I’ve been a Superman fan since 1994 at the latest. I’m familiar with most major iterations of the character, inside the comics and outside, Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age, and Modern Age, in-continuity and outside-of-continuity. I’m familiar with the Superman who pines for Krypton and would toss his glasses in the nearest garbage bin at the first opportunity and the Superman who sees Earth as his one true home and considers himself a Kansas farmboy at heart; I know which of those two Supermen resonates the most for me.

So yeah, I certainly do know a quite bit more about the goddamn character than Frink does, so I don’t appreciate having my opinion cavalierly stated as wrong by him, especially since it’s not a new concept I just pulled out of my ass but one professional writers have been all quite eagrely working with for some 29-odd years.

Did that sound a lot more bad ass in your head?

Hansi's THE PHANTOM MENACE + ATTACK OF THE CLONES + REVENGE OF THE SITH: DESPECIALIZED EDITION v1.0
Time

My dad is in his 50’s and claims he actually likes Jar-Jar. Then again he isn’t very picky and has a high tolerance for annoying things. (I guess that’s what happens when you’re a youth minister at a church for 20+ years…)

But then again, he’s the only person I know personally that loves Star Wars, and vice versa, so we only ever watch it when we’re together, and he hasn’t seen the official version of any of the prequels in 5+ years because I always make him watch a fanedit, so that may be part of his tolerance too… he might not remember just how annoying he was before.

could someone please explain the joke?

Since the Prequels are so CGI-heavy and were almost completely filmed against blue screens, “de-specializing” it takes away the CGI, leaving you with a blue screen.

I give this explanation a 5 out of 5. I was tempted to dock a point for it having been necessary in the first place, But decided against it since that wasn’t the explanations fault.
