I'm actually confused about this. I see some articles claiming they are doing a star wars theater marathon of all 9 Skywalker saga films, but I don't see any theaters participating in that.
I did find tickets for the Phantom Menace on the 3rd.
I know it's the meme that everybody hates episode 1, but I've lived my whole life loving this movie. It was the first Star Wars film I saw in theaters, and the hype from Darth Maul igniting that second blade has lived with me forever.
Podracing, the birth of the Seperatist movement, our first time seeing Coruscant on screen, the introduction of the Jedi Council...
There are so many incredible moments in this film that people have taken for granted because they focus almost entirely on the handful of throwaway comedy lines from JarJar.
The only great Star Wars film to come out since the original trilogy was Rogue One.
I wholeheartedly agree. The prequels are funny in a campy way but they don't really feel like Star Wars. And the sequels feel like a parody of the original trilogy rather than actually building on them. Rogue One feels like it fits perfectly into the original trilogy.
It's something to say that a movie is good or bad according to you (it's usually a matter of personal preference), it's something else to tell people they have bad taste.
