On Phantom Menace nostalgia:

Objectively it's a curate's egg. Some parts are very good (score, lightsaber duels) but it does not cohere. Lucas needed someone to say no here and there. But it's hard to divorce the movie from Gen X's experience of it in 1999 as the first new Star Wars in 16 years.

Having said that, the score is truly next level, the only one of the prequels' that was (other two were mostly tracked and re-used cues).

Did you notice that the parade music at the end is the Emperor's theme arranged as upbeat and jubilant? That's where Williams was operating. Just genius.
