I've been watching for a while and it's very enjoyable and relevant to our recent discussions here, but the actual review doesn't start until deep into the video. Just a warning for those who only want what the title says, you'll have to stick around a while or fast forward. I'm not one of those, so I'm watching the whole thing.

yep, I previewed the first 10 minutes and really enjoyed it, even though (or maybe because) it had nothing to do with a TFA review. Going to stream the rest of it on my TV with the missus.

Pfft.  Crackpot.  This is just like those Shining / Apollo 11 hoax theories.  Grasping at straws that aren't even there.

Lots of Smoke in that video, and possibly in the reviewers room...

Still made a better case than the Prequels Strike Back.

I'm just not much for the psychoanalysis of the visuals of Star Wars that were presented in the first couple minutes before I exited out of the video. I like my Star Wars unfreud.

It's worth watching through to the end.  Trust me.  You'll laugh.

That was a note-perfect satire of these types of internet fan videos.

So you missed the part where he proved Vader said "No. 1 Dad Is Vader."

I'd guess that many people dislike the video because of the satire, as they were most likely expecting someting ala fanatical presentations by stupendous wave or star wars theory. Being a psych major in the past, I just have a vehement dislike for anything that is freudian in presentation, unless it's Star Trek TNG : Phantasms ;)

pmsl, if someone couldn't tell that was satire in the first minute, maybe the internet isn't for them.

My favorite part:

"the landspeeder is puberty!

"And here he is watching a bunch of smoke."

I saw where it was going after a little bit but this still caught me off guard. I lol'd. Not sure if it was the wording, or the juxtaposition of the serious visual with the silly audio. Iz gut.

Anyone read this Huffpost interview with Genndy Tartakovsky before?
http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/1884046

Speaking of your version of “Clone Wars,” does it bother you that there’s another one and that the one you did seems to no longer be canon?
Yeah. I mean, you know, of course it bothers me. But, you know, it’s George’s characters. It’s his world and he has to do what he has to do. And the new ones are totally inspired by what we did: A lot of the same character designs and stuff.

Does that part bother you, too?
No, again, it’s not my characters, so he can do whatever he wants. And the story was also that I was going to do it. I was going to go to Lucas and be their John Lasseter-type of person and do a feature and supervise the “Star Wars” television show. And things kind of fell apart, blah blah blah. But, yeah, I’m super proud of what we did. And I felt like we did a justice to “Star Wars” and as a fan.

It looks like we almost had a Tartakovsky lead vision of Star Wars. Sad, as those clone wars shorts were phenomenal. Not really a fan of Mr. Akubra hat.

Finally caught up with Plinkett's TFA review, and on the whole, it was disappointingly meh. As with the similarly dull Titanic review, the character just doesn't really work if he's not tearing the movie apart (though the Star Trek: The Star Trek review was damn good). Didn't like the whining about diversity, but I did appreciate the section on how sexless and therefore sterile the movie is; that's a great point I hadn't thought of.

^ agree it was ok. of course the RML prequel reviews were brilliant and insightful. one unnecessary part of the TFA review was the touting of how brilliant and insightful the prequel reviews were.

This edit of the intro space battle of revenge of the Sith by Kyro91 is probably the best I've seen. I'm not much for the extra voices, but the video editing and narrative are pretty good.

Funny how I noticed it was Aalenfae's version just by looking at the thumbnail.
