Something about this that I must share. Keep watching the parts (there are 7) at least until you see the part about lightsaber duels in part 6. It actually brought tears to my eyes by reigniting my love of the original trilogy and my loathing for the newer movies. The critic nails so many salient points about narrative and the use of story (and abuse of both in the new trilogy) that George Lucas should have exploded into flames of shame as soon as the words were spoken.

I'm on part 3 and still going. I actually found this via another source. Gotta love it!

Watched the whole thing last night. I hope it becomes mandatory viewing at film school.

oh and the bit where he discusses the opening of A New Hope and says Lucas probably didn't think it up and likely argued against putting it in the movie "oh snap!"
