TPM extras and rambling...
I broke down recently and bought The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones on DVD. It's been interesting, browsing through the extras -- the making-of featurettes, the promo photos, the trailers.
Does anyone else think that the TPM trailer plot would have made for a *much* better movie, what with the implication that the Jedi are going into the haul out a queen and a senator during an invasion?
What about the 'tone poems' tv spots? Am I the only one who thinks 'One Love' ( reads like a 'Kramer vs. Kramer' with added spaceships? )
It's really easy to see why fans write fic, and even make personal edits (The Phantom Edit, among others)... the film has *so* much potential, and you're left scratching your head over why it's so *dull*.
