Some tried their best to feign a smile, harboring their despair for years. Then it hit theaters-and reactions were all over the place. Fever for Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace was hitting new highs leading up to the unleashing of TPM. People were taking drastic measures, camping out for weeks just to be among the first to glimpse at an all new installment of Star Wars. Saw the release of, quite possibly, the most anticipated movie of all time.
