Despite being released 22 years after the first Star Wars film, The Phantom Menace was released in 1999 dubbed ‘Episode I.’ This new prequel trilogy sought to tell the rise and fall of a young boy, Anakin Skywalker, and followed his journey to the Dark Side to become the fearsome Darth Vader that we first saw in A New Hope in 1977. This beautiful 24-Carat gold commemorative expertly captures the drama and tension of one of the most nail-biting, cinematic sequences since the Trench Run attack in Episode IV. The scene depicted on this commemorative is ripped straight from the movie, and depicts Anakin in the crucial last moments of the iconic Pod Race sequence, in which they race to the finish before the antagonistic Sebulba to win his freedom from slavery and become a Jedi Padawan!
Secure your special commemorative today as part of the Official Celebration of Star Wars Collection.
