Roger Ebert Reviews "The Phantom Menace" & Interviews Lucas

[@gutz1981]

There are moments in his review where Roger looks over to where he normally would look towards Gene as if he would be talking to him. Only by this point, his old sparing partner was gone and never to come back. Sad.

"Most interesting new character." Lol

George Lucas is both super talented and mediocre at the same time.

Apparently when it comes to the Prequels, you're not allowed to have an opinion or you'll be crucified by OT purists whose Brains turned to mush after the '97 special edition showed them that Star Wars isn't perfect and never was. God I hate people that bash on Prequel fans.

Roger liked Jar Jar.

[@rasalpaul4574]

I agree with Ebert. I loved this movie.

Star Wars was the first movie I stayed awake through as a child (and Phantom Menace the first I fell asleep on as an adult).

[@zeigbert1743]

I think Roger was being very kind to his friend George. Jar Jar is perhaps the most annoying character in the history of cinema.

JAR JAR IS THE KEY TO ALL OF THIS

I was in line in 77 and have been every since. Well said at the end Mr. Lucas. ✌

Three people disliked the positive review and the objective criticism.

I can't believe this exists! Thank you!

[@Dim4323]

i give it a Thumbs up as well because it was something new and creative

[@jerkeky]

Its funny watching this after Rouge One and hearing that George Lucas didn't think they would ever use CGI to bring back characters.

"we can create a fully digital character that looks are real as any actor does." - Mr. George Lucas in 1999.
