For further comic effect, I think the interviewer should have had a pink glowing special effect superimposed on his microphone the whole time, ala Jefferson Starship's part in The Star Wars Holiday Special.

Incidentally, I had a good laugh watching that. It's a bit long for the joke and should probably be trimmed down a bit, but the recreation of the scene at the end was especially hilarious.

I didnt know the darth vader NOOOOOOOOOOOO! destroyed the entire credibility of SW.

On a side note, some say the Ewok battle destroys the credibility of SW.(sigh) I guess I have to not like Jedi to be a respected voice (it was better than the PT)

For my part, I don't agree that "NOOOOO!" destroyed ROTS, let alone the whole SW saga. All I thought was that it was a little weak, and should have been more like a primal scream. But the documentary is still funny, using that as a larger symbol of all that has gone wrong.

I also don't feel (like most people do) that Jar Jar destroyed TPM. Its flaws run far deeper than that, and Jar Jar wasn't even the worst symptom.

All the scenes toward the end of AOTC with the digital Threepio really make me cringe. I love Threepio, but that was too much. The flying Artoo irritates me, too. Apart from this and the stilted love scenes, I enjoy most of that film.

Ewoks... well, I don't hate them, but I do agree they were the weakest point in ROTJ.

And the Boba Fett cartoon in the Holiday Special is the weak point in that film - the one thing that really prevented it from being the 100% complete crapfest it was meant to be. Such a shame they had to include that part.

I've not seen the last two movies, so a lot of that is lost on me (as is most prequel talk). However, I did do a search and found the scene on the internet - it's amazingly weak and laughable. That is a funny piece, though.

Same here- I couldn't believe that whole scene. It was embarrassingly bad. That, and Yoda fighting Christopher Lee. AOTC is the worst of the PT, IMO.

Lets just face it: Lucas destroyed the credibility of SW.

I didn't mind the digital threepio slapstick. At least he was more in character than he was in TPM.

Honestly, he shouldn't have been a character in the prequels at all. The screen time he had in AOTC was just embarrassing, especially his lines. "What a drag!" "I'm quite beside myself!" I'm a fan of puns myself, but there was just no subtlety there. The only way they could have made it more obvious that the point was, "Hey, we're telling a joke! Laugh!" would have been if the words "CUE LAUGHTER" had flashed on and off on the screen in big red letters while he was saying that.

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

The video will not work for me. I get a realplayer message, the RP window on the site, the sound of the video, but not the video itself.
