Saw the movies, had the figures when I was a kid, read the books, read a lot (but by no means all) of the new books, watched the documentaries on the DVD.
It doesn't take much to get fairly good on that topic these days.
I'm sadly one of the few people in existence who liked Episode 1 when it played (and still likes it). Sure, it's not as good as the other episodes but I'd take it over a lot of other SciFi movies any day.
I liked the political undercurrents? of EP 1-3, particularly 1 where it was less obvious.
I remember people saying what a "crap film" it was and complaining about Jar Jar. So I'd ask them why they thought it was called "The Phantom Menace" - they didn't know... Sometimes they'd say because it wasn't Darth Maul, but Palpatine who was the real baddie... close... NEVER would they say that it was because the whole "Menace" of the Trade Federation was a ruse. The annoying Jar Jar kept people looking in the wrong direction - hence it worked so well... unfortunately too well.
oops... sorry, guess you got me going there.
I remember having to go to this activity center in the summer holidays(at this time I had only seen episode two)... I met this kid who also said he a was a Star Wars fan, he said Anakin like Anikan
And to top it off, he told me that the Phantom Menace was a hooded man with two faces...
A mix between The Emperor and Proffesser Quirell??
If I ever see him again I'll tell him Matt Bushch theory: Darth Vader was Geridan the Kubaz...
