LEGO Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

Says it all, the title does. A shortened version, this is. Note: Most minifigures I do not have, so a lot of role-playing there will be.

1. Introduces Qui-Gon Jinn (played by Bearded Endor Rebel Trooper), Obi-Wan Kenobi (played by Shaven Endor Rebel Trooper), Battle Droid (as itself), and See-Threepio playing Teesee-Fourteen.
Teesee-Fourteen: Oh, sorry! The viceroy...
Obi-Wan: It's an invasion army.
Qui-Gon: This is an odd play for the Federation. We've got to warn the Naboo and contact Chancellor Valorum.
Obi-Wan: You were right about one thing, Master. The negotiations were short.

2. Introduces Jar Jar Binks (as himself).
Jar Jar: Ah! Hep me! Hep me!
Qui-Gon: Get down!
(Droid vehicle passes them)
Jar Jar: Wasa dat? Hey, wait!

3.
Jar Jar: Excueese me, but day mosta safest place would be Gunga City. Tis where I grew up. Tis a hidden city.
Qui-Gon: A city? Can you take us there?
Jar Jar: Dis way! Hurry! Wesa going underwater, okeday? My warnin you, Gungans no liken outsiders, so don't 'spect a werm welcome.
Obi-Wan: Oh, don't worry. This hasn't been our day for warm welcomes.

4. Later...
Introduces Padmé (played by Leia), and the Naboo pilots (played by Naboo Fighter Pilot and A-Wing Pilot)
Jar Jar: Wesa made it!
Qui-Gon: I'm ambassador to the Supreme Chancellor.
Queen Amidala: Your negotiations seemed to have failed, Ambassador.
Qui-Gon: The negotiations never took place.
Captain Panaka: They've knocked out all our communications.
Qui-Gon: Do you have transports?
Captain Panaka: In the main hangar. This way.

5. Introduces Artoo-Detoo as himself.
Captain Panaka: The hyperdrive's broken. We'll need a new one.
Qui-Gon: That'll complicate things. Obi-Wan, stay here. Send no transmissions of any kind.
(They exit the ship)
Jar Jar: Dissa berry berry bad.
Captain Panaka: Wait! Her Highness commands to take her handmaiden with you.
Qui-Gon: No more commands from Her Highness today, Captain.
Captain Panaka: The queen wishes it. She's curious about the planet.
Qui-Gon: This is not a good idea. Stay close to me.

6. Introduces Anakin Skywalker (played by Luke [Tatooine]), and his master, Watto (played by Max Rebo).
Watto: [in Huttese] Boota da nolia. Hi chuba da naga? [Good day to you. What do you want?]
Qui-Gon: I need parts for a J-type 327 Nubian.
Watto: [in English] Ah yes, Nubian. We have lots of that.
Qui-Gon: My droid has a readout of what I need.
Watto: So, let me take thee out back, huh? Ni you'll find what you need. Here we are, a T14 hyperdrive generator. Saying of which, how's thee gonna pay for all this, huh?
Qui-Gon: I have 20,000 Republic dataries.
Watto: Republic credits? Republic credits are no good out here. I need something more real.
Qui-Gon: I don't have anything else, but credits will do fine.
Watto: No, they won't. What, you think you're some kind of Jedi, waving your hand around like that? Mind tricks don't work on me. Only money. No money, no parts, no deal! And no one else has a T14 hyperdrive, I promise you that!

7. Fortunately, Watto's slave, Anakin Skywalker, found out how to get the money--by winning a race!
Introduces Sebulba as himself, and Admiral Ackbar and Geonosian Warrior as the crashed racers.
(Anakin manages to get Sebulba to crash)
Anakin: I did it! Yeah!

8. Qui-Gon frees Anakin.
Watto: You swindled me! You knew the boy was going to win! Somehow you knew it!
Qui-Gon: Whenever you gamble, my friend, eventually you lose.
Watto: You can't have him! It wasn't a fair bet!
Qui-Gon: Would you like to discuss it with the Hutts? I'm sure they can settle this.
Watto: [sadly] Take him.

