Turned me off Star Wars permanently

Rating: Null/10 (16 April 2002)

Used to like the STar Wars films, back when I was 15 or so. Remained largely faithful to them, or at least liked them a fair bit. Then Phantom Menace came out.
It's clear that Mr Lucas merely fluked when he made the original films. He has no talent at all, even with world-creation. I bet for certain that I would be able at least to write a better script. Dreadfully overdone special effects, and characters worse than in any cartoon.
I will not watch or hear anything about the other Star Wars films, I reckon. There's no way anyone who takes a project like this seriously, could have the skill to make a watchable film. Also, it has very much tarnished the reputation of the preceding 1970s trilogy in my eyes.
