The Prequel Trilogy / Re: Looking Back...
« on: February 11, 2005, 11:06 AM »
I actually posted something similar on the five-year anniversary...but I'll go ahead and post here too.
I remember seeing the TPM teaser trailer shown on the local news in fall 98. I got that close-to-crying feeling in the back of my throat when Qui-Gon introduced Obi-Wan to Anakin, with Artoo looking on.
I got the novelization through Amazon a few weeks early (because it was so cheap) and after reading the first couple of Anakin chapters (that were publicized to happen before the movie), I made my girlfriend hide it from me so I wouldn't spoil the movie.
For as much as I don't think Jar Jar played well, I think Watto and Sebulba won me over for support of the digital actors. I guess I've never noticed the Tatooine scenes dragging (aside from the "fixing the podracer" part with Seek and pals) because I hang off Watto's performance every time.
At this point in time, I think I'm more a fan of Menace than I am of Clones.
