Ryan George is hilarious and his Pitch Meetings are the funniest thing on the internet

Maybe try keeping your daily intake under a pint if you fear the revenge of a fifth. Okay, Rooster?

That said, there are two good Star Wars sequels to be had out of the three Disney made. If…

1) You retcon SW VI and Luke does indeed kill his father and take his father’s place at the Emperor’s side, so that …

2) The Ben/Rey story arc becomes the Luke/Leia story arc.

Here’s a contrarian view; I agree with Alec Guiness–they’re all rubbish, from I on up. Not valid scifi by any means. Space operas..and with no good singers. Unfortunately I had to see the first and second with my kids…no more after that.

The original trilogy is fun rubbish. The prequel trilogy is self-important rubbish. The sequel trilogy is deconstructionist/feminist rubbish.

I actually saw an interview with the good Sir Guiness. It looked like a late life interview. The whole of the interview made it sound a bit less rough. He talked about how dazzling the finished product was, and how it swept the viewer up with its optimistic vision. He still talked of it being fairy tale rubbish and all, but in context it wasn’t quite as bad as the isolated quote makes it sound. It seemed the thing that bothered him most was that people – especially young people – only knew him from these movies, and not the full body of his work.

A fine selection of videos, Don. I will restrain myself and post only 1 fan film.

I STILL maintain that “Troops” is better than the three Prequels and the three movies set after the Return of the Jedi.

I’ve heard that as well, that he worried about the obsession that some fans had. I seem to recall a story about some kid running up to him and the kid’s mom there or something. Not the details, just that he was bothered by the obsession. But then, this was a decade after The Beatles, the Stones, and that era where people went crazy for anything and everything under the sun (as they did, it’s worth noting, with some of Sir Guiness’s contemporaries back in the day).

As additional penance, I watched The Rise of Skywalker.
