realcaseyrollins OP ,

Subtitles for most movies are really easy to find online. I use subtitlist.net for this, and Subtitle Edit for obscure items in my collection that don't have publicly available subtitles online.

If you put the SRT files in the same directory as your items, with the same name, PLEX should pull it and use it as the subtitle for the movie or episode it belongs to.

Same! I have a physical media collection as well as a digital media collection.

Honestly, I was slightly let down by the experience fidelity-wise. Because of the CGI used, many elements were blurry here and there and because of the composite shots combining real elements with CGI, there were some moments where for example Jar Jar Binks would be blurry but the background would look normal. Also there were these weird pixelated colored dots that'd appear onscreen every five minutes or so.

But hey the audio was fine and the movie is WAY better than I remember.

Yeah I was also surprised at how entertaining it was (although I’m beginning to think that the pod race sequence was basically ripped from the 1959 Ben-Hur chariot race sequence lol).

One of Lucas' strengths is having a good eye for earlier material and being able to weave it into a sci-fi setting. Ben Hur's chariot race is still exciting, and the best bit in the movie.

That clip of The Acolyte made me excited too, although a bit wistful since we won’t be able to see the series in theaters at all. That would be so much fun. I have a fair bit of faith in it despite all the noise because some of the writers have written House Of The Dragon and Mr. Robot episodes, I think if the show ends up being bad they’d have to have done that on purpose lol. Review bombing the trailers is completely ridiculous.

It looked great and thr fight choreography looked on point - it was an interesting contrast to Duel of the Fates, which really raised the bar for lightsaber battles.

I haven't seen this theatrical re-release but I saw it when it opened back in '99. There was no way it could live up to the hype of a brand new Star Wars film after about 16 years.

I bought the DVD and watched it a couple more times and then forgot about it. I bought the Blu-rays in late 2020, and watched the prequel trilogy again for the first time in over a decade.

I think Phantom Menace held up the best, possibly because the healthy amount of practical work. The CGI of the sequels hasn't held up so well.

My review of the Episode one from 2020.
