I do have one problem with SW...

...and as you might've guessed it has to do with the Phantom Menace. Actually, not mine but the girl's.

Hyperdrive puts the whole galaxy at your fingertips; it takes only a few hours if that to get from anywhere to anywhere. The Galactic Republic is an administrative union of something like thousands to millions of worlds? The Jedi Council seems to have a decent sized budget.

So why the hell didn't they go to Coruscant and then have somebody go out to Tatooine and buy Anakin's mother from Watou (sp?)? I mean Jesus Christ, there's got to be more than plenty in discretionary accounts to free the mother of the chosen one from a backwater parts dealer. C'mon. What the f88k?

Attechment isn't allowed... Saving Anakin his mom would mean that they would favour Anakin and give him a chance to love something, something that he should not do. The Jedi should not care for her, not to mention that there are a lot of Jedi. You can't go and save every one of their parents just for the hell of it

why the heck do they have to buy his mother free?
it's not their job to go around and buy every slave and setting them free, their job is to listen to the senate and do what they ask...
if they don't ask them to free all the slaves, the jedi can't do it

Well they have to first get rid of Sith it's not safe to go with the Jedi she would be risking her life and they would have to protect her and it would interrut Anikans training and love life.

And he wouldn't have gone bad and no sequals so yeah and they have other buiness to take care of and Anikan could have gone back any time he wanted so yeah thats would be the answer to your question

Isn't it I/II/III/IV[/B}?

Anyhoo...when they take kids in for Jedi training they take them from their families. They don't allow any contact. I think it was in Star Wars KOTOR when they explained that...they are to leave their old lives behind no matter what.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that, after repeated viewing and 6 years to analyse it, I think that Episode I is the BEST Star Wars movie.

Really? How so? I definitely think people don't give it as mocu credit as it deserves, but I'd definitely not call it the best Star Wars film...

It's an incredible movie. One of my problems with the OT and the 2 other prequels in particular is that they seem "claustraphobic". You know you're just watching actors in a decorated studio. EPI just seems more "real" due to all the outdoor shots. I know this might not seem like much of a case but it also has much more depth than the other movies and in Liam Neeson it certainly has the best acting performance of the prequels. It's also got the best sabre fight, the best villain and the pod racing scene (Which bored me at first) is an amazing spectacle. Not forgetting the final battle on Naboo. It's a beautiful film and, in time, it will be much better received by everyone.

I agree with pretty much everything you said. It does have a more 'open' feel. And one of the reasons I like this film is that it is shot on film not digital like the other prequels. Shooting on film, I think, gives it more realism.

What I don't dig much about it is how it is directed so much towards kids. It has many childish moments.

I don't care much for the pace of this film. At parts it is quite boring. The Pod Race is a real low point - it feels pointless, like it's there just for show, which it is really.

darht dude yr a ****ing retard it rocks

I love TPM, it is the one I watch most often now.

Takes one to know one buddy...

It's a great film. Unlike II & III it takes it's time to tell the story. There's no sense of "Shit, let's explain the jedi ghosts and the twins etc before the 2 hours runs out". Possible faults? Maybe instead of the podrace they could have had a big chase scene with Darth Maul but that's about it. AND I found Jar Jar to be funny.
