If you watch all the movies in order like I did, you'll see a lot of fun little things and notice little touches you never had never noticed before.
I didn't like Episode I when I first saw it, but when I watched it again later, I realized it's actually a good movie. The problem was that it couldn't possibly have lived up to the hype (no movie could have). I still don't like Jar-Jar or Jake Lloyd's horrible acting, but they don't sink it. "The Phantom Menace" is a superbly crafted movie.
And I like Natalie's outfits in Episode II as well. I also liked the Clone Wars scene, but that's about it.
Same here about Episode I when I first saw it. Agree on Jar Jar.
Episode II should have took place during the middile of the clone wars themselves instead of taking place in the events leading up to it.
