I can start a list, but someone else will have to continue:

1. title crawl
2. big ship
3. desert
4. droid in desert (with secret plans!)
5. guy who looks like Alec Guiness in desert
6. more desert
7. people murdered by stormtroopers in desert (with flamethrowers, naturally)
8. girl who looks like Luke in desert
9. droid nearly captured by diminutive alien in desert
10. more desert
11. Some desert aliens (pilfered more from the prequel Tattooine than the original one.)


I haven't even gotten to the cantina, but that should get you started.

I find this ironic. Some of you thundercunts post the same cynical shit with your noses turned up in any thread where someone enjoys or appreciates something. Aren't there other sentiments worth posting? I don't see how some of you have anyone who loves you. You're that miserable. Merry Christmas!

Don't you guys know that any kind of critical response is elitist and cynical? This is STAR WARS we're talking about!

That was inches away from arguing that a black hero shooting white storm troopers is an act of white shaming

I haven't seen the movie yet. But that review is insufferable.

Of course you think so, stip. You are the antithesis of everything I believe in.

I'm guessing Stip saw "National Review" and didn't actually read anything.
