In 1999, Star Wars Episode 1 was released onto a public that were ravenous for any new Star Wars product. The consensus at the time was that the movie was...let's say "flawed" but that it was definitely worth the wait to have a new Star Wars movie. And hey, the kinks would obviously be worked out in the subsequent movies, right? Cut to a few years later when everyone basically feels duped by the new Star Wars and with a clearer head can see The Phantom Menace for the boondoggle that it always was. So why are we still letting people get away with calling this anything other than a waste of time?
