Fans wouldn't have to be over protective if the thing we are fans of wasn't constantly under attack at just the mention of the PT. Its this that has forced us to be "sensitive" about what we say and hear being said. I was 12 back when the movie was released and the only reason every single kid in my school even liked star wars was because of the huge, deep, action packed adventure that is TPM. If anything we were too busy wondering why the OT was so boring, had no jedi, no sith, had such stiff and slow action and was at times practically black & white. Im just saying.

Implying my post would some how make times hard is false,thinking the movie is ok and stating some facts is hardly Earth shattering. That whole statement is BS,it's an excuse sw zealots use so they can attack opinions they don't like.Nothings constantly under attack that;s just fan paranoia.Nothing forced you,you decided to be a tool on your own and continue to drive a wedge in the fan base. Your to extreme in your views and to close to the material to give a fare review or recollection of events.
obi-rob-kenobi4 posted: Don't try to tell me my own business. My recollection of events is just fine, for me a star wars movie was actually a happy event (image that! ). If anything your too hateful and bitter to give a fare review or recollection of events. I defend star wars when people ignorantly insult it so that somehow makes me a "tool driving a wedge in the fan base". HA! If anything its the hateful crowd that has been driving a wedge in the fan base since 1999. As a matter of fact they ARE the wedge.
Jedi Vince posted: I remember that if you really liked The Phantom Menace -- or if you engaged in a discussion of the film from a positive position -- you were some sort of Lucas apologist. So much of the film's criticism was extremely aggressive, and overly authoritative -- as if the film was horrible, and that was a fact. I really HATE to cite reviews or box office, but if you are to measure success of a film, I would say that around a $1 billion and mostly positive reviews puts the film in that category ... again, if one was so inclined to label a film in that manner. For me, the entire Phantom Menace experience was positive -- even if I did waste too many keystrokes over the years defending my point of view. Besides a couple shaky performances, I thought it was well crafted, multi-layered, presented a fresh take on the mythos, and set up the next two films very well.

I will never forget the first time I saw this film. Me and my friend did not sleep that night. We just talked about the movie all night long. That summer was awesome.
