Look, I wasn’t terribly excited about watching it, so I’m
doubting you’re terribly enthused about rehashing it. However, it’s necessary. Well, at least, for me. So here it is – my review/reliving of the
weakest chapter in the Star Wars saga.

A Star Wars Recap: Episode I
On the cusp of the unprecedented hype surrounding Star Wars (Episode VII) The Force Awakens,
it was necessary to go back and watch all of them. For the nth time. Some argue that they should be watched in
sequence of how they were released (IV-VI, I-III). I argue that if you watch them like that, you
end on a flatter note than if you just get the prequels out of the way
first. Though, as you’ll see in later my
rankings are somewhat unorthodox. So, as
a format of sorts, I’m going to break down what I like/love about each film,
sandwich in some outstanding questions, and end with what I loathe. Then I’ll reveal where that film ranks.
Unlike many Star Wars
purists, I actually don’t have an immediate gag reflex when confronted by the
idea of Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
