Star Wars could have been a modern day Iliad.

The Phantom menace is really the only  PT film I can tolerate watching and that is only because of   qui-gon and darth maul. Qui-gon  was a perfect jedi knight  and darth maul made a good sith. I thought the saber scene at the end was ok but it was too flashy and ninja like for my taste.  the scene on tattoine   when maul and qui-gon fight  is very OT like in the way they are dueling. Those are the only aspects  of the film I enjoy. Episode 2 turns my stomach in every way possible and episode 3 just leaves me  shaking my head  and asking  why    3 films was attempted to be forced into 2 and a half hrs and watching palpatine cackle and hearing vader scream NOOO  really makes me want to drink a batch of poison. Liam neesons  performance is the only thing note worthy out of all 3 pt films. In my opinion anyways. I enjoyed the last starfighter and the beastmaster  more than I enjoyed the PT films.

 I felt the TPM Lightsaber duel was prlly the best out of all he movies. It seemed more intense and, oh what's the right word? Seasoned i guess. Stupid word. Bottom line that was the best LightSaber battle out of all of them.

What makes "Star Warsy"? Having the same feeling you had when you first watched the OT IMO.

The indy wise cracks for the PT i think were transfered over to Anakin and Obi-Wan

i believe there's a website that's soley dedicated to the PT and they criticize the OT. Funny, we got a battle of the trilogies here. :)

 

And personally, i thought the Pod Race scene was an amazing scene in the movie. It was cool as it provided another background to Tatooine and the SW universe. That's really the first time we even see a sport played in the saga.

Card playing and gambling doesn't count.

Same with the Government. We learn what kind of government the SW universe had and how its not that disimiliar to any other governments.
