mainly fantastic, but...

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 1999)

Having just come back from seeing Episode One, I feel i have just seen a brilliant fantasy. The story is a great introduction to the saga and fills in gaps, as well as leaving you wanting more. There were some faults I feel. having an almost freakish obsession with Darth Maul, I feel he was in the film for too short a time and that his part was not used enough. I am disappointed he will not be in the next film, although I can understand why. I did hate Jar Jar Binks. He was irritating and unnecessary, a very bad second to Chewbacca, But hey, we can't have everything.

if you haven't seen it yet, prepare to be entertained and enjoy the ride!
