For millennia, these two religious groups had been at war with each other over their principles and ideology and the reign of Siths were finally over. The Galactic Republic was formed with the alliance of the independent star systems of the galaxy and they were represented by a Senator from each system to the Republic Senate. The Siths learned to be tricky in order to rise again and a new Sith Lord by the name of Darth Sidious even managed to gain means to manipulate the Senate as he sees fit.
The Phantom Menace
Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his trainee Obi-Wan Kenobi go for a negotiation with the Trade Federation and they try to kill the Jedi as Darth Sidious advises them to. These two not only survives the surprise attack but also managed to flee to Naboo, where they met an outcast Jar Jar Binks running from battle droids. Queen Padmé Amidala is rescued and was escorted by the Jedi to Coruscant but as their ship took damage, they are forced to land on the desert planet of Tatooine. Qui-Gon discovers little slave Anakin Skywalker and senses his strong bond with The Force.
After managing to earn his freedom from his master Watto, Anakin tags along with Qui-Gon Jinn bidding his mother goodbye. Just as they were about to leave Tatooine, Sith Lord Darth Maul attempts to kidnap the queen but Qui-Gon outsmarts him in a short fight. When Padmé safely reaches to Coruscant, Senator Palpatine tries to convince her to replace the current Chancellor Valorum with someone more capable. Qui-Gon takes Anakin to the Jedi Council and asks permission to train him but seeing potential of the boy turning to The Dark Side, the Council refuses.
Despite the Jedi Council being hesitant to take the boy as a Jedi Padawan, Qui-Gon Jinn decides to train young Anakin anyway. Sneakingly taking a starfighter, Anakin slips through the hangar and incapacitates the droid army by blowing up the Federation's Droid Control Ship all by himself. Darth Sidious sends his apprentice Darth Maul after Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in the middle of the invasion on Naboo. Qui-Gon dies battling Maul and afterwards, Obi-Wan eventually managed to kill the latter by bisecting him before taking Anakin as his apprentice to become a Jedi.
