the pod race is probably the best part of the phantom menace, but the chase through the city was the best part of godzilla 2000. neither of them are sufficient to make the films good. the pod race has some good directing, some good editing, some very good sound design. it's still a contrived 80s movie premise about winning the big ski race to save the youth center, involving an 8 year old darth vader whittled out of wood, who can't die or lose, gritting his teeth for 20 minutes starting with a camel fart as he defeats market-driven terrible-looking videogame characters until the one who has the villain moustache yells "poodoo" and the futurama announcer does the ikky shuffle, except more baffling than that sounds

The ghost detective from lost even mentions it in the film . So the energy you see is moving faster than light which makes no sense because there is clearly a bow shockwave but whatever

That was a good video. Can you help me understand why anyone should feel similarly about the fight between Obi-Wan and Jango Fett though? I love the prequels but I find that sequence to be uniquely horrible amongst the six films. Nothing about it works for me at all. It's not tense, it's not beautiful, the whole thing plays a bit too close to slapstick. I hate it.

You could say they weren't seeing normal light but the hyper hyper light. And they would have seen that since it was moving with the rest of the hyper hyper energy I guess I don't know.

Worst book ever written. the star wars prequels are not joyce. they are not even herzog. they are commercial diarrhea created by an aspergers toy billionaire that fail on every level. you are not seeking an explanation of their hidden meaning, which is good, as there is none. you are looking for something that validates your pre-existing desire to love something with the right brand on it, something that squares the circle between "i am very smart" and "i like this apparently terrible film for 10 year olds." you are not seeking enlightenment, but rather, justification.

Yeah, the prequel trilogy films went a little heavy on the scatological humor, unlike the originals, which feature the heroes leaping into a cesspit, R2D2 being swallowed and vomited up, and a brief interlude of a muppet in a desert belching.

Any time people online say they like the Prequels, someone will them to watch the RLM videos. I just tell them that watching the RLM videos has lead to prequel fans being more vocal lately. In real life news: A lot of people named their babies "Kylo", along with "Benjamin" (but that may not always have to do with Star Wars).
