I have to admit (even though I am huge SW fan) that the prequel trilogy (at least Phantom Menace and the Attack of the Clones, the "Revenge" was bearable) is horrible way of botching one of the best trilogy in the history of film making.
I will never watch the Phantom Menace same way again....

No worries.

Yeh, I know what you're saying. PM will never be the same to me.

Clone Wars and Revenge actually were decent films.

Mainly because they didn't have Anakin as a kid.

Phantom Menace was just poor and I hope Lucas carries shame for making that movie with him to the grave.

The guys right, it doesn't really make sense when you think about it.

Didn't think I would watch it all, but I did, pretty funny.

Ha, they showed PM on tv tonight

. I wishe they would do a MST3K version of the SW 1~3 movies. That review is spot on, though.

I don't think Lucas re-read the storyline before he did the other three movies. I found the whole thing funny, because I've been involved in the creative process before and experienced the same thing.

I could just see their planning meetings: George, jar-jar is totally stupid. George- he's my favorite character, and he's going in the film!

Lucas, please retire from filmmaking before you do any more damage.

Evil always triumphs, because good is dumb.

I'm just waiting for the remake of the first three films.
