Well my anecdotal evidence is different than yours. My own kids love TPM and watch it quite often. And all the kids at my daughter's school (particularly the boys) love Star Wars, particularly the PT.Originally Posted by Carlo Medina
Well guess what? It's ten years since TPM was released. Many of my friends now have kids who are at the age I was when the OOT was out and not a single one of them has PT toys or likes the PT films. It's not that the kids don't like the PT in the way that we loved the OOT. It's that they don't even register the PT as good films worth watching.
Then why does my 3 year old boy want to recreate the TPM duel every night before he goes to bed?! LOLOriginally Posted by Chuck Mayer
The kids around here could give a fig about either trilogy. But man, they love the cartoon Clone Wars/img/vbsmilies/htf/chatter.gif
Star Wars is a very big deal for kids, but it is the cartoon they know.
Bad parenting??Originally Posted by Chris Atkins /img/forum/go_quote.gif"> Then why does my 3 year old boy want to recreate the TPM duel every night before he goes to bed?!
Touche. However, and trust me on this one, I did not influence him one bit in his love for TPM. I let him watch it and it naturally grew on him.Originally Posted by Chuck Mayer

This is about how I feel. There's no amount of complaining or critiquing that's going to change it. It is what it is. You either like it or you don't.Originally Posted by TravisR /img/forum/go_quote.gif
If it was 1999, this would be funny. Since it's 2009, it's just sad that there's someone whose life is so empty that they spent hours of their life making a video to cry about a decade old movie. If someone didn't like it, they didn't like it but it's time to move on and find something that they do like.
I've been around HTF long enough to know that for some people, there's never a good time to ridicule the PT--not now, not 5 years ago, not 10 years ago. /img/vbsmilies/htf/biggrin.gifOriginally Posted by TravisR /forum/thread/296068/a-new-amazing-thorough-and-hilarious-critique-of-the-phantom-menace#post_3640084
