      Actually, I think this was his second draft. I heard originally it was Obi-Wan's movie. When Obi-Wan gets to Coruscant he enlists Qui-Gon to return with him to help fight the Trade Federation (and Darth Maul) on Naboo. But Lucas had second thoughts and decided to make Qui-Gon the main character, I guess because he didn't think he'd do another master-and-apprentice movie.

      There was no one his equal to critique his script. Spielberg got a sneak peak but I don't think got the script. And when Ben Burtt sat in the editor's chair, it was all filmed and too late. Though he could have at least taken out the line about "another pathetic life form" which tells us to hate Jar Jar and Anakin.

      I think each of the prequel movies has its own major flaw. For Episode 1, it's the failed attempts at humor. For 2, it really drags in the middle. For 3, it's that there's no emotional attachment in the first half of the film. Oddly enough, years later, TLJ managed to combine all of these flaws into a single film. But I digress.
      When I saw it with my friends, one of them commented that he believed that episode 1 was lighthearted to set a tone, one to contrast with the darker parts of the story to be told in episode 2 and 3. Personally, though, based on Howard the Duck and such, I think it is more a Lucas issue, with nobody on the team being able to say, "Nope, this sucks, George. It needs to change."

    I actually love this part because of the politics of it, and hate it because of the simple goofy things. It used to be the other way around when I was little

    There were some solid deep cuts during the Staring section! I loved it.

    I love this movie in its entirety, but even if I didn't, that final fight is packed with SO much goodness that it is worthy of a dissertation by itself. The choreography is unmatched. Not just because it looks cool, that's easy. It is so good because on top of looking cool, there are so many small details of genuine battle tactics and psychology that are blink-and-you-miss-it, like Obi-wan's fakeout toward the start and how Maul kills Qui-gon and immediately turns to face Obi-wan without stopping to gloat or flourish or relish in the kill or anything. He is in battle mode, not "villain mode", and it shows.

      I love how they made Maul, probably the most over the top looking villain in Star Wars, have the discipline and focus of a monk. He is more disciplined and focused than any Jedi in any of the movies.

      Funny, but I watched a video saying it was so staged with them attacking each other's weapons that they could have not blocked or parried many times and the swords wouldn't have struck flesh.

    I love how first impressions works. When this movie came out ive just started watching si-fi movies. And it was my first SW movie. And i always loved it above others.
    The same with Final fantasy series. My first was 9. I played it 14 times and i still love it. Never understood the fascination with the 7th game.
