I was totally looking forward to the Prequels, and seeing Jar Jar Binks. I kept waiting for the movie to really pick up speed, and it just never did. The story plodded along, and dialogue that was apparently supposed to be interesting and important by the way it was said just never came across as such.

I was tired of seeing Jar Jar by the time Obi-wan and Qui-gon got to Theed. I realized this when I say him dangling from the overwalk after the Jedi jumped down and started taking out droids. I was thinking "why did they even bother with this character?"

After the film, I just didn't feel much of anything. I was at a big premiere, with stormtroopers and Vader outside (Edwards was opening a new theater that day), and I just didn't feel connected to the SW spirit going around.
