Attack of the Clones is dreadful and the first half of Revenge of the Sith is also very bad but it seems Phantom Menace has ended up as the punching bag for all the rage. There are even a lot more practical effects in there than people think - IIRC it’s just the Gungans vs Droids battle that is all CGI and not mixed in with a lot of practical. Not that it’s a good film at all but it doesn’t deserve to be the nexus of prequel hate.

Agree. I've always felt phantom was best of the prequels. Damming with faint praise perhaps but the others just get worse and more stupid trying to link into everything we knew from the og. Much like the sequel trilogy too really.

Just pick how it fucking worked! Jesus.

Yeah there better be a 3rd....Im almost half afraid to wish for it, but it would be cool to get Cal in live action.
