1080p, possibly. Maybe 7.1.
For the story? No. I always hated how little is actually done in the movie. The graphics at the time were mind-blowing. Now, they look cheap.

Not really. Well, only for the pod races.
I can't remember being more excited for a film...I saw it 3 times in theaters with my friends--and that was nothing, compared to other people I know--and I think it was just the excitement of Star Wars being back that made us all blind to how much it sucked. Jar Jar Binks is the worst character created in the history of film. The veil was completely lifted in Episode II, and I could no longer pretend that this had anything to do with eps 4-6.
But yeah, it was exciting when it came out...
Darth Maul was badass. Other than that . . .![]()
First time I saw it, the pod races were the tiest part of the movie imo. I think Darth Maul and the fact that it was Star Wars is what really gave me a boner when I watched it.
Obviously the movie is , but I bet 90% of us left the theater the first time thinking "BADASS HOLY I'M GONNA GO SEE IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!"
I was still excited about Episode II, but that movie experience was totally different. I knew what I was seeing was total crap from the start, and only the gimmick of seeing Yoda kick Dooku's ass saved that for me.
and even if Revenge Of The Sith was "better", it still sucked. And it gave us all the worst moment in Star Wars history. Worse than dancing Ewoks or Greedo shooting first or Jar Jar Binks or Jake Lloyd or anything else.
The Worst Moment In Star Wars History
Please tell me this is a joke...perhaps I'll skip this one afterall...
Oh yeah. They take one of the greatest, most badass villains of all time, and turn him into a crying emo pussy.
The worst thing about it is that the build up to that point was actually the coolest part of the movie. And then . . . Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
It's a predictable, even necessary scene -- but it is so horribly directed it does make for one of the most anticlimactic scenes in film history. I'm sure it was some kind of tribute to Frankenstein, but damn, all it did was provide a humorous counterpoint to Christensen's overacted angst in two movies.
And how did they make Vader evil?
He killed kids.
talk about lazy ass writing
I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
now that we have the technology to loop dvds we can loop princess leia in her slave outfit
amiright?
Meh, not really. Though, I was already pretty disillusioned with Lucas/the franchise after seeing the updated versions of the original trilogy in theaters.
I thought Darth Maul was pretty cool, and am a sucker for the sound of lightsabers, but I was fairly disappointed with The Phantom Menace even during that first viewing. The somewhat cheesy charm of the original trilogy, and the strength of its actors (particularly Ford and Fisher), made up for Lucas' shortcomings as a director and writer. The new trilogy, however, fully exposed him. The writing is laughable in all three films, and the acting is just atrocious -- even by otherwise good actors, which places the blame on Lucas. And let's not even get started on ing Jar Jar.
I like the final battle in Phantom Menace, other than that it was dog . Revenge of the Sith was pretty good, loved the fight scene between Yoda and the Emperor.
"Well, here's Jon Voight's ball sack..."
ing hilarious.
Meesah say George Lucas.
+1
or how it turned out the ability to use the force is purely genetic.

If I was born with the force, I'd hardly care about universal domination. I'd probably use the force for practical jokes.
Wasn't that implied before? It was fleshed out awkwardly, but the premise was there.
I hated Jar Jar initially, but I pulled a 180 and decided he was awesome. He sums up Lucas pretty well imo.
yeah, it was vaguely implied in ROTJ...
but even then, I figured everyone had a shot at using the force, just some could use it better than others.
