…and Warwick Davis himself has confirmed that they used him as a kind of Yoda stand-in for one scene in TPM, walking in a long shot, and obviously it was kept in the movie, and that whole sequence with fake-Mace also, seems kind of botched together, perhaps last-minute. Been a long time since I managed to sit through the whole ending of TPM.
Wdym? TPM is probably the best non OT movie.
Not by a long shot.
It’s the best prequel, but it’s still a terrible movie.
I disagree. I think in many ways it’s less slapdash than ANH, let alone TFA.
ANH has this problem of brushing aside characters feelings. Like, if Leia’s planet blew up, I’d expect more than “we have no time for sorrows commander”.
Random observation having just watched THX 1138- What’s weird is that THX 1138 and The Phantom Menace are both more slick than ANH.
Hell, THX feels more like ESB than ANH does.
