It makes the six (five) movies turn into a really nice fall and redemption arc for Anakin. You miss a few decent/important things in 1, like QGJ and a bit of the exposition that would be nice, but cut all the really painful stuff like Jar Jar and midichlorians. I'm aware of Machete Order. I was going to have my gf watch it that way but it turns out she's meh on the whole Star Wars thing (liked Rogue One, not so much ANH) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ataal Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Those are some good points, OP. Unfortunately, for me, Jar Jar and having a kid actor in the movie completely ruined what could have been an otherwise decent movie. I wish I had a more objective argument than that. I rewatched the movies this year. Kind of a Star Wars marathon thing. And, oddly, Jar Jar didn't annoy me as much this time around and I think I may know why. Context matters. At the time of the release of the movie, Jar Jar was freakin' everywhere. Toys, posters, commercials, and even people walking around talking like him for probably 6 months or longer. It was Frozen level bad. I'm sure some parents out there know what I mean by that. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hit it right with the N64 podracing game, but The Gungan Frontier was a Sim-Life esque game that never ended. I did the same thing and recently watched all of them, and you are correct, he isn't nearly as annoying as he was throughout the entirety of the prequel trilogy.

I can see that, it's probably a better fit there given it probably shouldn't be the 1st star wars movie. Rogue one leads directly into a new hope, like straight up the closest movie game between movies save for 7&8, probably would have more impact after 4 no doubt. Plus release order is king among all things, but fair point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KManX89 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Whoever's bright idea it was @ Lucas Film to not only come up with the laughing stock of a character known as JAR JAR BINKS, but to actually have him be in more of the film than the main antagonist: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume those listing it as pre-R1 are probably dead on, though I think someone else suggested viewing it post TFA to further salt the wound of Han's death which may not be a bad idea, either.

I dunno, as I said above, Ms Good Example liked it a lot despite it being her first movie. She enjoyed it more than ANH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission27 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Tbh I suspect some day Episode 1 will be viewed very favorably. Its like the On Her Majesty's Secret Service of the Star Wars movies. People couldn't handle the next level 3d chess of intergalactic diplomacy and jedi biochem, they were like BRING BACK THE CAMP, which Lucas did to a certain extent with attack of the clones. Some day people will realize Phanton M is among the best Star Wars movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
