Comment on Have y'all seen the theatrical re-release of The Phantom Menace? What was your experience?

I posted a few thoughts here.

It was my first time watching it on the big screen since it’s initial release which was an interesting experience as my expectations were much lower, so I wasn’t as disappointed and I have chewed over the faults on so many levels that I was partly immunised to them (apart from the the highest level issues - it made me think how the scope and scale of it was just too big and how different starting off with a more focused story could have really helped).

So, yes, it has issues, but it also has some great scenes and the Duel of the Fates is peak Star Wars.

Plus we got a preview of The Acolyte afterwards and that looked great on the big screen - it’s showing a tonne of promise.
