Mike G.'s style is kind of Like John Williams in Star Trek 2009, the composer.  Even he has claimed a link to Williams Star Wars music, much like The Incredibles was a nod to Barry and Shiffrin.

Surprisingly he is doing the music for star tours II.

They posted a trailer for the Episode III review on facebook. It should also be on their site. They also posted a making of the trailer on facebook.

Why not just call it the RedLetterMedia Reviews Thread

RLM's reviews are probably the only things I watch on the internet more than porn.

That's such a brilliantly obvious and logical idea,

Is it? From what I recall, C-3PO was built to help Shmi at home, not at the shop. And R2-D2 belonged to the Queen's Ship, where he was indeed useful. This is a perfect example of searching nits to pick. That's why his reviews are all BS.

How the hell was C3PO supposed to help a slave? She didn't exactly seem like she was in the line of work that would require a snooty robot that translates. C3PO would be more useful for somebody important, who goes across the stars speaking to creatures with bizarre languages, like pamadalan.

Have you even seen Star Wars? The versions I most remember involved C3PO whining and complaining every time anything happened. The only time he was ever useful was as a translator.

I think the only droid Shmi needed was a Gonk droid, because it looks like it can get the job done on those lonely nights.

So, are you saying that a protocol droid couldn't help her with house work? Or that a astromech droid was more suitable for the task? Anyway, it's not like the kid had much of a choice. He found the remains, and built it in secret.

Of course he would. Who's to say that the queen didn't have one? R2 was not her personal droid, he happened to be on a starship, where he rightfuly belongs.

Are you judging the kid's choice based on the droid's future self? Is Anakin supposed to know how C-3PO will be 30 years later?!

RLM explained that it wouldn't make sense for Anakin to construct Threepio to help Shmi by observing that a protocol droid wouldn't be much use in the home.

That's his personal opinion. Where did he observe that?

Chewtobacca said:

If Lucas has to have Anakin build one of the two droids, it is more logical for him to build Artoo (to help himself)

But he didn't build the droid to help himself at the store, but his mother at home. If he needed a droid at the store, Watto would have provided one.

Chewtobacca said:

a ruler might reasonably be expected to have more use for an interpreter than a mechanical droid on a day-to-day basis.

R2 served the queen on a day-to-day basis?! Where? And I thought they only met on the ship after he did a task that he was built to do.

I'm done, no need to bother arguing with the closed minded.

Is that an "Hal argument"?

Chewtobacca said:

It's the part where he quotes Threepio saying that he's not much more than an interpreter and says he doesn't say he washes dishes.  Watch the review again.  RLM does explain why he doesn't think that a protocol droid would be useful for Shmi.

Yet we know that protocol droids can drive vehicles and pilot starships, things that they were not made to do. Like I said, all he does is searching nits to pick, and that's hardly called a review.

Chewtobacca said:

I know that.  I already said that if a Protocol droid wouldn't help his mother and Lucas wanted Anakin to build a droid, a more logical scenario was the one I outlined.

Right... A gonk is way more helpful...

I never said that Artoo did.

Then what did you meant with your first post? It's not like the movie says anything otherwise.

Chewtobacca said: 

I was outlining an alternative more logical scenario in which Anakin constructs Artoo in the films and the Queen is in possession of Threepio because she has a need for a protocol droid as a translator to help with her diplomatic functions.

I fail to see how one is more logical than the other. Is a protocol droid supposed to be with her when she was arrested? Why is it so hard to believe that a protocol droid can help at home?
