That’s just like , uh , you’re opinion . Dude , you are literally commenting on a forum which was created with the expressed purpose of preserving his original vision , as well as that of his numerous collaborators who helped bring that vision to life and who’s work is sadly swept under the rug in favor of his numerous revisions …like those commentaries you mentioned . Kasdan not withstanding ,as those were snippets culled from other interviews . I don’t need a video ,or you , to tell me "how to watch Star Wars " , I know how to watch Star Wars , I load the tape into my VCR ,The disc into my DVD player or cue up some of the wonderful preservations created here .

That’s what I mean. If we’re supposed to hold ourselves to the standards of the purpose of the original intentions of the forum than we should just as much respect and understand George Lucas as we do his collaborators. It feels like sometimes people like to believe that Star Wars was great in spite of him but that couldn’t be further from the facts. The title for the video can be a little off putting I admit but that’s not exactly what it’s doing entirely. It’s merely giving a more grounded viewpoint on relying information directly from George and the films themselves versus say Red Letter Media who make false claims that are taken as absolute facts because they reinforce criticisms people already had with the films before they watched their reviews. Rick Worley challenges the common agreed upon consensus from mostly Original Trilogy fans. If some don’t want to go down that rabbit hole that’s fine and their choice, but I actively prefer watching his well researched videos versus the false claims I see time and time again by your typical YouTube critic who agrees with everything some already feel or make false claims that won’t be questioned because of it. Isn’t it just as important to challenge ourselves instead of finding people that always agree with everything we already feel? I feel it’s how we grow and learn. I already know what my opinion is. I don’t need the validation but it certainly is good to see the truth come out.
