I liked both The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.
Each is very enjoyable and rewatchable.
Don't complain about stiff acting and clumsy lines if you liked A New Hope.
I liked the last one about the clones. The one before that was so boring I literally could not finish watching it.
I am not a trekkie type, but I guess by "A new hope" you mean the first one.
I have no idea how good the acting was in it. It was a very very good movie. Maybe great acting is not necessary.
Love the screen name! Why didnt I think of that? Although Darth doesnt work for Reagan because he was against the evil empire ;-).
I loved TPM and ATOC too and Im not ashamed to admit it. Although TPM was the worst of all 5. Star Wars is known for its dumb dialogue. I mean come on, "You rebel scum." or "2 transports against a star destroyer?" The cheesy dialogue is what makes it great.
