Talking of the Phanton Menace on the big screen..
In all honest truth my willpower and love for SW didnt stretch as far as seeing The Phantom Menace at the cinema, I got a fair quality "cough" VHS sometime like a week before, then me and my mates decided on the spot what a load of crap it was, and would be better spending the ticket price down the pub.
From 77 onwards it is still the only SW or SE film I have not seen on a cinema screen, though in a way I do regret not seeing it at the cinema as it was a Star Wars film
