i don't get the star wars prequel commentary shit that has been posted elsewhere on here, mainly b/c i can't get past the dude's voice and his jokes aren't funny

Yeah, but those movies are so bad they deserve to have all the reasons pointed out as much as possible. It's great to see that clip of Sir Alec Guinness wistfully talking about how Anakin was the best star fighter pilot in the galaxy, cunning warrior, and a good friend, then have it cut to them bitching at each other in Ep 3. Or Yoda speaking wisdom about the mystery & power of the force from Empire, intercut with Ep 3 footage of him jumping around w a lightsaber like a mindless videogame character. The side-by-side starting at 5:00 in below really nails how GL turned a modern myth into a lifeless, busy-looking piece of merchandise:

Really agree w you tho, this series could have been 5 parts long w/o all that faux horror movie BS.

i like how the criticisms arent fanboyish 'u ruined my childhood' stuff at all, or 'jar jar sucks,' they're just like, how does this story make any sense at all

Agreed. Great analysis, lame comedy.
But the comedy breaks up the pacing a bit for people who don't want to sit through a sixty-minute video review of a movie from over a decade ago.

I suspect if you removed the horror bits, not only the pacing would suffer but the analysis would seem dumb, too.there's a fine line between "no duh" and "on the money" and the horror bits lower your critical bars."This is pretty astute analysis for a horror-comedy character"vs."This dude is not saying anything that isn't blatantly obvious to anyone who has seen the movies"
I guess there is one way to find out -- has anyone made a phantom edit of this guy's reviews subtracting the horrorcom stuff?

You would have to re-record the audio.
