Jar Jar Binks is annoying, sure, but kid Anakin wasn’t all that intriguing as a character, either. We’re introduced to a very young Anakin, and we get to see him do some podracing while the older Jedi, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jin, need to settle a trade dispute. With all that said, The Phantom Menace definitely feels like it’s for children, which is why, as an adult who saw the movie at 16 when it first came out, it’s hard for me to find much enjoyment out of the film. In fact, that’s why I once wrote that parents should start with The Phantom Menace when introducing kids to the Saga, and I stick to that argument. (And that’s okay!) I mean, even George Lucas says that Star Wars is for 12-year-olds, so I’m not far off when I make that comment. Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menaceĭisagree with me all you want, but I think Star Wars is for children.
