Current Events > The Phantom Menace came out 21 years ago.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Teenagers born when Attack of the Clones came out, in 2002, are now legal adults.

And kids born when Revenge of the Sith came out, in 2005, are old enough to give consent for sex here in Sweden

Interesting. I thought all of the Disney star wars movies were boring. Didn't catch them in theaters though

Phantom Menace was one of the first (if not the first) big-budget CGI-fueled spectacles I saw as a teen; CGI of course quickly became an overused crutch that more often than not hinders a movie instead of elevating it (and was also soon to be thoroughly trounced by the LotR trilogy in terms of being CGI spectacles that were also actually good movies), but at the time it was quite a feast for the eyes and imagination. So even to this day TPM gets a fair amount of nostalgia-fueled leeway with me when it comes to how I feel about the SW prequels on an individual basis.
