OK, Episode I wasn't a bad idea on paper, it was a bad idea as a finished product. They had the most Obnoxious kid playing Anikin, they had Jar Jar, who disgusted me, and should have been a wild animal considering his intelligance level was lower than that of an Ewok(I take that back, ewoks are poretty smart), in fact the only hing that madeup for Jar Jar's stupidity in the theatrical release was the Bonus Disc in the Episode I DVD set.
The other problem was the fact that Qui-gon's charcter was just used to fill some scenes, when he could have been mch more usuful in an early part of Episode II.
The pod-racing was cool, but it could have been a little more interesting.
Personally I just didn't like Episode I, and I felt the same way about the last "Star TREK" movie, which was released around the same time as SW: TPM. However it seems, just from the previews, that Episode II: AOTC will be much better than Episode I:TMP. There aren't any previews yet for the new Star Trek Movie, but everything I'm reading about it makes it sound better than the last Star Trek movie as well. I guess if LucasFilm and Parmount are trying to compete, they're sort of having a boxing match, one releases a mediocore movie, and the other counters with their own mediocore movie, one releases a potential-blockbuster, and the other gets a writer from "gladiator" to write there movie. (The new Star Trek movie will be written by John Logan, who co-wrote "Gladiator"). It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out, now if onlyI could find some more Star Wars and Star Trek Ships, oh well, at least KB Toys never re-stocks there shelves, and they've managed to have three Millenium Falcon Micro-Machines, a Qui-Gon Jinn lightsaber, and on the Star Trek Side, two Jem'Hadar dolls, and two Tuvok Dolls. Oh well, at least this summer I can add the new Starship Enterprise NX-01 to my Star Trek toy collection, even though a new company has the lisence, good news is that there are no more Decals to put ont he ship (they loved to peel off of the old ones), and their will be no visible screws on the exterior, so you won't have a ship that looks like it was bolted together with "21st Century screws", but only the sleek lines of the toy itself. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go annoy the people at Art Asylum's website to make more "Star Trek" ships, specifically the U.S.S. Equinox, and the U.S.S. Prometheus, which other fans are trying to force them into building as well. I still haven't found a way to contact Hasbro, to ask them if they're making SW:AOTC Micro Machines, I want a Mini_Jedi Starfighter, that design Kicks @$$.
