Alright, just finished watching the entire 70 minute presentation. Yeah, some of the humor is odd and could be left out, but it does help to lift the spirits in parts. Such as in the end, when he is regaling how great ANH was compared to the stagnant TPM, I couldn't help but feel very depressed and saddened that a part of my childhood had been shit on. Then that pizza roll popped up and kind of reminded me that "eh, it's just a movie in the end and no real vital part of your life". So, yeah, the humor is appropriate at times.

Which is why I thank god that I first saw the Star Wars trilogy when I was in middle school and that it wasn't the great cinematic part of my childhood experience (that honor belongs to The Dark Crystal and other works by Jim Henson).

If i remember correctly Gary Kurtz was a producer on the Dark Crystal, he did not produce return of the jedi only star wars and empire strikes back.

Also is the rumor true that Lucas originally wanted Henson to be Yoda, or that Henson did dark crystal because he could not get the rights to lord of the rings which were tied up at the time. It is also rumored both Lucas and Spielberg at one point wanted to direct Lord of the Rings, instead Lucas had Ron Howard direct Willow.

I am glad George Lucas did not direct the lord of the rings trilogy and Peter Jackson directed them because he would have destroyed Lord of the Rings the same way he has destroyed both star wars and indiana jones.

I mean they may as well do a special edition of the dark crystal and replace the puppets with cgi and stick Jar Jar and Yoda in there somewhere,lol.

Just kidding it was a way of reminding that the special editions of star wars are garbage and so are the prequels. Man i so much wish i could forget they ever happened, it would be nice for my memories to be intact and not crapped upon.
