I agree with Steve. I loved TPM, the only disappointment (Outside of the
technical glitches in all SW movies) is the lack of development of the bad/evil
characters. The Trade Federation people were a bunch of weak knee wishy-washy
jelly fishes, dependent on the droids, who could have been so much more
menacing.
Darth Maul seems to be a a "oops, lets insert a light saber duel here to make
this movie more SW compliant."
One of the neat things about the original series, IMHO, is that it showed the
bad/evil characters very well, while also having the heroes (Luke, etc.)
develop. In TPM, it seemed more of an afterthought.
I think Episode 2 will address this better.
To get back to Lego, at least we can recreate some of the adventures, to give
the Dark Side a better glimpse.
