I agree completely with your 2nd viewing assessment, though I also knew going in
the first time, that Jar Jar was going to be a nuissence, so I was able to look
past him, but you do have to admit that he's well done technically, if overly
animated. I also caught the E.T.'s, must be a tribute to speilburg. Did you
notice the wookies?
The Pod Race sequence and the final saber duel are the most impressive scenes in
all of starwars, even topping the hoth scene in Ep V. I love the way Obi Wan was
able to predict when the energy field barriers were going to open up, he had his
saber lit and ready first (using his jedi forsight). Both me and my friend had
the same idea though, when Maul's saber was broken in half, he should have held on
to both halves and fought with one in each hand, that would have been too
awesome. The pod race scene was so good, it reminded me of the canyon race in
Iron eagle, which is one of my favorite movies. They got the sound perfect for
the pods, Sebulba's was jaw dropping.
