How old were you

I was 29 and found TPM to be a let-down. The OT was filled with humans playing characters and ships that were actually crafted and posed. When ships exploded, there were actually filmed detonations and when you saw hundreds of characters in a scene, they were actually there acting. We moved to set pieces constructed entirely by computer and characters constructed the same way. I appreciate the workmanship of the OT than CGI can never match.

Long-time Star Wars fan.
I'm 34 now (May 2nd is my birthday) so back in '99, when this came out I just turned 17.
Soyeah, I was 17.
As far as me "Liking it"? Meh
I thought Darth Maul was totally badass. Hell, I still think he's badass. Qui-Gon Jin, also. Maul and Qui-Gon are, in my opinion, the only memorable "new" characters that came from the prequels. Totally sucks that they were killed off in only the first film that they appeared in.
Overall, I was a bit disappointed but I still mildly enjoyed it.

I was 4 years old when it came out and I loved it. It was the film that made me fall in love with Star Wars. As I have gotten older, I've grown to see the flaws in the film and consider it to be the weakest of the Prequels, but I still really like the film.

Twenty seven. I remember seeing the original in the theater when I was four or five. I saw Phantom Menace at the midnight showing opening night. Seven minutes into the film I knew this was not Star Wars, I wound up yelling at Jar Jar to shut the hell up during his intro monologue.

I was 20 and was obsessed with it.
Bought all the 'making of' + art books in the lead up, the script, the CD soundtrack, action figures galore. Must have seen it clsoe to 10x in the cinema over a 3-4 month period.
Now I'm 37, looking back, it will always hold a special place in my memory, but objectively, its myriad of flaws are glaringly apparant to me now, and have been for some time.
I very rarely watch it these days, perhaps once every 2-3 years.
