Slime Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 70 minute review? I'd say that's about 69 minutes 30 seconds more thought than Lucas gave to the actual movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I urge you to carry on to the other parts when you have the time. The comparision of the light sabre duels in the early films to the later ones is spot on.

Godeater2112 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The whole thing is great and very funny. Very sad too though, being reminded of how badly they butchered one of the most creative and captivating franchises on Earth. My least favorite thing about the new trilogy, and IMO one of the stupidest inexcusable pointless mistakes in film history was the utterly inane bullshit about the FORCE being like bacteria levels in the body. Someone should have a cheese grater taken to their eyes for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeedy sir, one hundred and ten precent agreed! What's to stop the average non-force sensitive Joe from just injecting himself with a ton of midi chlorians and becoming an ultimate uber Jedi? And don't tell me they'd be impossible to get, all you'd need is a shed skin cell or hair from a Jedi and take it somewhere like the planet where they cloned Jango Fett umpteen thousand times and it'd be no problem to mass-produce! Within about five years pretty much everyone would be able to use the force. Lucas just shot himself in the foot over and over and over in the prequels, the dumbass.

JUST when the IOC (Intergalactic Olympic Committee) finally found a way to test for human growth hormone HGH, now they have this miniaccordion shit to deal with! Jeeeeeez! Anyway anyone with a crass sense of humor and/or any interest at all in the Star Wars universe I highly suggest you watch these videos - what a great find!

Yeah, I love the original trilogy! I was 13 when Star Wars premiered and it had a big effect on me. It was the first sci-fi movie I'd ever seen that I could actually relate to. I liked Empire and Jedi as well. It's the prequel trilogy that makes me want to stab out my own eyes with a fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
