A New Hope Vs. The Phantom Menace

Which "first" Star Wars film did you enjoy the most? Mine was The Phantom Menace all hands down! What about you guys? 😎

The Phantom Menace, because Darth Maul and Qui Gon are awesome

ehh what has this to do with the title of the thread

A new hope cos I was 8 and it still sticks in my mind as one of the best trips to the cinema

can compare any OT with the new stuff, the OT was good the new ones aint

The purpose of this topic is to get posters to compare the two films and choose their favorite. Only these two films are being considered in this discussion. 😎

then TPM dont stand a snowballs chance in hell
Star Wars was awesome PM was surprisingly weak

Does anyone wish to argue with that observation? I won't.

I'll argue, TPM has way more action and it's newer. I guess I just like it better because im younger then some people here.

Yes I should have anticipated this would be debated from an age standpoint. The older guys are for the original, the younger guys are for TPM. Of course I like them both. Go figure.

i like both. But i like PM better. This started the whole story. Well, you know what i mean.

Yes understood.

This showed us how it all started. and for QGJ how it ended.

Qui Gon rocks. 🤘

Qui Gon Jinn was to me the best thing about The Phantom Menace. He served the same function as Old Obi Wan Kenobi did in A New Hope.

Exactimundo!

Yes the mentor who trains his student then dies at the moment his pupil comes of age so to speak. 🙂

yeah, Qui Gons my favorite character in TPM too.

All the jedis were good at acting.

I say Qui Gon is the only reason we can call it a Star Wars film. Everything was just too different.
