STAR WARS: EPISODE I — THE PHANTOM MENACE (1999) 8 p.m. on TNT. Galactic trade negotiations. Jar Jar Binks. Midichlorians. This first entry in George Lucas’s “Star Wars” prequel trilogy isn’t the most beloved in the series. But if there were ever an ideal time to revisit the movie, now is it: “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” in theaters this weekend, puts a cap on a nine-part story line of which “Phantom Menace” is the first chapter. Among the characters whose origins are touched on here is Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid), the archetypal cloaked evil leader who has been absent from more recent “Star Wars” movies but makes a heavily teased return in “The Rise of Skywalker.”

GLOBAL CITIZEN PRIZE 8 p.m. on NBC. Jennifer Hudson will be on big screens on Friday in the new “Cats” movie.
