Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, and Star Wars viewers are being treated to a lightsaber even cooler than Darth Maul’s to honor the momentous occasion. Star Wars has already announced that its celebration of The Phantom Menace’s quarter-century birthday will include the movie’s brief return to theaters on May 4, 2024, otherwise known as Star Wars Day. However, the franchise isn’t stopping there; the anniversary of the movie will also tie into one of Star Wars’ upcoming TV shows, Star Wars: The Acolyte.
