Well, I loved the Phantom Menace so much, that I saw it four times in the theater. (Five if you count the recent 3D re release.) So it was a surprise to me, when up to the day I went to see it, everyone I ran into who saw it, loved it. Then a year afterwards, I hear people bashing Phantom Menace.

Anyway, seeing it in 3D was no different than seeing it in 2D, but doesn’t matter. I had a great time watching PM on the big screen again! I just wish the next movies were coming out sooner. I don’t think I can contain myself.

As a huge fan of the original trillogy I’m sad to say I’d never seen the phantom menace untill last tuesday. while its not the greatest Star Wars film I really enjoyed it. The best part for me was being able to take my kids for a big screen Star Wars experience. My daughter hid under my coat from Darth maul and cried when Qui Gon died. her little brother was so excited by the pod race, he escaped my girlfriends lap and ran towards the screen cheering. The next 5 in 3D cant come soon enough for us. Thank you Mr Lucas!!!!!!!!!!!!

When i first saw episode one I had the perspective most people didn’t, I didn’t really know all that much about the older movies. My dad had been meaning to show me the older movies, but we just never got to it. i went to see tpm, and I was instantly hooked. I think the reason a lot of people disliked this movie was because of the fact that it tried to get new people interested in star wars by telling a much lighter and happier story and telling it in a way that connected with children. Although i will admit it’s not my favorite star wars movie, it still has the brilliance and creativity you can only find in a star wars movie.

I think the greatest moment for me was the first time they showed Darth Maul’s lightsaber in the trailer. The blade came out of the hilt, and then ANOTHER blade came out of the bottom of the hilt!

A DOUBLE-ENDED LIGHTSABER???!!!!

My brain almost exploded form the possibilities! I cannot tell you how many times I rewatched that trailer online. (This was during the days of dial-up, so it was quite a commitment with all of the buffering!)

In 1999 I was like 11-12 yrs old in 7th Grade. I belive I went and saw it with my older cousin. I had already had the Sequales 4-6 and watched them but it wasn’t until Ep. 1 that I say “OOOO Now that makes sense.” Darth Vader was the first Character I ever liked and watching him grow as a Jedi in 1-3 was just amazing! Knowing why Anakin turned to the dark side and why he become Vader it was a awesome story all be it a tradic one it was still awesome. Plus how can you not mention Jar Jar he made the hole movie! I do however agree with Chris Jericho killing of Maul wasn’t cool! He (other than Vader) was the best Bad Guy threwout the Star Wars Saga’s!

I knew all along that Darth Maul is still alive even after he was cut in half by Obi-Wan in the film.

Naw, Darth Maul wasn’t that cool. Darth Vader was the most powerful Jedi. He had the most mediclorians of any Jedi ever. Even though he wasn’t a Jedi master, he was an even more powerful Jedi then they were.

There were some that even admitted to this. Even emporer Palpatine told Yoda that Darth Vader would be a more powereful Jedi then the both of them.

I just assumed Yoda was the most powerful Jedi until Lucas came out with the Pre-quil. Haha.

The reason Darth Vader lasted all six episodes is because I even seen an interview on TV with George Lucas one time, and he just flat out said that the Star Wars story was about Darth Vader.
