(...) I agree with Steve. I loved TPM, the only disappointment (Outside of the technical glitches in all SW movies) is the lack of development of the bad/evil characters. The Trade Federation people were a bunch of weak knee wishy-washy jelly (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I liked the Trade Federation guys -- they're probably invertebrates, evolving directly from some jellyfish floating in an alien sea somewhere. The battle droids definitely should have been more menacing. Or there should have been two different (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) It looked to me like the Gungans couldn't throw their little blue balls through the sheilds, just like the Tanks couldn't fire in. Once the Droids got through the shield, they opened up on them. Dropping the sheild to hit the Droids as they (...) (25 years ago, 3-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Because they knew they were just stalling for time? Why hasten the battle when your goal is to use up time? I don't like the explanation of "can't fire out through the shields". Who would come up with a defense like that? Steve (25 years ago, 3-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)
