I remember taking my wife and kids to see Episode 1. I was so excited that they would have the chance to see a new Star Wars movie and have the same experience I had when I saw the first movie.

I wasn't horrified at time of the screening because I was trying to take in every detail.

Jar Jar and Greedo were awful, and Anakin was a wooden little kid, but Neeson and McGregor were great.

It was only after the movie, when we started to dissect it that the realization set in that Lucas had destroyed the Star Wars mythos.
