This was incredibly enjoyable. I could comment all night on how this guy truly hit home here. I think the video editing could have been tweeked slightly, but overall, every little nuance added to the brilliance of this video. fantastic!!!

What I envisioned at the end is that RedLetterMedia IS GL, and that he had a mega-facepalm, got drunk and made this video :)

This made my night. Thank you RedLetterMedia, and boon23!!!

An awesome fanedit, both unbelievably entertaining and educational. RedLetterMedia absolutely dissects the piece of crap that is TPM and, at last, and as TMBTM wrote in the forum, puts the finger firmly on everything that alwats felt wrong about the movie. In one swipe, we get to realise what made TPM such crap and made the original movies so great – hard to understand how they were made by the same guy…

Most of all, it’s brilliantly written, very funny, and, at the same time, brutally honest.

Everyone who ever watched TPM and came away confused as to how and why it didn’t work will finally realise it’s not just Jar-Jar’s fault, and that the roots of the problem lie deeper. The atention to all the details George Lucas missed is extraordinary, and makes us wonder what happened to the supposed genius who created the franchise. Unmissable, this is one to share wildly with friends, as they too, surely, will be amazed.

From a technical standpoint, i really like the editing and overall goofy feel to the edit – soundtrack included. And, taking into account the fact this DVD was built using YouTube sources, Boon23 did a great job in tweaking them, ’cause they hold up even on my 46″ TV.

All and all, a truly great and unmissable fanedit. Thanks to RLM for his “clairvoyance”, and to Boon for taking the time to build a DVD and share it.

I watched this series on YouTube, and all I can say is… BRILLIANT! (BTW, the comments made by idiots on the YouTube site attacking RLM for his videos are almost as funny as the videos themselves… they hate it either because they loved the prequels, or they’re too stupid to realize this is a tongue-in-cheek deal.) I don’t know what I liked more about his reviews, that the character doing the review is hysterical, or that every single thing he says is pretty much true!

One major request, though; any way of re-upping TPM? I got the Episode II review on DVD (awesome job, boon23!) but Episode I is offline…

Can’t wait for Episode III, if boon23 is up for that one too! A million thanks to boon and RedLetter for these!!!

Genius wearing a lowest common denominator suit. Picks apart The Phantom Menace to expose precisely why there's stool on our theater seat and in our popcorn, so to speak.

Required viewing for people named George Lucas.
