For the record, I'm not angry so much as I am endlessly amused.  This is absolutely fucking hilarious.

 :advice:

That is exactly the right attitude to have about pretty much everything.

Except rape and the holocaust and shit.

I agree that it's ironic that somebody who fought so hard against the colorization of films is now addicted to repeatedly altering his OWN films.  As I did when South Park made that point a decade ago.

However, editing your own films isn't PRECISELY the same thing as buying up the rights to a bunch of other people's films and editing THEM.  Lucas's position may be ironic, but it's not logically inconsistent.  (Except, I suppose, in the case of Empire, which he did not direct.)

Bit slow on the uptake on this one, but...it's just occurred to me that, at least, Empire is the one he fucked with LEAST in the rereleases.

I like how the guy who threw the star destroyer looks completely horrified at the end.

There's some dull bits, but Jess Harnell doing Christopher Walken R2D2 is absolutely amazing. Every voice actor there was also incredibly nice and seemed frankly amazed at the ridiculous signing lines they had.

You know how bad comedy movies put all the funniest parts in the trailer so you think it is funny, but then you go and see it and that was every good part crammed into a few minutes?

This feels like that, except they couldn't find enough funny parts to fill the whole thing.

And by enough I mean any.

I kind of liked that part where the fat alien man told Leia her mom had terrible taste in everything.

I liked the Wilhelm Scream.  And also, points if that "dancin' fool" line was a reference to the fact that Zappa was originally asked to score the movie.  But yes, it says something that obscure nerd references are the things that pop out at me.

It looks legitimately awful.  Like, possibly even Spaceballs: TAS levels of awful.

When I heard "sitcom set in the Star Wars universe" I thought that could actually work.  I still do.  This is more like "jokes that weren't good enough for Family Guy or Robot Chicken".

S04E01, "Water War" -- Jose Molina (writer for Firefly)

Another one where the writing is completely overshadowed by the storyboarding.  It's pretty compelling in its depiction of an underwater infantry battle.  The writing?  Not much to it.

Though there ARE bits of it to praise -- it helps place the Galactic Civil War into a larger context, that there are worlds all over the galaxy erupting in violence and upheaval.  And while on the one hand you can treat Captain Ackbar's use as mere "Hey look, a familiar character!" you can also put it into the context of the essential role reversal that occurs between the two trilogies: once the Republic is subsumed by the Empire, the people who were FIGHTING the separatists BECOME separatists.

All in all?  Meh, there are better episodes.

Yeah, the big underwater hoobajoob at the start of Season 4 kinda killed my interest in the show.  Because that's a three parter for some goddamn reason, and I did not care about anything happening in it.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Aw crap, it just keeps going?  Well that's no good.

Now, if it had just ended on the [spoiler]"Guess what?  They lost"[/spoiler] note, that would have been a lot stronger.

When Kit Fisto is involved you have to stretch things out a little.
