profundities...
Overall, I thought it was a great movie, the special effects were stunning, and
the pod race was awesome! My only real complaint was the "evil" Trade
Federation. Do all bad guys go to the Bad Guy school of Idiocy? Ugh, can you
imagine having one source for all droid communication? Where's the backup?

Except for the Coruscant city scenes, IMO. The space scenes were the best ever
seen, but cityscapes still have a long way to go. I thought the film was
fantastic.

The only other suggestion was Darth Maul, for being as publicized as he was, he
sure didn't have much of a part. I think the pilots of the Queens ship (Looked
like a chrome SR-71 Blackbird, BTW, for all you military jet buffs out there)
had a bigger part.

Remember Silence of the Lambs, and all of the publicity Lector got? He
appeared for maybe 10 minutes of the film, and that was it!

It was a great movie, now I am looking forward to changing about half the Lego
sets to match the actual one in the movie!

I loved the Corscant scenes, probably because they used an entire planet for one city! (It could have been more detailed, however!) Can you imagine Lego coming out with one of those landing pads that the Queen's ship landed on? That would be a neat (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I haven't seen SotL recently, but Hannibal the Cannibal had a *lot* more screen time than 10 minutes. And he had a lot more character than Darth Maul. Darth Maul wasn't a character, he was a plot device. He was a gargoyle, waiting for people (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)

To all, Well, I finally saw the movie! I wanted to wait until the crowds would not be so bad, and I was not disappointed! My place of work has summer hours, which translates into having half of Friday off, so I went to the Showcase theater nearby. (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)
