We are in a time crunch and hey let’s just race around for a third of the movie. I cannot be the only one that thinks the thirty minutes of pod racing in the middle of Star Wars Episode I goes on for too long.

I’ll take Hayden’s version all day every day over Jake Lloyd’s. But for those of you that complain about how Hayden Christensen portrays the role of Anakin in Episodes II & III, just remember this little twerp in Episode 1. And I did like the fact that he built C-3PO. Like that will help.Īnyways, I do like the set up for him becoming Darth Vader. Not to mention he could have used the money he got to free his mom. He whines, he complains, he is full of himself - I could go on and on. OK, let me tell you, if my nine year old acted like a little turd like Anakin does, she would be grounded FOREVER. isn’t funny when he tries to be… I got over Jar Jar real quick. I try to give everything multiple chances but the way he speaks, and how he just…. He seems to get a little more bearable in his other two movies, but probably only because he is not in them as much. I know I am not alone in thinking that he is really annoying, especially in Star Wars Episode I. So, I suppose Star Wars did what they set out to do, and created a character that kids would like. I really didn’t think a character could be so annoying that I cringe when they come into a scene in a movie, but Jar Jar Binks is that character. WARNING: Spoilers ahead for Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace gives us a great set up for what is to come in the future with Anakin and Palpatine. This movie (sort of) kicks off the whole Skywalker Saga, and it does so well, despite it’s flaws. But a bad Star Wars movie is still a Star Wars movie - and you can’t go wrong with that. Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is not the best Star Wars movie. But is it a movie worth watching time and time again? Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is the first (or fourth) in the Skywalker Saga - depending on how you look at it. Star Wars is one of the biggest movie franchises, for good reason.
