The worst part is definitely the people who still talk about this shit 20 years after the fact ![Beyond good. Beyond evil. Beyond your wildest imagination. :goty](http://www.thebore.com/forum/Smileys/default/willam.png)
The Phantom Menace and Prequel Trilogy accurately predicted where politics would be heading 10 - 15 years from the films release.
George Lucas was a visionary

I also never got the hate for TPM after the initial disappointment as it was clearly aimed at a younger audience and they back peddled from that shift.
There's some bad stuff in there for sure (Jar Jar lmao) but it isn't nearly as big as a disaster as Attack of the Clones or The Last Jedi and like The Force Awakens hits most of the 'Star Wars' marks.
TPM is a very ambitious film with faults but a lot of effort went into making it and technology wise they did a ton of things never before seen in films. I remember as a kid the movie was a very big deal and outside
of really vocal hardcore fans people mostly enjoyed it even though it was clearly worse than the previous 3 films.
So in the end it goes something like this:
Godlike: TESB
Great: SW / ROTJ / RO
Cool: TFA / TPM / ROTS / HS
So bad it's good: SW Christmas Special
LMAO wtf is this: AOTC / TLJ
