Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Btw. Rogue one is the best star wars film.

Because it is what it is and doesn't try to be what it's not.

I shall merely remark that R1 would not exist without ep 4 and that at least two sequels are retreads of episode 4, such is the strength of its influence.Nobody is ever going to remake The Phantom Menace. Nobody.

There I agree.

I prefer R1 as it is "normal" people and doesn't relybon Luke Skywalker being Harry potter in space.

I also like it (spoiler alert) that they all die.

Better story than IV, which is basically the American exceptionalism version of David Vs Goliath meets Yojimbo.

Just my view

I like that article about Machete order. I also like that I is gone.

I think I had some problems with the sexual politics in IV.

I like to think of epi 4 as Dambusters in space.

I'd go with that JB. Except that it's Harry potter flying the plane.

Although I'm struggling to fit Yoda into that particular mash-up.

Magical green alien doesn't fit into the dambusters thing.
