You remember the phantom menace right?

That's why I'm cautious.
But, this looks so much better. No pointless sidekicks. No god awful child actors. Remove those elements, and Phantom Menace is a much better film.

Yeah, Jar Jar did some serious sinking of the movie, and the kid Anakin was just too annoying. It also got creepy with a 9 year old and a 14 year old making googly eyes, especially when the 9 year old had a 5 year old's mentality and the 14 year old was a queen who stood up to an invasion of her homeworld. Other than that, it wasn't terrible.
Anakin was meant to be nine in the Phantom Menace?!
Yup.
Anyone else planning to marathon the existing films to get back in the Star Wars groove? Thinking about trying the 4-5-1-2-3-6 order.
My 6 year old daughter has been watching them all on Now TV for the last few months since they have been on. Episode IV is on right now, and everyday she puts at least a short part of one of the films on.
It's been bloody brilliant!
