The year is 1999. I am about 7 years old, and not yet seen a Star Wars movie in theatres. Thus the stage was set for my experience with Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace.
Ok, so first and foremost, I realize that Ep. I is not the best of the best, but I still quite enjoy watching it. It's fun, fast-paced (for the most part) and has frickin' Darth Maul in it!!! The story at time drags a bit and some of the dialogue isn't all that great, but there are definitely still many moments that unleash that inner kid in you, i.e. the Podracers, the epic battles at the end and that amazing lightsaber duel! I do like this entry in the saga, and every time I watch it, I go back to a somewhat simpler time; when the stresses of everyday life hadn't yet sunk in. Overall, I enjoy Ep. I and all the memories it sets off. The Force will be with you...always.
