What I would have done to make Phantom Menace less painful

Rating: 1/10 (26 May 2005)

1. I would have made Anakin slightly older. I hated the cute little kid. A brooding teenager would have helped the storyline and foreshadowed things to come more.
2. I would have killed off all the Gungans in the first 15 minutes.
3. Darth Maul should have been in almost every scene. He was cool.
4. The starships would have looked more primitive than they did in ANH. The way everything is rendered in this installment, you would think that the technology in the Star Wars universe regressed.
5. I would have rendered Amidala/Padme entirely in CGI. That would have made her more life-like than Portman's portrayal.
