    The Phantom menace pops to mind. Just that teaser with the gungans on their mounts, walking in the fog was enough to get every one on board for a new star wars series.

    It wasn’t a very good series, but it did lead to greater things and was a success by all accounts.

      Weird how so many talked shit about Phantom Menace but I saw it 4 times in a packed theater and was pumped everytime.

        I was 12 and I all I remember thinking was double sided lightsabers are cool. Which was disappointing as I was a huge Star wars fan. I don’t think I really liked it that much but going to the movies was always a big deal.

          The ending was great, Darth maul, space battlesl and the droid army but but takes a while to get there, pod racing was neat
