On a certain level, she’s not wrong.

“Smart people develop smart solution for a piece of entertainment ephemera.”

I fully identify with the Off the Shed sketch now as a 42 yr old father of 3 boys (11, 12, 13) living a decidedly comfortable middle class life.

Also, William is the spitting image of Prince Phillip.

Wrong.

Indeed.  Well said.

We heard you the first time.

I agree. Lucasfilms should have hopefully learned their lesson after midis in
Ep1 and the (in my opinion) retconning of Rey from Ep8 to Ep9.  But wishful thinking is for birds, I guess.

At certain moments/angles he was giving me Josh Radnor vibes.  Maybe that’s the ‘punchable-ness’ you sensed?

But...really...aren’t all mustaches dopey?  I see no purpose other than costuming.

You must be fun at parties.

Especially in the context of pop culture.

Likely. That applies easily to people born 1978-1981, in my opinion, since I was born in 1978 and the youngest of three children of two War Babies (which can be a distinct, if small, group [1940-1944] from Boomers).

You’re not wrong.  Many things are ‘fine’.

The central thesis then is:

100% agreed. I took my oldest to it for his 3rd birthday and I left really worried whether I should ever get rid of my three boys’ toys.

Agreed.  Good storytelling, etc, etc.

I was 21 when it came out and my major issue (in real time watching in the theater) was like “Midichlorians? Really? Way to kill the cool mysticism, Lucas.”

I’m a sucker for good fourth wall breaks.
