This article features spoilers for Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
I'll be honest...
When I was a kid, and The Phantom Menace hit theaters, I could not be more excited. I had the opportunity to see the re-release of the Original Trilogy in theaters and now, there was a brand new film, with new characters and worlds. Obviously, Darth Maul and the epic lightsaber battle at the end of the film were the highlights for me and my friends who, after the film, would pretend to be engaged in vicious lightsaber battles for the fate of the galaxy. I was a child, and as a child, it was impossible not to get swept away by the bombardment of toys, books, games, and comics, even if the movie felt a little different from the original films.
So now that I'm an adult, how do I feel about a film I once loved?
