I was 32 when I saw Phantom Menace -- it clearly was NOT meant for my demographic BUT it was marketed that way in the trailers for the film. The trailers NEVER showed Jar Jar bouncing around the screen. It was always pictures of the sabre fights, sith, space battles, etc. So that's why ppl got pissed when they when to see the movie.Jar jar binks -- yes, but he wasn't really the thing that annoyed me. Certainly, there would be naive ultra-friendly races in the universe. My thing was that the physics of the Jar Jar CGI looked cartoony - I never bought that Jar Jar was actually in the scene.Battle droids knees shake when they are "frightened"? WTF did some programmer code that in?midi-chlorians - The choice to scientifically explain away The Force was a real bummer. Why not simply observe his kick ass reactions in pod-racing and simply scout him as being a great jedi? Wasn't the gut-feeling enough? I didn't feel there was any value in adding this to the script, and it took away the mysteriousness of "The Force".

Maybe it is a joke?

Interesting. Is fan fiction going to give way to fan film as time goes on?

Meh... I'm a little disappointed. If they were going to make it slow they might as well build story while doing it. Atmosphere is one thing, drawing things out is completely different. I couldn't bring myself to watch the whole thing.Also, I'd like to comment on the over-use of the "close-up". I mean, wth. I know they could have come up with more/better camera angles than that.Great concept, horrible execution.

Couldn't watch it. The opening shots were just too long. Drama is not built with a 10 second upward pan.
