The Definitive Skewering of the Star Wars Prequels

Most pop culture aware people have seen at least some fan made videos, parodies, impersonations, or general mockery directed at George Lucas and everyone responsible for the Star Wars prequels. These humorous attempts have been done with varying degrees of competency and success. 

However, recently I came across one that has raised the bar for dissatisfied fans everywhere. It is a series of parody reviews on the Youtube channel, RedLetterMedia, from man calling himself Mr. Plinkett. Each review is about an hour and a half long, and he has released one for all three of the prequels. They. Are. Hilarious. 

He uses a few memorable phrases to describe the main problems with The Phantom Menace including "it's mind boggling how complex the awfulness is." In addition to the humor, Mr. Plinkett makes some obviously well thought out criticism of the movies. He explains in great detail the main failings, not just focusing on obvious aspects like Jar-Jar Binks and Queen Amidala's hair. It is a great learning experience that you will laugh your whole way through.




If you find any other great parodies, leave them in the comments section.
