Celebrating pro-PT articles/videos

Yeah, for once he (a Youtuber) comes off entirely sensible. He's making technically sharp observations while also appreciating Team Lucas' aesthetic ambitions and cognitive imagery on levels more practical to the intent of engaging general audiences rather than some abstruse film-school hipster indulgence—proportionate to the snobby hipster bullshit long since lobbied at these films as criticism. It's just: this is what works unassumingly well, how it's diverse from the OT but also still in harmony. Indeed, Episode I really does open with a gamut of everything Star Wars up to that point, both overt and nuanced, subverted yet also ceremonious.

But, ya know, moviegoers now days think Baby Groot dancing to some mediocre pop-soundtrack is how one opens a space fantasy proper. Imaginative oddity underlined with sincere innocence versus crass infantilization. Lucas for his part truly gave us a comparably renaissance work of wonderment escapism ...in those opening 20 minutes alone.

I would rather entertain someone laying heavily into Lucas' contributions to Indiana Jones and Star Wars with inspired, even quixotic, criticisms per unique personal preferences over conceding him vague credit more seemingly for the sake of general pop-culture diplomacy. The article offers nothing particularly insightful as to why Crystal Skull, Dial of Destiny and the PT are good movies, or not. There's nothing intellectual here; it's mostly just an empty editorial.

So who cares.
