Yep..I was rather young when it first came out. It was actually about 10 or
so years ago that I first saw the movie on TV [and at that stage I hadn't
seen the other 2 either] and I thought it was the best movie I'd ever seen.
When they released the special edition version at the cinemas, I went and
saw them, and even without the extra bits they would still have to rate as
the best movies produced. The problem with E1 [in my opinion] was in its not
making better use of techniques used in the originals for a lot of scenes
[space scenes for example] and instead relying on computer animation. After
all, if they could produce so many different 'aliens' for some of the scenes
in the original movies, why couldn't they use the same techniques for E1?

Anyway, that's just my opinion :)

Cool to get a non-SW fan's perspective:

<very serious voice a la Peter Harvey, Can-berra>
Sith Infiltrator with Darth Maul and Probe Droids

becomes

<Kerry>
Spare Parts with Rash Face and Flying Gear-sticks

Actually I *am* a Star Wars fan, and I did see Episode 1 when
it first came
out, but I'm afraid I thought Darth Maul was bit of a joke,
and I have no
memory whatsoever of the Sith Infiltrator or the Probe
Droids. As a film, I
felt it didn't have anything like the impact of the original
Star Wars film.
Certainly, the special effects in Episode 1 were great but it
was Episode 4
that changed the face (or perhaps Force) of movie-making. Of course, I
daresay most of you never saw Episode 4 when it first came
out, being still
in nappies :-) However, those opening titles with the Imperial battle
cruises flying over and over and over and over just blew me
away; I knew
right away that this movie was going to be something truly
ground-breaking.
