Looks like George Lucas made a lot of IMDB accounts.

It didn't take any big chances like TPM.
yeah, and we know how THAT turned out. when it comes right down it, Disney doesn't care if it's good or bad, original or rip off, so long as it makes a shet-ton of money they will consider it 'good' and keep milking it.

if you love phantom menace so much describe the plot without the following
you cant refer to future films
you cant mention any star wars elements
you cant mention space
phantom menace is a meaningless mess with no story under the surface -

A group of people flee invading forces, a warrior discovers a talented apprentice and takes him for training, group goes back and defeat the invading force. Wasnt hard and I dont really love TPM, or see what loving it has to do with knowing the plot

the problem with phantom menace is this
there isnt really a story or a emotional core
TFA was about a woman letting go of her past and finally moving on with her life
new hope was a coming of age story in the guise of a space adventure
empire strikes back is about fighting back against dark forces that erodes a persons humanity
return of the jedi is about how redemption and familial love triumphing over meaningless violence
phantom menace has no story under the surfacemuch of its "story" is hollowironically the prequels are much worse than godzilla 1998a film lucas mocked
oh the irony -

except Rey didnt let go and move on, she wanted to go back to Jakku and then she was abducted by Ren. She goes to find Luke but without anymore info you can't say she left her past and moved on and the most likeliest of plots in the next movie are Rey's past
The difference between the PT and the OT in regards to your simplifications is that the OT is about a few people while the PT is about an order, more about war than the OT. This doesnt make the story instantly inferior, execution maybe but the premise no
On its own a coming of age story isnt superior than the story of the fall of a republic, or the resistance of an invading force, or a civil war
You are using what you like as fact, a lot of people dont care and even dislike Rey so there is no emotional attachment with her for some as there is for Anakin in the PT with you
BTW the violence was the opposite of meaningless -

Haven't seen The Force Awakens, and have no intention of ever seeing ityeah, I read the reviews elsewhere, so I can't imagine how it would get higher scores than this oneand TPM was a stinker to someone who saw the original way back when

I blame red letter media and his stupid videos about the prequels. It bolstered support and bred unfounded hate in fans and even non fans.
Then they complain about rogue one for 'pandering to fans with too many OT references' when it's EXACTLY what they were claiming was lacking from the prequels.
Anyway, I love ep 1 and 3, they are so real star wars, not TFA or rogue one. Those movies are just disney specials, worse than the holiday special.
