As for my Phantom Menace experience ... well it was a month of fantastic fun ... right up until, oh, 5 minutes after midnight on opening night.
I would never have imagined, though, that three years later my disappointment with Episode I would pale in comparison to my loathing of Revenge of the Sith.
Ok, the prequels themselves have been a big disappointment, but I have to say that I've had more Star Wars fun with them on the whole, simply because the line-ups went on for weeks.
