I watched Episode One when it was released and I was completely bored through the whole thing. I enjoyed the first three movies in theaters well enough, so I was surprised at how bored I was.

I watched Episode One again with my spouse who had never seen Star Wars, as a “we should watch the first three movies for Spaceballs context” like a decade ago, then watched the fourth because I remembered it being shit. The only good part in that movie is when Jarjar says “DAT SMEL STINKAWIFF”, one of the fucking worst lines ever written. We quote it often now.
