Originally Posted By Skellington88 Im surprised you find Episode I unwatchable Spirit...It is a bad film compared to the others but it does have some nice sequences like the duel with Darth Maul, parts of the starfighter battle at the end, the podrace, the beginning of the film, the very end with qui gons funeral, and the parts on Coruscant. I think the problem with Episode 1 was that Lucas was trying to essentially make the equivalent of a Disney animated film in the SW universe but it came off extremly childish. He wanted to open the prequel era with a happy tale so that you really feel sad when the trilogy ends on such a dark note.

Originally Posted By brotherdave I liked Liam Neeson as Qui Gon Jin and wish we could have seen more of him. He, Darth Maul, and Obi Wan (Ewan MacGregor) helped salvage that movie, for the most part. One question, why did the puppet for Yoda look SOOOOO bad in Ep. 1 vs how he looked in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. I realize he was CGI in Ep II and III (and looked much better in those films), but in Ep I, he looked horrible! Very unconvincing! Were the puppeteers that bad, or just that good in the older films?

Originally Posted By The Goddess Mara I haven't read this entire thread, so don't know if this has already been mentioned, but the only stationary 3D motion simulator that I've ridden was Race to Atlantis in the Forum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. It rocked! So, I'm greatly looking forward to this. Atlantis, however, had the fancy computerized 3D glasses with the electronic shutter/lenses. Polarized glasses are not going to create nearly as good an effect with the same kind of level of visual comfort. I don't consider 3D glasses to be the same kind of bodily intrusion as getting poked in the ass and spritzed in the face.

The "kid" was so bad that even John Williams string swells couldn't salvage the scenes. Anikin's Mother: You have to race, it's the only way...." Strings swell......
