Hunter is once again joined for a Midnight Millennial Cowboys by Eric Zaldivar and Zolly Becker to mark the occasion of the re-release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in the theater. Here we look back at the cultural events surrounding its release, the ebb and flow of Star Wars in the culture, and how the film was George Lucas' final authentic expression as a filmmaker. No smarmy Gen X takes, no RLM nitpicking, just what Star Wars meant at the time in 1999.
