Lego Opee Sea Killer and Gungan Submarine by Pepa Quin.
(The Phantom Menace wasn't a good movie, but it had its moments and was packed with brilliant new vehicles and robots and monsters and characters and locations. Jar Jar was so incredibly annoying because he was a completely convincing character.
Episodes II and III were terrible movies and introduced very few memorable designs. Dooku's lightsaber and ship, and the Bodyguard droids are the only ones that come to mind. Grievous was very cool in the Tartakovsky cartoon, but mostly just weird in the movie.)
