Yeah, I thought that moment was great, how a brutal dungeon torturer could get legitimately torn up over his mindless monster getting killed. I don't think it was out of place in what we knew about Star Wars at the time.

The Ewoks though...

This makes no sense. In the era when the only time you could see a hot star in a bikini was US magazine or maybe People, Leia in the slave outfit was gold! Gold I tell you!

Uh, no. By the time RotJ came out; Charlie's Angels, Wonder Woman and even Swamp Thing had come and gone. Not to mention all the jiggle associated with the Roger Moore-era Bond girls. Fisher suffered in a big way in comparison to all the T&A chicks at the time. I just remember being completely unimpressed.

And you're right.

The reason they shoehorned the Yoda scene was someone told Lucas that an authority was needed to verify that Vader was Luke's father, otherwise kids (like me, for real) would just think Vader was lying in ESB.

Yeah, because I don't think Carrie Fisher is a babe? Or stacks up to the hot actresses around at the time (Farrah, Jaclyn Smith, Jacqueline Bisset, Lynda Carter, the Bond girls, just to name a few)?

in 1983 Carrie had to compete with the likes of:

Catherine Bach
Heather Locklear
Heather Thomas
Kelley LeBrock
a really young Diane Lane
a skinny/ coked-up version of Michelle Pfiefer
and
















Meredith Baxter-Birney

Why is Meredith so low on the list?

How many of those ladies have a song about them?

False.

Attack of the Clones isn't even the worse film in the series as that honor goes to the Phantom Menace.

I need to rewatch Clones. I never understood the hatred or certainly not the level of hatred. PM deserves full bore hatred of with the heat of 1000 suns.

Your latter point doesn't disprove my initial point. While AOTC is horrible, it actually serves a purpose in the overall Star Wars narrative. TPM literally has no reason to exist. It doesn't really establish anything that isn't obvious in AOTC. It has no protagonist. It has a cardboard, one-sided, undeveloped villain. It's got sub-elementary level humor. What's great about ANH is that it drops you right in the middle of an ongoing story and gives you just enough history to use your imagination. TPM does none of that and doesn't develop any kind of story. It's would be like if Lucas's initial Star Wars film was a two and half hour feature on the two storm troopers that Luke and Han assault when they land on the Death Star.

ATOC gets a ton of hate - justifiably - because it may be the most cringeworthy, poorly developed dialogue in movie history. But at least it has a plot that serves a role in the larger series.

No one will ever convince me that TPM is anything but the absolute bottom of the Star Wars franchise.

I look at the Phantom Menace being totally worthless as being in its favor. I can totally ignore it and really miss nothing as far as the total mythos is concerned. It's really just a space occupier and nothing more.

Attack of the Clones though, I can't look past. All that we were told about Anakin, Obi Wan, the Jedi, and the Clone Wars were absolute lies. It's just a horrible mess and one of the movies ever made. I wish I could ignore it, but it's just that bad.

Here's the best analogy: TPM is just a fart in the wind. When it hits your nostrils, it's horrible, but it goes past you and it should do nothing to dampen your day. AotC on the other hand is dog shite, in that you step on it, and you can smell it and you can't get away from it. That dog shite is there to stay unless you have a hose.
