I once used 'hyper-bowl' with genuine comedic intent in spoken conversation only to be frequently accused of incorrectly pronouncing it through ignorance by the better half ever since :-D

Such is life.

It really should be called a Star Bowl.

Oh great, you're going to get skyjedi going again...

The film was sadly lacking in CGI gophers.

Frink can arrange that.

Uh, perhaps you've confused me with someone who uses AE?

You could just splice them into the any sequence, the Queen's ship parked on Tatooine, Anakin running through the Naboo fields.

The possibilities are endless.

Not elegant enough for me ;-)

It's nearly the last image of the second trailer which makes the film look much better than it actually is.

Padme's "Get to your ships!" is delivered with much greater conviction too.

Episode 1 just stinks remember jar jar binks and how he stepped in poo.

It will never be the same, midichlorians are lame and whats up with Naboo.

"What's the deal with Naboo? I mean, it's not like it's a planet full of ghosts!"

You know, I happen to be a bigger fan of the PT than most.  If they had come out first, followed by the OT 20 years later, they would have been seen as decent movies by most at least, and the OT would have been a big step up.  I still enjoy them for what they are.

I know the movies are riddled with continuity errors, but one that recently started bugging me (I don't know if it was ever brought up here or elsewhere) is when the shields close that separate Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Maul in TPM.  Why couldn't a slice or two on the side where the shield was generated shut the whole thing down?  A couple of blasts shut down the hangar shields in the opening battle of ROTS.  Why can't a lightsaber do the same?

And if Darth Maul had known how to block, maybe he would have survived long enough to be killed by Obi-Wan on Utapau.

Don't mention Crystal Numbskull I'll rage at how they ruined a classic film series.  Lucas manged to ruin 2 in a 9 year span.

Why stop now?

I still havent seen Crystal Skull. Is it really that bad?

I think how bad it is has been overrated.  It's disappointing for sure, and there are some stinker parts, but overall it's worth at least one watch.

And there are a few fanedits around that make it a little better.

I think I'm going to go into skyjediland on this one.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is one of the worst films I've ever seen.

Worst film ever? Jesus, come on.

I thought Crystal Skull was a very fun film. I thought the last 30 minutes were too ridiculous and too disjointed, but the first hour is I think some of the best Indiana Jones stuff there is. The more I re-watch it the more I like. Again, poor ending and a disappointing last act, but overall a worthwhile addition to the series in my opinion. But then this is coming from a guy who holds Temple of Doom as his favourite.

In what parallel dimension is that then? Cos I've been in 1189998819991197253 of them and our version of the phantom menace doesn't seem to conform to the standards of a 'Good story' or being classed as 'well told'

I think it's safe to say with 100.99% certainty that Easterhay is a dyed-in-the-wool PT gusher/Lucas sycophant.

I think it's ironic how one is mocked for giving his own opinion about a movie and then some users here complain about how they are mocked on other websites/forums, while they do the same here.

I really find it sad.
