Podcasts about trade federation

“You were the chosen one!” Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam & Megs (Kev's off-planet this week, likely negotiating with the Trade Federation) – as we ignite our lightsabers, spin into some space politics, and plunge into the dark side for our 270th episode covering Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005). We're trading poisoned apples for Order 66 and flying headfirst into the fall of Anakin Skywalker as we discuss: Whether Revenge of the Sith sticks the landing for the prequel trilogy—or crashes harder than General Grievous' escape pod. Does the film finally deliver the emotional payoff the prequels promised? Is Anakin's fall convincing… or did he turn to the dark side over some bad dreams? Why does the reason for Anakin's turn seem inconsistent in this one Are Restie award winners, Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman any better this go around or is a back-to-back a likely result? We talk about our philosophical stances and what happens when 2 of them crash into each other? Which Jedi we'd most likely be – and who's clearly the Palpatine of the group Is this film secretly the best prequel—or just the least clunky one? Where does the Anakin/Obi Wan light saber fight fall in the history of duels in Star Wars? Speaking of gripes – was Padmé done dirty by giving her nothing to do? Does George Lucas understand love? We ask how Order 66 compares to another major franchise's big emotional disaster Whether Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith is the Best Film Ever.

Economists are geeks. Star Wars parallels are tempting: US President Trump as the Trade Federation leader; Trump's largest donor Musk as Chancellor Palpatine, railing against bureaucrats; and economists as Jedi Knights. But threatened US trade taxes have real consequences. Investors' hope is the precedent of Trump's rapid retreat from taxing Colombian imports.

I return to the studio this weekend to continue running down all of the weird and destructive actions of the current administration, and some of the ramifications and fallout of those terrible decisions. Let's get right into another thought provoking episode.

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, this week with special guests Luke Dunne and Alex Towers, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every second Saturday at 6pm GMT, with the occasional bonus episode between them. This week, George Lucas' Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. A republic in decline finds itself slipping into fascism in the midst of a public dispute over trade tariffs. When Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi are dispatched to resolve the Trade Federation blockade of the peaceful world of Naboo, they begin an epic adventure that will bring them to the sands of Tatooine, where Qui-Gon encounters a strange young boy that he is convinced as the power to bring balance to the force: Anakin Skywalker. At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best or worst movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.

Welcome aboard Kyber Squadron! This week, Andrés simplifies the incoming adiminstration's trade war tariffs using the Trade Federation and Pyke Syndicate as a way to understand the potential impacts of the economic plans that the Emperor wants to implement.

What if Padmé Stayed?Recently we celebrated the 25th Anniversary of Episode I: The Phantom Menace! This set John to ask Matt to ask an unexpected “what if” about the story: What if Padmé had taken Palpatine's advice and stayed on Coruscant to allow the Trade Federation to maintain their control of Naboo?

Is Star Wars art or just more content? As Star Wars continues to thrive as a Disney franchise, can it maintain any artistic integrity, or was it always simply another product in the marketplace? We explore these questions and more, including: The transition from George Lucas's vision to Disney's corporate ownership. The impact of capitalism on artistic endeavors within the Star Wars universe. Whether the new era of Star Wars can still produce meaningful–even subversive–art.

Met with ambivalence by most, genuine revulsion by others upon its initial release in the summer of 1999, the film (and the prequel trilogy more broadly) have seen a continued reappraisal, especially in the era of so many soulless Disney-era Star Wars productions. The Phantom Menace is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary with a recent limited re-release on IMAX screens. On this episode, we make a case for the film not just as comparatively good, but a genuinely excellent entry in the Star Wars canon.We discuss the film's place within the the decade-spanning saga as well as its position within the film landscape of the era - how it pushed the boundaries of digital effects integration, and signaled (in non-alarmist terms) an evolving style of blockbuster filmmaking. Then, we talk about the film's narrative highs and lows, and share our thoughts on the critical points of 25 years of criticism: Midi-chlorians, Jar Jar Binks, Jake Lloyd, Watto and more. Finally, we praise the film's many incredible formal qualities - its relationship to Lucas's early student films visual experiements, The Phantom Menace's debt to classic cinema greats like Kurosawa and Douglas Sirk, and the brilliance of the film's multi-phase finale, cross-cutting between four different theaters of action seamlessly.Follow Neil Bahadur on Twitter and LetterboxdWatch 'The Beginning: Making Start Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace'Watch '1:42:08 To Qualify', George Lucas's 1966 short film....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.

