It actually shocked me people nowadays don't even know "white slavers" means human trafficking and not "slavers who are white".

Lucas is not Stan Lee. Lucas is Jack Kirby except he was able to get the rights to his creations and get rich, so he gets resented instead of championed. Like Lucas, Jack Kirby can come up with something as great as the Inhumans, Silver Surfer and Darkseid, and also something as dopey as Vermin Vundabar, Granny…

There were some prequel bashing in an episode during the Dan Harmon-less "gas leak" season of COMMUNITY which was ironic. Either that it was commenting on how crappy Episode I was by being intentionally crappy themselves.

There's a story, enough for Weird Al Yankovic to base around the "American Pie" melody on. It's not one most people like but there's a story.

Oooooookay. So this hate comes from a fan war thing. This is why I stopped going on ONTD.

Marcia Lucas did edit the final battle sequence.

"He claims artistic integrity as the ultimate ideal, but makes narrative decisions based on toy potential (a Return Of The Jedi plot point was changed because Lucas “didn’t see a big market in dead Han toys,” Harrison Ford reflects)."
That's just Harrison Ford's grumpy opinion of why nobody took his suggestion of…

Unbelievable. Why doesn't he hunt for painted eggs to celebrate Jesus like a normal person!

Wayne Knight had a pretty great run as a character in a lot of big films in the early 90s: JFK, DEAD AGAIN, BASIC INSTINCT, JURASSIC PARK, TO DIE FOR. I think once he became known more as "Newman" it ended that.

The circle works for the first STAR WARS(aka Episode IV A New Hope) which is why the movie is the only one in the series that can stand alone as a story. The circle also works for the entire classic trilogy of ANH, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and RETURN OF THE JEDI. Luke on Dagobah in EMPIRE is his journey into the…

The protagonist dies but order is restored or justice is done.

Another great example of this story structure is NORTH BY NORTHWEST.

No he's this guy:

Also John Ratzenberger(who later played Cliff Clavin on CHEERS) was in EMPIRE as mustachioed Rebel officer Major Derlin. When he tells Princess Leia "Your highness, there's nothing more we can do tonight. The shield doors must be closed." it's not in Ratzenberger's voice. It's dubbed even by someone else even though…

Another bit character I liked was the Rebel controller during the Death Star attack who says "Squad leaders, we've picked up a new group of signals. Enemy fighters coming your way." The way he says that one line, it's not frantic or over the top excited. He's calm but showing a healthy level of concern on his face as…

I love Red Leader. I liked how he gave his character a bit of a drawl.

I only recently realized the voice used to dub the Imperial officer who tells Darth Vader in the beginning that the plans weren't on board the ship and "no transmissions were made" is the same one used to dub Rebel General Dadonna, who gives the Death Star attack briefing later.

"Elizabeth comes this close to coining the term “resting bitch face.”

She's very feisty and acerbic in Peter Morgan's THE QUEEN.

I'm always surprised how NOT gravelly Campbell Scott's voice is considering he's the son of George C. Scott and Colleen Dewhurst.
