h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

  So the madness begins, the multitiude babbling their individual
interpretations of what they have seen/heard in the Phantom Menace. One
must remember that this is only PART of the story, to judge it's
overall depth is premature and futile. Certainly Goerge Lucas has
carefully weighed the motions of the characters long before any of us
knew the movie was in production! The middle trilogy could stand
alone, why not the first trilogy as well? While we all know the new
movie is part of our beloved culture, we must remember that NO ONE
has seen the full epic, and thus NO ONE can judge it's passages
apart from the whole and seem even remotely credible...
I say let the movies play out, then watch them all in sequence,
and decide whether Mr. Lucas is a good storyteller, or not...
