After the first 30 minutes of Phantom Menace, if you call that taste then I'd rather not

My opinion might be a little complex. Here is my current ranking based on how I remember them right now.

1. The Empire Strikes Back
2. A New Hope
3. Revenge of the Sith
4. The Phantom Menace
5. Return of the Jedi
6. Attack of the Clones

Tbh when I first watched TPM, I came out from the movie theater with a down feeling; as whether I wouldn't had liked it. It was a strange feeling of disbelief; I couldn't accept that was a Star Wars movie. It happened just the first time; I enjoyed it quite a lot afterwards, and it never happened again with the subsequent prequels (it did happen again with The Force Awakens, exactly the same case).

I know the biggest complain from the fans by those years was Jar Jar Binks. It was no problem to me. Jar Jar has always been my favourite character from the prequels (@JarJarBinks is my alt account), and I was in my 30's when it came out. Yes, he was a character targeted for the kids; but that didn't make him annoying; I never have understood the hatred.

I believe the prequels tell an impressively good story, the worlds and concepts are brilliantly made, and I also think there is much more than what people see on screen that Lucas was planning; but didn't follow through. It's however badly written and executed. Lucas is brilliant on the technical aspects; but he is totally incompetent directing characters and writing dialogs. That's what imo hurts the movies the most.

I think your ranking is the most accurate I've seen and totally agree about Lucas, he lacked those qualities and the final product is just the result of this.

I was not expecting you to be @JarJarBinks .

I honestly thought you were only a random troll at the beginning but you're one of the funniest. A shame you didn't make it to the event.

I used to see alt accounts as the most useless things that can be created; but I reached a time when I needed to see something on the forum from the perspectice of another user, so I created the alt account with that end. Not knowing what to do with it afterwards; I just decided to repurpose it to be an account to joke around. So I picked Jar Jar for that and made it as whether it were the very Jar Jar Binks the one behind it; so it's mostly an in-character account. I would not call it trolling since I'm not aiming to cause people to get angry or have a negative reaction, More like trying to make people to laugh actually.

I didn't join as Jar Jar because Gungan is not one of the races in play. I think I already explained why I didn't join with my main account.

The Phantom Menace is the only one I can tolerate cause it has Liam Neeson and Darth Maul.

 

[dark_tranquility]

They aren't particularly groundbreaking or memorable to me either.
I mostly only liked em for Darth Maul and Natalie Portman : /

And the yoda lightsaber duel was epic, but that's it really.