9. With the new hyperdrive installed, they can finally make it back.
Jar Jar: Wesa goin hooooome!
Anakin: Come on, Artoo!

10. The Battle of Naboo.
Introduces a Destroyer Droid and Darth Maul as themselves.
Anakin: Hey, wait for me!
Qui-Gon: Anakin, stay there. You're safe there.
Anakin: But I...
Qui-Gon: Stay in that cockpit!
(Darth Maul appears in the doorway)
Qui-Gon: We'll handle this.
Queen Amidala: We'll take the long way.
(A Destroyer Droid appears in front of them)
Anakin: We gotta do something, Artoo! (pushes a button) Oops, wrong one. Maybe it's this one. Yeah! (the Destroyer Droids get destroyed) (the ship takes off) It's on automatic pilot!

11. Elsewhere, Darth Maul is revealed to have a two-sided lightsaber...
Lyrics to Darth Maul's song, Duel of the Fates:

Korah Matah Korah Rahtahmah
Korah Rahtamah Yoodhah Korah
Korah Syahdho Rahtahmah Daanyah
Korah Keelah Daanyah
Nyohah Keelah Korah Rahtahmah
Syadho Keelah Korah Rahtahmah
Korah Daanyah Korah Rahtahmah
Korah Daanyah Korah Rahtahmah
Nyohah Keelah Korah Rahtahmah
Syadho Keelah Korah Rahtahmah
Korah
Korah Matah Korah Rahtahmah
Korah Daanyah Korah Rahtahmah
Nyohah Keelah Korah Rahtahmah
Syadho Keelah Korah Rahtahmah
Korah

12. The Queen's group isn't in a good situation...
Queen Amidala: Put down your weapons. They win this round.

13. But then, Darth Maul struck Qui-Gon down!
Obi-Wan: NOOOOOOO!

14. Jar Jar's part of the battle isn't going well either...
Battle Droid: Hands up!
Jar Jar: My give up. My give up!

15. I guess the Queen's part of the battle turned out good after all!
Introduces Viceroy Nute Gunray (played by Kithaba), Rune Haako and Daultay Dofine (played by Jabba's palace guards)
Viceroy Gunray: Your little insurrection is at an end, Your Highness. Time for you to sign the treaty and end this pointless debate in the Senate.
False Queen [played by Naboo Figter Pilot {Red}]: Viceroy! Your occupation here has ended!
Viceroy Gunray: After her! This one's a decoy!
Captain Panaka: Jam the doors!
Queen Amidala: Now, Viceroy, we will discuss a new treaty.

16. Obi-Wan's part of the battle isn't going well either...
Korah Daanyah Korah Rahtahmah...

17. Anakin's part was another victory!
Anakin: (fires missiles at the reactor) Let's get out of here! Now this is Podracing! (Anakin gets out in time for the base and the Battle Droids' controls blowing up)

18. Anakin's blowing up the controls caused something in Jar Jar's part of the battle...
Jar Jar: Weirdin. Wasa dey doin? Dey all broke-ed. (the Gungans cheer for victory)

19. But meanwhile, Obi-Wan used the Force to pull Qui-Gon's lightsaber to him and sliced Darth Maul in half!
Nyohah Keelah Korah Rahtahmah
Syadho Keelah Korah Rahtahmah
Korah!!!!!
Qui-Gon: No... It's too late... It's too...
Obi-Wan: No!
Qui-Gon: Obi-Wan... Promise me you'll train the boy... He will... bring balance... Train him! (dies)


20. Victory for the Queen, Panaka, the False Queen, Teesee-Fourteen, Jar Jar, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Artoo-Detoo, and... Boss Nass, the leader of the Gungans (played by Jabba's Palace Guard)!
Boss Nass: PEACE!
THE END.
