I bought tickets in advance. Saw it opening day. Loved it the first time i saw it but felt there was a bit missing. But for an intro chapter it was okay. I thought Jar Jar was i don't know humor for the kiddies so it did'nt really bother me then. I liked the pod race and the lightsaber duel. Like pretty much everyone else those were the only scenes in the entire film that stood out really.

Couldn't wait to see Episode II. and since no bashing allowed the rest as they say is history,lol.

I read the script about a month before i saw the movie so i noticed things not being there. Like the duel on the ships ramp between maul and qui gon. And Jar Jar being told by Boss Nass that he is to be "pounded unto death".lol. Intead of as in the film "he-sun to be pune-nished ".
