Review of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) by Astria C — 22 Dec 2017

Say what you will about Jar Jar, the movie is beautiful. The locales, the characters, the vastness it adds to the Star Wars universe is worth far more to our beloved galaxy far, far away than any one individual character.

I hate that some bad lines and less-than-perfect characters are enough to relegate this wonderful trilogy to the pile as mediocre. I love this movie, have seen it several times and never once understood why people hold quite so much antagonism toward it.
