IMO, Bonesaw is better-suited for a spinoff "movie," as his profession of pro-wrestling is both more cinematic and lends to action set-pieces that would help break up the drama there'd be otherwise (ala "The Wrestler" or "Rocky"/"Creed"). Mr. Ditkovich, I feel, would work better on a TV sitcom.

The Mr. Dinkovich movie would be awful! A bone saw movie would be awesome!

Phantom Menace is at least some what original, Force Awakens is an inferior remake Why watch Force Awakens when I can watch A New Hope instead?

I’m fine watching either one but this film has better moments and more interesting failures

Epic lightsaber duels and nostalgia factor.

In my opinion, "The Force Awakens" was, as George approximates it, a "nostalgic" movie that, imo, for the first time since the prequels, regressed the franchise. "The Phantom Menace," (and KOTOR) pushed the needle forward, rethinking what Star Wars could be, adding many iconic elements to the lore.

The other two sequel movies ruined Force Awakens for me, and at least with Phantom Menace I fall asleep every time I watch it, so I get to see about the first half, which is nice.

The way George made his films feel like a 1930s Shakespearean serial is astounding, and Phantom Menace is both fun and thought provoking in its narrative. Now this is Star Wars!

The prequels are the Star Wars films I grew up with. While The Force Awakens is probably an objectively better film, how the Sequel Trilogy turned out as a whole ruins the films individually for me. Phantom Menace is just pure nostalgia for me. Plus pod racing and that final light saber duel!
