Anakin that there are Midi-Chlorianes which are the basis and the reason for everything. Anakin replies that he doesn't understand what Qui-Gon is trying to explain to him. Thereupon Qui-Gon lets it rest and the scene is over. Of course, you wonder what that was all about. So either you explain it correctly or you leave it completely. But so the whole thing seems really unnecessary.

The entire storyline is unnecessarily complex and I have to admit that I didn't really understand it. You do have the feeling that you can understand the motivation of the respective characters, but the entire political plot is not 100% clear. It seems like an overambitious attempt to get seriousness into the movie.

Jar Jar Binks. Here, you realize that the movie was made for a younger audience. Jar Jar is an attempt to be funny in a childish and clumsy way. It wouldn't have needed it. However, I didn't find it really disturbing either.

These are points of criticism, but they only bother me to a limited extent. Episode I has so many strong moments. The whole act of introducing Anakin, the way Tatooine is portrayed, the really well staged pot race. All these moments know how to convince.

The chemistry between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan is brilliant. And while we're on the subject of characters, Darth Maul is for me one of the best antagonists there is. The few scenes with him manage to build a mystical aura around him. The fight between these three characters is outstanding as well.

Episode I is hard to compare to the first Star Wars movies. And it is precisely this comparison that is Episode I's undoing. The movie were made at a different time, have a different tone and of course it can't be denied that this movie was also made for a younger audience.

For me, Episode I did what Episode IV did for many others. To ignite enthusiasm for the Star Wars universe.
