It could be an album, movie, tv show, whatever.

Man, Phantom Menace being the worst Star Wars movie when it came out is like George W. Bush being the dumbest US president: those were simpler times, somehow.

I'll say the prequels aged better than I'd remembered them, though. And they get a lot better with the existing fanedits, especially HAL9000's take on Episode I, which trims a lot of the dumb humour, dials down the Jar Jar antics significantly and tightens the plot a nice bit, to make it more of a classic Star Wars adventure.

    Yeah, at least the prequels had an actual story to them and were cohesive with each other. The sequels are just a jumbled mess with each director doing their own thing. I’d take the prequels over the sequels any day.

    I think Topher Grace was behind an edit that only used about ten minutes of episode one.

    Yes! That's what actually got me into Star Wars fanedits and fanedits in general, he made the whole prequel trilogy into a unified experience. Saw one based on his editing notes and liked it, but through the years I've come to enjoy other takes from the movies, as well.
