Darth Maul easily became one of my favorite characters. He was the only redeeming factor of Ep 1. Yeah, a lot of that remastered shit was bananas. To me it seemed like Ep 1 tried to pander a lot to the children of the audience. I guess that's understandable because of parents bringing their kids to get them into it, but damn. Nothing will ever compare to Empire Strikes Back.

It hit it's audience man. I enjoyed episode 1 the first time I saw it, I was 9 at the time lol. I thought it was garbage compared to the original 3 by the time Episode 2 came out and I was 12.

That's exactly how I was. I was around 10 or 11 at the time and saw a midnight premiere. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Not anymore.

I don't like first ep, second is ok imo, and third is enjoyable, I liked anakin's change, loved the music & the scene of 666 when yoda feels all the pain.

The darth maul fight scene is one of the most awesome bits of cinema ever created imo.

Badass music, badass introduction, all total badass.

Ep1 is my favourite out of the new ones for that bit alone.

I liked episode 1. Who doesn't want to see Liam Neeson as a Jedi?

I think that was a black Jedi in a trooper suit.

People say they're worried the new films will suck because Disney owns them, do they not realize they own the marvel films as well? Marvel has been outstanding. With Lucas (who sucked as a director) out of the way I have high hopes for these films. JJ Abrams should do a decent enough job.

just updating this old thread. looking forward to christmas I am.
