Re: Just watched "Phantom Menace" DVD and I'm blown away...

I agree with you completely. The first time I saw it, it lacked.......I don't know, something. Jar Jar shyted me, to say the least, and Queen (16yo)Amidala - who'd elect a teenager to rule a planet?? But the more I see it, the better it gets. I think what Lucas had in mind was to present the evolution of the Star Wars universe from a bright & semi-happy democracy, to an evil & brutal dictatorship. I don't think any judgement should be passed until we see the series evolve from episode I, to the end of episode III and into episode IV.

On the Jar Jar side of things, the more I watch the film the more he becomes part of the universe. Now, the only thing that gives me the shytes in this film is the totally unnecessary scene before the podrace, where Jar Jar is farted on by some animal. What is the point??
