Other than Jar Jar and maybe killing off Darth Maul, Phantom wasn’t all that bad.

Howie Manziel OTOH, made it clear Jar Jar would be a better QB.

I think PM made a huge fortune and created a lot of new characters. My daughter loved it. I have come to like it more for all it accomplished. Much more than the next 2.

JM on the other hand had a bad debut in real terms.

Main character Anakin in the movie was a cross between Nicholas on Eight is Enough and Will Robinson on Lost in Space. Okay, he's got the Force, so he can take some rocks and some Tatooine twine and a couple of rusty droids and make a pod racer better than anyone else on the planet, maybe in the galaxy. Okay . . . . .

Also, we really didn't need his mum trying to maintain that there was no dad, that's dicey territory, and made me and a lot of other people uncomfortable. It doesn't even help the backstory, but is rather a distraction. Jar Jar is just a side show compared to these central problems.
