Attack of the Fanboys is more like it.

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2002)

All right, let me get this out of the way first. I LOVE Star Wars it is one of my favorite franchises of all time but, I'm not the stand in line for 386 hours, believe The Force is real type of fan. That said I'll now put my reputation and quite possibly my life on the line here. I LOVED Episode I!!! It had what this film is missing, that Star Wars feel. Lucas has always said that he made Star Wars for 13 year old boys. Episode I had that feeling. While, yes, I did find Jar Jar annoying, he was no worse or more distracting than the Ewoks from Return of the Jedi. The only true complaint I have with Episode I is Jake Lloyd, too hyperactive.
To me it just seems that Lucas has tried to silence all the fanboys, who are now in their 20's and beyond, I fit this age bracket yes, but again, I accept the films for what they are, fun action filled, corny dialogue, kids movies. The fanboys distracted Lucas from making his fun filled movies, to make a movie that is too heavy handed and loaded with WAY too many inside references. Chances are that half the audience that's now seeing this movie, are actually the 13 year olds that he intended, and they are lost because they may not have even seen the original trilogy. While the action was fast paced, more plentiful and awesome, the story itself was just lacking that mystical, magical, kiddy-movie feel that the other five films had. So, if any of the fanboys read this and are po'ed at me, or thought that the movie did suck, remeber, you only have yourself to blame.
