Star Wars: The Phantom Menace with Laura Brody, Jennifer May Nickel, and John Paul Nickel
In this special episode, Elizabeth and Spencer break down the unforgettable costumes of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. From the regal gowns and intricate headpieces of Queen Amidala, to the dark, menacing look of Darth Maul, the classic robes of the Jedi, and the humble beginnings of young Anakin Skywalker, we explore the costume design that helped shape an entire galaxy. To celebrate this milestone, we’re throwing a little Phantom Menace party! Joining us are special guests costume designer Laura Brody, costume designer Jennifer May Nickel, and writer/producer John Paul Nickel, who share their favorite (and maybe not-so-favorite) costume moments from this iconic film.
