Phantom menace in 3D...............................................................................................................................................................................................right

That quote from George Lucas is ironic considering he was the same guy who challenged Ted Turner against colorizing old black and white films...

“In the year of the blindee blumbb when the navri flumb” I’m dying.

Mark Kermode is the key to all this. We have to make sure we get him right. Because he's a funny film critic than we've ever had.

I remember seeing it in cinemas as a 10 year old kid and saw it in 3D as a 23 year old and still thought it was ok in 3D

Mark Kermode sounds like a British Woody Allen.

Never quite got the whole "don't get scared, sad or angry or you'll turn evil" philosophy. Surely someone would've realised that every jedi repressing their emotions is the perfect way to make people rebel and go bad.

the story about the fan that won some sort of contest and got to go to the world premiere, was so excited to be there and then was as he said "completely heartbroken" is honestly one of the saddest things i've heard in a while.

Another problem about Lucas' decision to release them chronologically- not only does cramming old characters into the prequels create all manner of plot holes, but kids seeing them for the first time will also be confused about why the ships and lightsabers get more and more OTT only to suddenly end up in Episode IV with lots of grey square ships and two old guys just swinging boring single-blade swords and no backflips. The ADD generation will just find the original trilogy boring.

The Phantom Menace=The Tax Policy Creator

Part of the charm of the original trilogy is how much of the back story is kept to the viewer's imagination. The best Star Wars film is Empire Strikes Back which has the least involvement from Lucas. I didn't understand the inclusion of Jar Jar Binks when you already have comedy relief from R2D2 and C-3PO.

just show your kids Star Wars original trilogy and explain that 4-6 are typos, n always say that Han shot first. The charm and brilliance of the Star Wars original trilogy will stand the test of time.

Good for you!

The main selling point of the Phantom Menace is that it looks fantastic, and if the 3D is as bad as he says then it's a wasted exercise. Although nowhere near as bad as Attack of the Clones.

@NamFarwd as Simon would say, put that on the poster!
