Listen to the show and come and terms with one of the most embarrassing cousins in the Star Wars family. The choreography of the lightsaber duels was mesmerizing! The costumes were gorgeous! And there’s more. The soundtrack, by John Williams was awesome (as usual). It has some redeeming qualities stuff that sometimes gets overshadowed by the likes of Jar Jar. We tried to be fair in our “re-examination”, by highlighting not only the exceedingly bad and the tremendously ugly aspects of Star Wars Episode 1, but the good stuff too. And even if we find it embarrassing and don’t have anything in common, because we’re way more mature, we have learned to accept it as kin. Though we don’t love it, love it, it’s still apart of the larger picture-apart of the family. Nevertheless Angela and I have managed a sort of “cordiality” with Star Wars Episode 1 and over the years, we have been able to find a number of little things that we can say we like about it. I should have started by saying that we WANTED to love this movie, but alas it was a relationship that would never ever work…we just couldn’t see eye to eye.

It would have been a gripe fest and we’ve all heard those before. If we didn’t give ourselves that time, our discussion about Star Wars Episode 1 would not have been a discussion at all. But Angela and I needed some distance from it-we needed time to “heal” ). We could have covered Episode 1 on our podcast, a long time ago…. The final product just didn’t measure up to the Star Wars we knew and loved, and the disappointment was visceral.

It wasn’t the film we were promised in the tantalizing trailers and compelling movie posters. These issues deepened the love-hate relationship many fans had with “The Maker”, George Lucas, after he “remastered” the original trilogy. After much anticipation, Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace was released in theaters and Star Wars fans have been ranting ever since due to poop jokes, Jar Jar Binks, midichlorians and a laundry list of other disenchanting factors. In 1999 we felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced….
