People would have been overjoyed if TPM was what TFA was at that time. It would have broken Titanic's box office record in 1999 if this was the movie that was made rather than what we got.
I remember it being so strange watching a Star Wars movie where there was no cheering, no laughing, no nothing from the audience .... just silence. The movie had no pulse, no life.
"The Mummy" (release a few weeks earlier) was a silly film but it felt more like a Star Wars movie than The Phantom Menace did a lot of the time. It killed me deep down to admit this to myself.
