I dunno if I've even rewatched Phantom Menace in the last two decades but my memories really start (sans droideka intro) from Tatooine. With Maul tracking the jedis who then discover Anakin. Qui-Gon talking to Shmi about his lineage, taking a midicholorian count, Ben disagreeing about training... about Anakin working as a slave for Watto, then of course the introduction of Sebulba, pod racing, and pit droids. Then the pod race itself happens and after that I lose track of the story.

I remember finding Jar Jar, going into the water to the Gungan city, and Jar Jar being reviled with gungans wanting to be left alone. My mind then just skips ahead to the jedis and Jar Jar taking a ship through the water and getting chased by a fish and from here I'm lost again.

... the rest of my memory is in complete scraps. Amidala exists and she has doubles? Is that involved in this or am I confused from the distinction of Padme and Amidala identities I dunno. All I remember of Naboo is a fight breaking out and Anakin driving in a starfighter with R2 and I believe Padme is nearby. I think this is close to the big overall battle with Naboo united with the Gungans against the droid army? With their water ball trebuchets and all that... and I guess the Maul/Qui-Gon/Kenobi fight happens around this time? Which yes I do remember with the waiting behind beam doors, Qui-Gon dying, Kenobi slipping on a ledge and force jumping back up and cutting down Maul. Then um.... there's a celebration with Naboo at the end right? Kinda similar to RotJ

I actually just opened Disney+ and skimmed through and wow I didn't realize Jar Jar's from the start whoops well anyways that's my recollection and I kinda wanna do that rewatch I've held off forever. I paused the Disney+ skim as soon as I saw it starts with Jar Jar lmao

I know I have had rewatches of AotC because of how much I kept sleeping through it so I wanted to some idea of the full movie and I still don't remember much.... maybe I'll do a "what I remember from AotC" post too
