Apology Accepted, George Lucas.

WATCH THIS BEFORE COPYRIGHT CLAIMS TAKE THIS OFF YOUTUBE!

Okay, okay.  I really can’t stop watching this.  You need to see this.  It is very, very important.  Keep in mind, it is 70 minutes long.  I warn you, because once you start- you will not be able to stop watching, or laughing, or shaking your head in sad rememberance.

I have spent a lot of time over the last 10 plus years since this film came out, and I have to say, my memories had obviously acquired a rosy-tint.  I thought, yeah, it wasn’t great, but was it THAT bad?

Yes.  Yes it is.

I loved Lucas’ appearance on the Daily Show recently.  I even felt a little bad for all the fan-hate over the last decade.  That’s over now.

What the reviewer here has managed to create here is a tight, smart, funny dissection of everything that went wrong w/ the prequels.  (And yes I realize that 70 minutes might not seem tight, but believe me, it breezes by.)  I’d almost guarantee that this will end up being discussed in any good film-making class at some point this year.  This is SMART.

Remember, ONE MILLION views in just over 4 weeks can’t be wrong.  This is film criticism at it’s best and most inventive.

What could possibly top that? Well- lookee here-

WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOUR FACE?
