I thought the story of Phantom was so much better as well...
Which part?
The part where a Trade Federation is blockading a planet to protest increases in taxes (Which would have benefited them financially)?
The part where the blockade can't seem to stop the Queen's ship from escaping? Furthermore, how did the shield generator even get hit while the shields were up? Also, how were they "sitting ducks" when the ship never even gets hit again once the shields go down and the droids take 2 minutes to go out and fix said shields?
The part where said planet, with a giant ass reactor (The one the Jedi/Maul fight takes place in) doesn't have the technology or resources to survive during this blockade? Why do they keep talking about their situation being so dire?
The part where the Senate had no idea what was going on in Naboo, despite the fact this civilization possesses technology to communicate and travel great distances in a short period of time?
The part where the Droid Army decided to land on the other side of the damn planet to start their invasion (The side with the Gungans) rather than land right outside the Capital?
The part where Palpatine tells the Trade Federation he wants the treaty signed, despite the fact that would have ended the conflict and completely destroyed his plan to get a vote of no confidence and eventually become the Emperor?
The part where Anakin built a Protocol Droid (C3P0) for his mother when his mother had no use for a Protocol Droid?
The part where the Trade Federation decided to use a very visible gas to try and kill the Jedi at the beginning of the movie, instead of poisoning the tea they served them instead?
The part where the Trade Federation never fingers anyone as the mastermind behind the entire invasion? You would think space detectives could use those holograms of Darth Sidious to trace it to Palpatine. Further, what are they getting out of the deal by following Palpatine's plot?
The part where the Senate sent the Jedi's to investigate the situation on Naboo, which was setup as part of Palpatine's ploy to usurp power, and Palpatine decides to have the Jedi killed before they can complete that mission?
The part where Obi Wan and Qui Gon showed their ability to use Force Run on the Trade Federation ship to move quickly away from the droids, but Obi Wan never bothers to use it during the fight with Darth Maul to get through that corridor with the force fields and save Qui Gon?
The part where Qui Gon decides to check with the smaller junk dealers first to find the new part for the ship, and he believes Watto, the very first vendor he talks to, that he's the only one with the part? Who manipulated who with a Jedi Mind Trick there?
The part where Qui Gon wanted to keep a low profile in Mos Espa, so he decides to take Jar Jar Binks with him?
The part where George Lucas made up some stupid shit and created Midi-chlorians, completely ruining the Force?
