These are on the Star Wars DVD, but I thought they were worth bringing up, as Phantom Menace is in theaters. Six commercials, each a small poem narrated by a character, emphasizing who they are.

Darth Maul: Fear


Queen Amidala: Will


Anakin Skywalker: Dream


Shmi Skywalker: Love


Qui Gon Jinn: Destiny


Personally, the Love commercial is my favorite of them.

I'd have to agree. Especially for the use of Shmi's "theme" (I guess it was hers, anyway) that starts at around 0:36 and you hear only a snippet of. I really like that piece of music and it's a shame it was so underused.

Hell, it totally made buying the Ultimate Edition TPM soundtrack just so I could get the full version for myself. :D

MAN!!! The fucking Maul one still gives me fucking chills! :D

Such a wasted character. Maul antagonizing and taunting Obi-Wan and Anakin for two more movies would have been so much better than Dooku and Greivous. :(

I think the Dream one actually makes Jake Lloyd's reading works, as it's Anakin asking the audience, with the naivety the character is supposed to have, while the images are showing that he is in for a surprise and it the question hanging in the air.
