By the time the director realized 'Episode I' was "a very hard movie to follow," it was too late.

Oof. Talk about putting the rough in rough cut. George Lucas was not thrilled after he saw a rough cut of 1999's Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. In fact, he appeared so perplexed by the climax of the film, he told the small screening room he "may have gone too far in a few places." With Star Wars: The Last Jedi polarizing fans, but continuing to dominate the box office, Heat Vision looks back at a making-of featurette that was included on The Phantom Menace DVD, which showed Lucas, in part ... had a bad feeling about this.

There are multiple little moments in the interesting hourlong "The Beginning: Making Episode I" to mention, such as when Lucas told Frank Oz during a shot setup that they would "never catch Titanic" at the box office, but it is footage of the candid chatter after the rough cut screening that is somewhat surprising. Critics did not care for the film (it holds a 55 percent on Rotten Tomatoes) and fans were also pretty disappointed in the final product (it holds a 59 percent audience score). Thus, the angry fan cliche George Lucas "ruined my childhood" was born. One of the larger complaints, besides Jar Jar, was the disjointed climax of the film. And it seems Lucas and crew had that same reaction. However, by the time it was realized, it was too late, according to the footage on the DVD special feature.
