Despite the massive hype, The Phantom Menace did turn out to just leave fans with their heads scratched. The iconic inclusions of Darth Maul and the Jedi Council came at the expense of so much political and trade talk, which deflated much of the fun. Jar Jar Binks became one of the most recognizable worst villains in movie history. Although the film was a visual marvel in its day, the overreliance on CGI alienated the fans who yearned for the gritty charm of the original trilogy.
