Topic	Anagram Ranks Anything Star Wars-related with a Write-Up (spoilers)
Anagram 10/11/20 6:40:15 PM #43:	A New Hope Poster I assume the "buff Luke illustration" refers to the famous ANH poster. Note that there are two ANH posters, but it's clear which one I'm talking about. This is a really good poster. It doesn't tell you much about Star Wars, just that it's a fantasy series about a sphere, a guy in a helmet, and another guy with a sword, but it's really imaginative and cool. I would say that this is among the best film posters ever made. Star Wars Trek I assume this is a reference to the Futurama joke, where the Star Trek Wars are wars about Star Trek, while the Star Wars Trek is a journey by Star Wars fans? ... It's a fine little throwaway gag, I guess. Twilight of the Apprentice (Episode) This is the only Rebels-related thing I've seen. Why did I see it? Because there was a lot of memeing about Ahsoka's fate. The episode is fine, I guess. Rebels looks like a really bad show. I can imagine this perfectly okay episode being the best thing in the series. And what's with the main character's rubbery lightsaber with a hilt that looks like a gun? Bizarre choices. I like how Ahsoka can just sort of tell that Vader is Anakin because she knows him so well. I don't like how Anakin's face isn't scarred, though. What's with that? How hard is it to CGI some scars onto a CGI face? Very odd. Mr. Plinkett Prequel Reviews I need a category for "things that are good, but ruined everything afterwards." Resident Evil 4, Deep Space 9, and the Mr. Plinkett prequel reviews. These are pretty much the best thing ever. I'd never seen anything like this before when they came out, no one had, and they revolutionized internet reviewing... for the worse, I'm going to say? Every internet review of everything after these is just a Mr. Plinkett review done worse. I've seen internet reviews of Broadway stageplays done in Mr. Plinkett's style, for God's sake. Mr. Plinkett is also one of the few series that knew exactly how much is a good idea. He does Star Wars, he does Star Trek, he does Crystal Skull, and he does a few other miscellaneous movies, and he doesn't overstay his welcome. RLM is really good about this kind of thing, which is why they can pull off the "cynical jackass middle-aged men" shtick so well. By the way, yes, it's the best thing ever. Many jokes were made about how they're better than the actual prequels, which is true, but I would also say they're better than most real movies. "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was the most disappointing thing since my son" may be the single greatest line in all of youtube. These videos are basically a semester of film school distilled into three youtube videos. The character test where you describe someone's personality is so brilliant, and it really shows off how Rogue One is trash, because try telling me the names of the characters in that movie. Master Jaro Tapal ... Literally who? This just seems like a completely generic Jedi of no importance. He seems like the most normal-ass, "I do my job competently and am not particularly drawn to the Dark Side" Jedi you could possibly be. Kyle Katarn When Disney announced that the EU was dead, I remember many fans specifically calling out to Kyle Katarn's decanonization as a crime, saying that he was great and should remain. I've never played the Jedi Knight series of games, but I know they're well-liked. I think the funniest thing about Kyle Katarn is that he's a Stormtrooper who turns to the Rebels and becomes a Jedi, and that he's the guy who stole the Death Star plans. Both ideas were reused by Disney, but made worse. How do I know that they're worse in the Disney versions than the original versions I've never played? Just an assumption, but tell me I'm wrong! It's also great to have someone cynical in the Star Wars universe, but still dedicated to doing the right thing. Star Wars characters generally don't really have the nuance to be cynical? The only core Star Wars character I would say has any actual depth to him as a person is Darth Vader, so I can immediately see the appeal of this guy. ----------- Thunderous Applause Star Trek The Force Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope You're My Only Hope Yoda Millennium Falcon Mr. Plinkett Star Wars Reviews A New Hope Poster Baby Yoda Star Wars Ep 1: Jedi Party The Force is Strong with This One Grand Moff Tarkin Kyle Katarn Kettch Impressive, Most Impressive Ganner Rhysode The Star Trek Wars Vua Rapuung Boba Fett Stay on Target Titan Squadron Twilight of the Apprentice (Episode) Jaro Tapal Star Wars Trek I've Got a Bad Feeling About This Kylo Ren's Lightsaber Jacen Horn Corran Horn Kir Kanos Anagram What a Piece of Junk The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise Darth Jar-Jar Theory Wookiepedia Tree Article Bomberman Hero A Pathway to Many Abilities Some Would Consider to be Unnatural Ewoks Cartoon Midichlorians --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
