Why pay out the ass to see one, maybe two cool scenes in this entire film? And you can't even enjoy the lightsaber duel because it's sandwiched between a giant, editing cluster**** of an ending.
The editor of Episode I TOLD Lucas, to his face, in the screening room, that the ending was convoluted (Qui-Gon dies, cut to Jar-Jar being a stupid ass, cut to Jake Lloyd, back to Maul, etc.) and didn't work emotionally. Then Lucas just blew him off and claimed the ending was "stylistic."
