I have often heard of peple griping about the Phantom Menace and how much they hate it and when asked, people will put it at the bottem of the list for liked Star wars movies. If you could change anything in the movie or even rewrite parts of it, what would you change in it and why?

I have to agree with some of the other answers. I would have had way more of Darth Maul, and way less of Jar Jar Binks. Overall though, I do like the movie.

The Phantom Menace was the movie that took 20yrs to debut. High expectations and the sense of that mid 1970s glory Star Wars brought to the movie industry got everyone hyped up. It's a good movie, but after episode IV was so great and V built up higher, and VI people couldn't believe it was so good!

If I could change something is keep Maul and maybe kill him in the begging of the second film. Make the beginning of the Phantom Menace the podrace or invasion of Naboo, and after introduce the clones and make the end the prelude to the upcoming clone wars. In the second one we see very little of the clone wars =(.

I haven't seen it in years I really want to see it again! :( still a good film.

I'd change the boy actor who played Anakin: there are better choices.

Most of the dialogue was stiff and unnatural. I'd add some humour, and I mean humour, not just physical clumsiness that is humorous to few people.

I'd change Jar-Jar Binks voice.

Overall, the movie was ok, but its message is not what the USA wants to hear now. We're living in ultra-conservative times, and at moments like these messages like Tolkien's (that conduct is pre-determined by race, for example) are much more popular.

LOTR is deeply conservative. SW is very liberal. I think that's why the former is much preferred over the latter now-a-days.

I would change Obi Wan's racist remark, "Not another pathetic lifeform." It is definitely uncalled for and not what I consider a Jedi attitude.

The main thing I would change in the last three movies was the actor who played Anikin in "The Attack Of The Clones" and "Revenge Of The Sith." For some reason it is too hard to believe that he turned into one of the baddest dudes in the universe.

I liked the movie a lot. Maybe the overexplanations with things like midichlorians were a bit much - I would take that out and just leave it to having blind faith in "the one that brings balance to the force" instead of having to have a reason for why....Just my opinion.

I wouldn't change anything about it. I think a lot of people didn't like it because they were used to the original characters. Plus, they already know the ending of it all. People don't like change.

Get rid of Jar Jar!

And make the dialogue smoother, particularly involving Natalie Portman (and her delivery of her dialogue).

I would eliminate Jar Jar Binks and I would have expanded Darth Maul's role. He was so intriguing.
