I'm part of the generation that saw the original movie when it was first released back in '77. It made quite an impact on me at the time. I can remember dancing about in the parking lot wishing I had a light sabre and humming the theme music.
I made sure to be part of the opening day crowds for Empire and Jedi when they came out as well. Star Wars has always been one of my favourite franchises.
So when Episode I hit the theatres, I was there (not on opening day though) just to be entertained. The cool thing is that I was entertained. I made myself remember that the first three movies were action packed fluff that just happened to change the movie industry. This time, I just expected action packed fluff and I got what I wanted. This time instead of bleeping and booping robots for comic relief I got an annoying rasta alien.
In the end, I enjoyed Episode I. I'm glad I saw it on the big screen but I don't need to own it on DVD.
