If you think this guy didn’t single-handedly save the PT, and elevate them from trash to merely tolerable, you better get your facts straight before you say stupid stuff. If you think this is a ridiculous opinion, don’t flatter yourself, as I am merely doing my usual job - correcting people who are wrong. If you think Ric Olie isn’t the greatest thing since sabered bread, I have to ask “U okay my friend?”
Think about this…one of the worst sins of the PT, but one not discussed often, is how boring, uninteresting, and unattractive the characters are. For every annoying Jar Jar, there’s a bland Panaka. For every wooden Queen Amidala, there’s a nothing-to-do pregnant Padme. But Ric Olie transcended all of that. If you don’t see it, then the awfulness of the rest of the PT corrupted you I guess.
If you think there was anything good about the PT, and it doesn’t involve Ric Olie, don’t embarrass yourself. You might think I once had those kind of positive thoughts about the PT, but I never had them in the first place. I am a decent person.
You might be thinking, “Well, ‘the best thing about the PT’ is such a lame phrase. There is not such thing as the best thing about the PT. Films are an art and it all boils down to individual opinion.” Unfortunately, I am here to tell you that the only thing you need to know here is that it is none of your business to know something that had nothing to do with you. And Ric Olie is the only other thing you need to know.
Don’t despair, I don’t hate you if you don’t understand the truth of this post. I am just realistic. You might think there is some other tiny part of the PT that is worth anything, but if it doesn’t involve Ric Olie, it has zero relevance, and I am just correcting your misconception.
Now please wake up and fasten your seatbelt as we are about to land in Reality.
