Topic	Anagram Ranks Anything Star Wars-related with a Write-Up (spoilers)
Anagram 10/15/20 7:44:00 PM #203:	Naboo I get it. It's a paradisal planet the Trade Federation screws up. The heroes have to preserve it, that's the goal that makes them heroic. The architecture is vaguely Mediterranean because that's a nice place people like to visit. I'm fine with all of that. What I'm not fine with is a system of elective monarchy (???) that can elect fourteen year-olds as queen. Look, I'm a teacher. I've talked politics with fourteen year-olds. They shouldn't be allowed anywhere near power. As far as Star Wars planets go, this is a low tier one. How to Make Up Star Wars Names Inspector Krumbulus was her best name. "If you don't know me in person, I can't believe you watched this video." Yikes. Solo: A Star Wars Story This battles TFA for the title of "best Disney SW movie." It's not great, but it's also not terrible. I was expecting an atrocity when I went in, and instead it's merely competent. You heard so many rumors about it, like the acting coach coming in at the last minute and the guy named Therm Scissorpunch. Everyone knew that this movie would be about how all of the important events of Han Solo's life happened in the space of a week, and that does happen, but it's done about as well as it realistically could have been done. I appreciate the comparatively low stakes in this movie, where the stakes are basically just a lot of money, and the final villain is just a mafia boss. That guy, man. If I was in an office armed with a knife, and my enemy had a gun, and I wasn't a Jedi, I would be way less confident than him. He's like strolling around the office without a care in the world, like his stupid knife is better than Han Solo's gun. I already gave my thoughts on how the movie retroactively ruins Han Solo's arc in ANH, but I think the most interesting thing about the way the movie connects into the broader Star Wars story is the five seconds of Darth Maul. That was so clearly an attempt to set up an MCU-style shared universe, and it's very lame. Can I complain about Emilia Clarke for a while? Stop casting her in movies. She's a terrible actress. She's good as a waify princess who looks off into the distance meaningfully and doesn't talk a lot, but the minute she opens up her mouth, she sounds like a petulant little kid, and she's the size of a medium-sized dog. Whenever she needs to do anything action-y or badass, she's just so, so bad. I wouldn't say she ruined Terminator Genisys, but only because everyone ruined that movie. Yuuzhan Vong's Hated of Machines Not Being Properly Exploited in Battlefront There are a lot of times Star Wars squandered an obvious opportunity. Not much to say about that! IG-11 I wrote up a whole thing about IG-88 before I thought to check the Wiki to make sure. Whoops! IG-11 works really well as a vehicle for the Mandalorian to get over his racism against droids, and to allow the audience to feel something. The short guy was so we could feel something about a sympathetic character dying ignobly, but IG-11 gets the heroic sacrifice. This way, we get both varieties, which is good. ----------- Thunderous Applause Star Trek The Force Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope Lightsabers Darth Vader Death Star Sheev Palpatine You're My Only Hope Yoda John Williams The Saga Begins (Song) Han Solo Millennium Falcon Grand Admiral Thrawn Luke Skywalker R2-D2 Opening Crawl Luke vs Vader Duel (Bespin) Mr. Plinkett Star Wars Reviews Hand of Thrawn Trilogy Mos Eisley Cantina TIE Fighter A New Hope Poster Baby Yoda It's a Trap Star Wars Ep 1: Jedi Party Duel of the Fates Order 66 The Force is Strong with This One Battle of Hoth Obi-Wan Kenobi Canderous Ordo Twi'leks Force Lightning IG-11 Grand Moff Tarkin j* Music Jabba's Palace Sequence Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi C-3PO Star Wars Toys Headbonk Stormtrooper Spaceballs Rise of the Resistance Yuzzhan Vong Anagram Ranks Anything Star Wars-related Death Star II Assault Lego Star Wars Traitor Trooper Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith Qui-Gon Jinn Jawas Shadows of the Empire (N64) Keyblades Jyn Erso Kyle Katarn Darth Maul Hand Amputations Salacious B.
