This Day In History - May 19, 1999

The Star Wars franchise is expanded with the premiere of Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. Personal note: This is my least favorite Star Wars flick, however, Darth Maul might be the second coolest Star Wars villain of all time. He had barely any lines at all, but was an awesome antagonist. That doesn't make up for the terribleness of Jar Jar Binks though...
