Not to mention that Greedo has just plainly said "I don't care if you can get the money I'm going to shoot you and tell Jabba you couldn't pay up because I never liked you."

Oh god, you're right. I retire my Star Wars nerd credentials.

This is bullshit. Princess Leia wasn't in cell block AA-23. That's where Luke & Han claimed they were transferring Chewbacca from.

Maybe it's for the best, imagine if there had been another Indiana Jones and it turned out to be so bad that a reference to it replaced the phrase "jumped the shark".

I can't understand why they waited 32 years to make another Star Wars movie. It feels like if there had been some other, more recent entries in the franchise the expection and hype wouldn't be so rabid for this one.

You're not a terrible person, George. You just made 3 terrible movies.

Jill St. John in Diamonds Are Forever speaks to the teenage boy in me.

I bought some DVD copies of the laserdisc versions of the trilogy on eBay years back and they came with this on a 4th disc. I had no idea it existed before that time. I guess it didn't air in the UK where I grew up (can't imagine why).

Rei Toei?

I'm trying not to get too excited but if you compare the Force Awakens trailers with the Phantom Menace trailers:

The only kiddy bullshit part about Jedi is the ewoks. The 3 simultaneous battles at the end are fantastically handled & Jabba's palace is some crazy, sleazy stuff. The vast majority of Jedi is great. I can forgive the damn ewoks.

Anna Schmanna. Who's the girl closing the shop early at the start of the ad?

You realize this is a franchise where Darth Vader built C3PO, right?

It literally looks like all the worst things about LOTR (taking itself too seriously, endless swooping helicopter shots of CGI towers) crossed with all the worst things about Avatar (trite noble savage tropes masquerading as moral complexity). Then just when you thought it couldn't get any shitter they threw in the…

Maybe because it resembles this so much (and came out around the same time): https://youtu.be/15IRXKn9LSU

I'm still not convinced Luther isn't supposed to be a Naked Gun-like satire on the cop show format.

I had the exact same experience. I specifically recall saying something like "midichlorians? There's no way that's true, It sounds like something a hack like Dean Devlin would come up with".

The whole triple climax in Jedi is amazing.

Guess that explains the pout
