11. “Episode I: The Phantom Menace” We waited 16 years for George Lucas to return to this universe, and what did we get?

Trade routes and political intrigue, blood tests for the Force, and perhaps worst of all, Jar Jar Binks. “Menace” isn’t terrible because it’s a kid’s movie; it’s terrible because it’s a terrible kids movie.Highlight: The light-saber battle between Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and Darth Maul (Ray Park) – they’re the two most interesting characters the movie has to offer, so naturally both get killed off before the closing credits roll.Worst Part: Any utterance of the word “Yippee!” whether by Jar Jar or by pre-pubescent Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd).Also Read: 'Star Wars': How the First 6 Films Performed at Box OfficeFox10. “Episode II: Attack of the Clones” A slight improvement over its predecessor, in the same way that a stubbed toe hurts less than a migraine.
