I am part of a very small splinter group when it comes to Star Wars fanboys: I don’t outright hate Episode I: The Phantom Menace. I know that geek society expects me to instantly vomit in my own mouth a little at just the the thought of George Lucas’ much-derided first prequel film, but I really don’t. Kind of. Because …
