After seeing Episode I in the theater, I'm not sure if my first words were "That wasn't a Star Wars movie" or "What was George Lucas thinking?".

I did get a horrible feeling from the very beginning after seeing the Epsiode I trailer which played before the one of the worst sci-fi movies ever, WING COMMANDER (that should have been an omen in and of itself). Where's Han when you need him? "I got a bad feeling about this."

That bad feeling was horibbly reinforced by the very first scene of the movie where the Jedi's ship captain played wooden against an unbelievably puppety and Asian-accented Neimodian. By the end of the story, the bad outweighed the good.
