Phantom Menace was the best of the new Star Wars films so... I'd recommend not watching the other two. Or at least skipping the second one.
Liv: But isn't that brilliant?[info]icicaille on January 18th, 2009 10:13 pm (UTC)
Oh, I've seen them all about 1000000 times (unfortunately, I suppose), and I agree with you. The prequels all sucked, but TPM is my favorite simply because of Qui-Gon. Ugh, the disconnect between the original trilogy, which was excellent, and the prequels is just shocking.

Do you mind if I add you? I think we have quite a bit in common!

Certainly!