One last round of Star Wars. Just one more podcast/Youtube video discussion about all of the Star Wars movies in REAL chronological order is what the world needs right now. We're calling this months theme, “FORCED”. The Star Wars nostalgia well has run pretty dry for us the last several years so we decided one more heartfelt examination and, seriously, we will probably never watch these movies ever again. Maybe if a child relative comes along and asks us to watch Star Wars with them then we may oblige but this hypothetical child relative could grow up to kill all of their friends and help turn the galaxy into a totalitarian nightmare so maybe we would have to stand our ground. That said, we're 2/3rds through George Lucas's prequel trilogy about the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker with the 2002 blockbuster “STAR WARS: EPISODE II - ATTACK OF THE CLONES”. All of those vague references of the past in the original trilogy are getting brought to life and now we know that the clones from “The Clone Wars” are actually an army of castrato Boba Fetts. The Trade Federation are still at it and they got the Hammer Horror Dracula calling the shots. Let's not forget that this is, supposedly, a love story. It's not as much of a charisma vacuum as the last film but the passion still seems dissonant. Maybe it's all the Skywalker whining. They definitely upped the lightsaber game in this one for all the nerds who said their lives were over because of Jar Jar Binks. What's funny is that those people will always buy the tickets. Every time. Let's get into the clone zone.

This week we get in our time capsule and travel back to 1999 to discuss Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace! Released 16 years after the conclusion of the original trilogy, this epic space opera kicks off the Skywalker Saga, following a Jedi Master and his apprentice as they work to save the planet of Naboo from the Trade Federation, who are being manipulated by an eerily familiar dark figure. Starring Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Jake Lloyd, Ian McDiarmid, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Pernilla August, and Frank Oz, this film grossed a whopping $924 million in it's initial theatrical run... But Is Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace Good? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This we we get to discuss The Phantom Menace.

We're joined by playwright and all-around creative ANDY BOYD to discuss his play, THE TRADE FEDERATION, OR, LET'S EXPLORE GLOBALIZATION THROUGH THE STAR WARS PREQUELS. A young experimental playwright named Andy Boyd pitches George Lucas his screenplay for a new Star Wars film. The concept: a prequel to the prequels that fleshes out the economic and social implications of the mysterious Trade Federation. Andy's script is a full-on Marxist allegory where The Trade Federation is The International Monetary Fund, the Gungans are the Zapatistas, and the Jedi are an international community reluctant to push for any real structural change – the UN, basically. Lucas thinks the movie sounds really boring and unceremoniously kicks Andy out of his office. Then things really get weird. This episode will be especially up your alley if leftist politics or leftist theater is your thing!

Today we begin our journey with the insanity that is the prequel trilogy. Over the past 20 years a lot has been said about young Anakin, Jar Jar Binks, and the Trade Federation. It seems as though some are even starting to love this movie. Should it be reevaluated? Is it a secret masterpiece?

The Star Wars Prequels have enjoyed a huge resurgence in popularity in recent years, with the kids who grew up with then becoming adults and a brand new generation discovering them. This week we take a look at Episode I The Phantom Menace, George Lucas' return to both writing and directing. Following the adventures of Qui-Gon Jinn, Queen Amidala, Jar Jar Binks and sort of Obi-Wan Kenobi they tackle taxation in the form of the Trade Federation along with Darth's Sidious and Maul. It's a mixed bag no doubt but not without it's redeeming qualities.

Nothing is certain in Star Wars, except death and taxes. Okay maybe not death… Anywho, get the skinny on taxes in a galaxy far far away from the Trade Federation blockade of Naboo to Jabba the Hutt's bath water. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thestarwarsskinny/message

A galactic conflict is escalated after negotiations between a Trade Federation and two peacekeeping space wizards known as Jedi fail before they can begin. After being marooned on a desert planet, the two Jedi and the royal party they rescued, find a human boy with unknown power whom they believe could be a prophecy and bring balance to the mystic force. Surely nothing can go wrong when you gamble on people's lives, ignore safeguards or jump headfirst into a conflict that seems out of place for a group of cowards…

Tony and Johanna take a look back at The Phantom Menace and try to view it through a positive lens. In this movie review/podcast they will talk about all the things that make it good like Darth Mauls amazing lightsaber skills, the new world and creatures made by George Lucas, and how its not a cynical cash grab like Disney's new movies. Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) is a young apprentice Jedi knight under the tutelage of Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) ; Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd), who will later father Luke Skywalker and become known as Darth Vader, is just a 9-year-old boy. When the Trade Federation cuts off all routes to the planet Naboo, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are assigned to settle the matter.Edited by Jessica Hickson

Welcome back to the Illumination.  This week, Florida told Texas to hold its beer, and Disney told queer Fans their money is worth more than their lives. Corporations gonna corporate, and this is why the Trade Federation should never have had a seat in the Galactic Senate.

It's never a good day to be a Neimoidian, but especially not in “Assassin” (The Clone Wars Season 3.7) and “Sphere of Influence” (3.4). As we carefully unpick the convoluted chronology of The Clone Wars' third season, we see Ahsoka thwarting Aurra Sing (again), Senator Chuchi achieving legendary BAMF status (again), and the dream team making fools out of the entire Trade Federation. This is officially an Ahsoka-Padmé-Chuchi fan club and we are not sorry about it. Watching along with us? Next week, we're recapping “Arc Troopers” (The Clone Wars Season 3.2). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/growingupskywalker/message
