Review of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) by Janelle S — 04 Jan 2018
When I first watched this movie when it came out, I think a lot of it went over my head, all the politics aspect of it. However, now that I'm older, especially this past year, I've gone and watched all the prequel movies and find them entertaining.
I get them now, and they (episode 1-6) all fit into a whole, complete awesome. I wish Episode 1 had made Anakin a little older, maybe pre-teen, cut down the podracing a little, add more Darth Maul and light saber duels.
Less Jar Jar - or at least change his voice up so it's not so annoying, then he'd probably be a little more tolerable. I do like that Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan constantly rag on Jar Jar though. I like Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, Padme.
.......little Anakin was good too, but I just wish they had made him a little older, maybe make both him and padme the same age (14).
