SW Episode I

[scottishlass]

I watched ep. 1 for the second time tonight and I was - again - so disappointed ... the whole charm of the trilogy is somehow lacking, too stream-lined and just all in all too boring. I can't relate to the characters the way I still relate to the original trilogy.

I really come to hate the Jedi of the Old Republic ... they are a bunch of arrogant, self-righteous, strutting around idiots who think they can use the Force to reign the universe. Their fear for and of change, especially their refusal to support Anakin - despite or because he is the Chosen One, really gets my shackles raising. They are supposed to serve the Force and not vice versa.
I prefer the way of the Jedi after Luke reinstated them.

Exactly. What is Padme's motivation? Why does she even tolerate Anakin around? She is a Queen for crying out loud, she is grown up and why should she pass the time with a whining Padawan?
What is Anakin's motivation, other than whining?
It just boggles the mind IMHO :)

When I first saw EpI I thought oh yeah real cool Jedi when I first saw Qui Gong and Obi Wan. But last nght I was really like no, don't like them one bit. I hope your asses get whipped.

Yeah - I really wish they would have given me me something to make me buy Padme falling in love with Anakin. His whining and petulance was so unattractive to me.

I still like Qui-Gon - and he seems like he didn't fit in really well with the Old Republic Jedi anyway. And I like Ep. I Obi-Wan. Ep. II Obi-Wan was kind of a jerk, which I very much didn't like. And I didn't like his and Anakin's relationship - I wanted to see them be friends, like Old Ben said they were..
