Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace is the official adaptation in comic book form, of the motion picture The Phantom Menace. Its weekly release spanned from May 5, 1999 until May 26, 1999.
The storyline of the comic closely mirrors the occurrences in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, chronicling the journey of two Jedi Knights as they become entangled in a commercial disagreement and ultimately encounter the individual prophesied as the Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker, on their mission to liberate Naboo. The comic incorporates certain dialogue fragments that were omitted from the movie's final cut, for example, Dofine's frantic exclamation "Blind me, we're done for!" and Darth Sidious' initial words to Dofine. Furthermore, Darth Maul is given additional lines of dialogue near the story's conclusion. With the exception of these few additions, the comic remains remarkably faithful to the film.
