'Phantom Menace' Is "Worst Sequel Ever"
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace has been voted the worst movie sequel of all time in a poll by American TV network E!. The highly anticipated 1999 prequel beat off fierce competition from the likes of Batman & Robin, Speed 2: Cruise Control and Jaws: The Revenge, to be crowned king of disappointing follow-ups. The Phantom Menace - made over 15 years after George Lucas' original Star Wars trilogy - starred Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor alongside a cast of computer-generated creatures. Jeff Reid of E! says, "Liam Neeson gave the old Jedi a try, but Ewan McGregor looked like he was still in Trainspotting. And the convoluted storyline didn't help. If there's one sure thing about Hollywood and sequels, it's that no matter how bad a movie is, it can always be re-made worse. In Tinseltown, imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery - it's an established path to commercial success. But all-too-often, part deux is really part doo-doo."

Come on man, don't try and defend this horrible movie. You know exactly what they mean.
A few reasons why it wasn't a sequel were because George Lucas blew it with the happy ending in Return of the Jedi and by allowing all those other writers to continue on the legacy and allowing them to dress up Chewbacca in a suit of armor.
Sequel or prequel? In Hollywood it doesn't matter. It's the movie that came out after the first one based on the same story. They know very well it's not going to generate as much revenue as the first, but figure they'll give it a shot anyway. |

| I'm not defending it at all. I thought that movie was terrible. If I wanted to watch a love story I would have stayed home and watched a porno. I personally wish they had never made that movie. South Park had it right when they tried to stop George Lucas from making all those sequels. Just like disney those fags are making sequels of everymovie they ever made. It's not right |

You just have to wait for the last one. When that one comes out, everything in the galaxy will make sense again and Lucas will be hailed a genius once more. |

Baby Chewbacca my ass. He'll be around 30-40 years old around the time of Episode III. |
