Yeah, the could have done the entire Phantom Menace in at most the first 45 minutes and then have a decent 2 - 2 1/2 hour movie, but of course then they couldn't do the pod race scene because we know that was so important.
I forgot how utterly useless the first movie was until I watched those reviews again.
And if I ever felt like getting off how shitty The Phantom Menace was, I could go on about Attack of the Clones and how they completely screwed up what The Clone Wars could have been.
Come on, the clone wars! Out of every fanboy fantasy they chose that.
