All I did was lament Worley’s video, comment about how Worley has the ego of Ego the Living Planet (‘cause he does), and sarcastically restate one of his defenses. Most Prequel fans don’t take the position of, “The Prequels are good because they quote better movies”.

For example, Worley brings up parallels between Anakin’s fall, Frankenstein 1931, Bride of Frankenstein, and Metropolis. I love Frankenstein and Bride (haven’t seen Metropolis yet) and I think it’s cool that Lucas thematically tied elements to the movies, it doesn’t answer the criticisms of Anakin’s fall. Everyone knows that Anakin turned because he wanted to cheat death and became a monster because of it. That’s a great concept actually (IMO). Nobody was criticizing that, but rather the writing of Anakin’s path to choosing that.

Also for some reason Worley thinks that just because you quote a shot from another movie it means you’re implementing the themes from that movie into yours. Like when he acts like the droid factory scene is now about “the dehumanization of factory workers” because some shots are similar to “Modern Times”. Sorry, no, you actually have to implement that theme into the film on it’s own, without leaning on another film.
