    I can’t believe how brave George Lucas is for filming and cutting Star Wars 1 to be 133 minutes long. Kind of an ambitious goal for the first movie, don’t you think? I’m glad he was so brave to do it though otherwise the subsequent films might not have been ever made and Star Wars wouldn’t be what it is today.

    Star Wars: The Phantom Menace is the most disappointing thing since my son. I mean, how much more could you possibly f*** up the entire back story of Star Wars? While my son eventually hanged himself in the bathroom of the gas station, the unfortunate reality is that the Star Wars prequels is that they'll be around. Forever. They will never go away. It can never be undone.
