What a silly remark to say this is one person versus another. Grow up.

I maintain that TPM has a target audience and it's not me - I have no idea how old you are, zombie, but I think I'm safe in saying you weren't six when the film came out, so that puts you out of the target audience, too. And for that reason - as I've said elsewhere - yes, those political scenes do fail. They fail completely, just as similar dialogue in A New Hope fails (but that line from Tarkin about the dissolution of The Senate is quickly forgotten about because it doesn't take up twenty minutes of the bloomin' film). And apart from the final 45 minutes of AOTC, there's not much for the kids there at all - indeed, when my son first started watching that movie, he would always start at the Conveyor Belt scene.

And all the Oscar nominations are made by adults, whatever the film so I'm not sure where you're going with that reasoning.
