    Poor Mike. The 2 franchises that he grew up with, Star Wars and Star Trek, have been taken over ump-teen times by hack frauds and trashed of their heart, soul, and magic.

      Mike convinced a huge portion of the fanbase to hate half of the films and their director. He played a crucial role in George selling the franchise. He's basically Amidala: he moved for a vote of no confidence in George Lucas' leadership and now an evil maniac is in control, instead. I feel no pity for Mike that he has now seen what Star Wars films that are _actually_ bad really look like.

      Uh, what? Are you implying the prequels aren't "actually" bad?
      Look, I hated TLJ as much as the next guy, but that doesn't mean I'm clamoring for the days of Goongas and Corooscint, either. The fact is that the Star Wars franchise has sucked ass since '83. Nothing Disney releases could ever fuck things up worse than the Phantom Menace/special editions combo of the late 90s. They're just continuing to milk the dying cow for every last drop. Pretty standard stuff for a big film studio.

    1:19 Poem:
    Into my heart an air that kills
    From yon far country blows:
    What are those blue remembered hills,
    What spires, what farms are those?
    That is the land of lost content,
    I see it shining plain,
    The happy highways where I went
    And cannot come again.
    from A. E. Housman's A Shropshire Lad (1896)

    Those of us of a certain age know exactly what this is; it hits you deep inside, and you are transported into another time. I honestly shed a tear when I saw this.
    I remember popping these movies into my VCR
    watching them over and over and over.
    The lightsabers and the force
    twin suns, cue breeze, set course
    I would jump around the living room
    pretending to be Luke.
    I would focus on an object
    which the force would move.
    There was a kind of magic a wonderment to it all
    friend, companion, teacher, you taught me well
    As I grew older your voice I heard less and less
    But it did not matter, for in my heart you slept.
    They told me you were back, but I was unsure
    My heart still ached, I'd been duped once before
    Now a grown man, went to the theater with my son.
    The lights dimmed, the fanfare, till all was done.
    We saw the Last Jedi, and immediately knew
    that Star Wars was dead, as my love for you
    Houseman was right, I see it plain
    You can never ever come again.

Lando feels terrible so asks Rose to kill him she says no then accidently falls over R2D2 and fires her blaster at Landos face. BB8 blames R2 and dismantles R2D2 and throws his bits into a Snarlak (is that how you spell it lol) C3P0 cant carry on and commits suicide by falling into a bottomless pit into an engine. All off camera. Roll credits. So Brave So Intellectual.

      Star Wars is a metaphore for the real world.... its a warning of what we can become... and what we must do to change and transform... its also a fun fictional story... but yes, what makes it so transformative to watch is the revelation it is us

      secondly George Lucas gave everyone the original trillogy alongside the great actors and others who helped, what ever you might say, simply put everything golden in star trek and star wars except for TOS, can trace back atleast in part to George Lucas, if you love those things you should love him as well as all those he worked with to help create that golden era of science fiction films and television.

    I mean, I understand that this video is kind of a joke, but it genuinely made me emotional. The music, and the editing choices, and the poem are perfect.
    Mike is being sarcastic and snarky all the time, but I'm sure there is some sadness in him because of this shit.
    We all loved the original ones, and the prequels were like a betrayal. And now we get something that kind of resembles what we love, but in reality it's this corporate and synical product...

    • @FranzFerdinand76
      @FranzFerdinand76 Před 6 lety +76

      It's actually easier to detach the prequels from the original trilogy because they were so different in content and particularly visually. These ones however take a lot of familiar elements and suck the magic right out of them and all that's left is empty, watered down corporate shit.

    • @anatolearakelian8454

      danielsan7876 And I don't even hate these new ones. Rogue one was pretty bad I thought, The last Jedi is ok, and The Force Awakens I kind of like. I got other problems.
      For me, especially as an artist it's sad to see how this wonderful creation, that told a very compelling story with strong characters and great filmmaking, yet still felt like it's children playing with toys, and making a fun movie out of it... is now turned into a committee - driven product made to please dummies

      Yeah the music and the poem is actually the audio from a early 1970s movie called walkabout. It's a Nicolas reog film about how childhood is very fleeting and how we usually take it for granted, and at times wish to return to that carefree time. It's actually a really atmospheric movie set in the red deserts of Australia. It's also a film I long for redlettermedia to see and review or even mention...
