The Phantom Menace

Right, part one of the mission has been completed. Having seen The Phantom Menace again last night, a few things struck me. What was all the fuss about? There’s nothing wrong with that film except for Jar-Jar Binks and a bit of an annoying tendency to include what Lucas thinks we want to see when perhaps he would benefit from being a bit truer to his own principles. Even this can be justified if you look at it from a certain point of view, namely that of the Jedi and the need for them to fight to protect even the most irritating and oafish citizens, like him. The thing I do like is the way you can really see Anakin's character developing in this trilogy, in a way you didn't see Luke's develop in the original
