Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace had a star-studded cast when it was released in 1999, and it's interesting to consider how the movie might be different if it was recast today, 25 years later. The cast of The Phantom Menace was an excellent part of the movie, and many of the actors' performances have stood the test of time.

Qui-Gon Jinn Viewed as a maverick Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn was willing to learn from other Force traditions - and some of those lessons taught him how to retain his consciousness after death, becoming the first Force Ghost. Qui-Gon discovered Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine, recognizing him as the Chosen One, and swore to train the boy. This oath was passed to Qui-Gon's apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, after Qui-Gon was killed by Darth Maul.

Created By George Lucas Cast Bob Anderson , Hayden Christensen , James Earl Jones , Matt Lanter , Matt Lucas , Jake Lloyd , David Prowse , Sebastian Shaw First Appearance Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope Alliance Jedi, Sith That's a lot to ask of a child actor, but there's one star who would likely be up to the task. Jude Hill made his acting debut in 2021 in Belfast, and he quickly proved he was an exceptionally capable actor.

5 India Amarteifio as Padmé Amidala Originally Played By Natalie Portman Close Padmé Amidala is one of The Phantom Menace's most versatile roles, and also one of its most demanding. Since she was hiding her identity as the Queen of Naboo, the actor who portrays her would have to be able to convincingly play both royalty and a handmaiden. That alone would be difficult, but The Phantom Menace also saw some of Padmé's best outfits, and some of her hardest to wear.

Darth Maul Palpatine's apprentice, Darth Maul was nothing more than a tool to winnow down the ranks of the Jedi ahead of Darth Sidious' true plans. Discarded after he was defeated by Obi-Wan Kenobi on Naboo, Darth Maul swore revenge against all those he blamed for his past struggles - Jedi and Sith alike. Maul tended to operate within the shadows, running various syndicates, and even established himself as a true rival for Palpatine on at least one occasion.

With those qualifications in mind, Alan Tudyk fits the bill almost perfectly. He has extensive voice acting experience from a range of shows and movies, from I, Robot to Harley Quinn. Tudyk was also already introduced to the Star Wars galaxy, which gave him motion capture experience, in the role of K2-SO in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
