This was one of the biggest hypes in movie history... and for kids it rocked! But as we all grow older, we seem to see past our childish fantasies and dreams and tend to be more critical. When it came to the "Phantom Menace," these truths were brought to life in the most disturbing way: Jar Jar Binks, baby Anakin, and a naked C-3PO? WTF! Besides the only two things that kicked ass in the film (Liam Neeson and Darth Maul), the rest of the movie was an unnecessary, over-drawn prequel that was better left to the imagination. We all knew who the F Anakin was, we all knew Obi-Wan could kick Sith ass, we AAAALLL KNEW SIDIOUS WAS PALPATINE!!!! Thanks George, you still hold the saber that killed our childhood love of Star Wars and our intelligence. Only the original films can be respected and remembered for what they really were: perfect.
AND THE FORCE IS JUST THE FORCE..... PERIOD!!!!!!!
