I’d honestly rather prefer that the video was a 2 hour exploration into the editing of the film instead of this odd take-down. The constant replaying of footage and overanalysing of minor wording within the script got tiring.

This is probably the most common criticism of the video I hear, that it nitpicked a lot of small errors in RocketJump’s video. But I honestly think it’s really sad that our standards for journalism not just for film but pretty much everything have become so low. When you have a video that makes bold claims such as this, idk, I think it can be a good idea to check the name of the source to see if they exaggerate their credibility by referring themselves as a film school, and to see if their grammar and diction would be passable by 8th grade Language Arts teachers. When you start to notice a pattern of poor quality across these other metrics, that poor attention to detail probably bleeds into the actual accuracy of their information.

And while I believe Nerdnonymous is making an important point about how oblivious people can be the the signs of poor journalism, I also just had a lot of fun with his sarcastic rebuttals to RocketJump’s annoying, nonsensical attempts to throw jabs at George Lucas.
