So here are my thoughts on Episode I. Overall I enjoyed it. Though there seemed to be a distinct focus on action over character development and I think the film suffered overall for it. Given that, I could only recommend this to someone who's already seen the show and not first time viewers. But I did enjoy the overall structure of the narrative you managed to cobble together here. Hopefully we'll see more emphasis on character in Episode II!
Thanks, and I agree about the character development. Unfortunately the main character development from the movie was tied to the Jabba storyline, which was removed.
My main dilemma with this series is going to be the balance between character development and a cohesive storyline. I've just had the first feedback for episode II and his main suggestion is to remove one of the story arcs and replace it with another to produce a tighter story. The downside to this is the removal of a lot of character development.
