I think you have to see Phantom Menace as a kid to apprieciate [sic] it. Unlike the original trilogy which can be enjoyed at all stages of life though the nostalgia helps lol.

I agree that you have to see Phantom Menace as a child. I think I would have hated it if I saw it any older than like 13. It was one of, if not the, first films I ever saw in theaters, and I still prefer it to Clones as a result.

Unfortunately, I have to disagree that the OT can be seen at any age. I showed Star Wars to an 11 and 12 year old recently and they seemed really bored by it (oddly, their younger sister seemed pretty engaged). This could vary from child to child, but I think you have to see it either really young where it blows you away or when you're old enough to appreciate it.
