Alright, one of the few good things that I can say about Episode I is that George stuck to the basics. No sex scenes, no graphic violence, and no strong language. Other than that, I felt like I sat through a movie that was geared more toward my five-year-old nephew that a lifelong Star Wars fan like myself. The title should have been something like 'Episode I: Yay! Star Wars for the Barely Potty Trained!' Don't get me wrong, I did watch the whole movie, have even watched it again when I caught it on HBO at three in the morning. It had great special effects. And wee Anakin is just adorable. But it just did NOT have the same sparkle as the original trilogy. As a die-hard Star Wars dork, I just have to give it a thumbs down. *sigh*
