I am interested in his arguments, as I enjoy his Star Wars RPG. I am not using those forums much besides role-playing, perhaps I am making a mistake? I would enjoy your arguments too.
I think that the first mistake was making Anakin a child in TPM. He shouldn`t have destroyed the Trade Federation ship in such a clumsy way. I see him as teenager that has much anger into him because of his life as slave. Romance would have worked much better if it started in TPM. Anakin would fight in the Naboo battle because of choice, as Luke. And he would not be a whiny brat in AOTC, more of a dark hero.
TPM should have been a bit more serious, there would be no problem with Jar-Jar if his time was reduced to serve the story. My girlfriend thinks Gungans are the coolest thing in PT.

That was the mistake I think. I always liked SW because you kinda fell in the middle of things... The universe had a history, it felt grounded in reality. TPM has nothing of that... too bad...
I wish TPM had started like it was THE BEGINNING of something.
It just felt like youd missed a few chapters.
I was looking at this before..i know we all know it by heart but i got to paste it(with a bit of tinkering)...........i mean cmon....what was Lucas smoking???

This tinkering with the script is a laugh
LUKE
Vader. Is the dark side stronger?
YODA
No... no... no. Quicker, easier,
more seductive.
LUKE
But how am I to know the good side
from the bad?
YODA
You will know. When you are calm,
at peace. Passive. A Jedi uses
the Force for knowledge and
defense, never for attack.
LUKE
Yeah but more importantly will it help
me score chicks?
Any chance of a script tinkering thread????
