And you think the prequels were bad or had cringeworthy Dialogue Clone Wars was the worst piece of trash to ever come out of the star wars canon.  Skyguy, Stinky and Artooie.

Don't forget "punky muffin".

The term is "nuke the fridge". Same meaning as "jump the shark", but for movies instead of TV shows. It will be obvious to most of you where it comes from.

When did Star Wars nuke the fridge? Ewoks? Jar Jar? Midichlorians? This forum needs the option to create a poll!

The Ewoks (in ROTJ) weren't great but they were ok. Star Wars still held it together then. ROTJ was a cool film. I love that film. The fridge got nuked with the 1997 SE cutesey-comical cgi Jabba. That's the turning point. Really, we should have all seen the writing on the wall then and realized the sort of thing that was coming, but I don't think people could dream Lucas was going to screw up the prequels as bad as he did.

When it really made me livid, however, was in 2004 when the prequel crap started invading the OT. That's just unforgivable.

 

Yeah, sticking the crap from the shitty new films into the great old ones that should never have been touched at all, least of all made to fit the prequels. Sebastian Shaw replaced with Hayden is one of the worst things ever done to Star Wars, and Jason Wingreen was great as Boba Fett, he didn't need to be replaced with a lacklustre performance from Morrison. And that Gungan stuck into ROTJ seems to me to be a deliberate giving the finger to the fans, considering George knows how much the fans hated Jar Jar.
