A Jawa says "Here comes the window cleaner" when he's approaching C3PO in the sand crawler, 16 minutes into Star Wars.

Can we at least call it by its true name? STAR WARS. Get rid of this revisionist, New Hope crap.

Why didn't they just have R2 turn off the tractor beam when they're in the control centre?

I was being facetious. It's almost the Star Wars version of why didn't Gandalf just get the eagles in the first place.

You're joking now.

Apparently a huge ground swell is emerging of kids who grew up with the prequels, that's their Star Wars, and they hate on force awakens (and the OT) in exactly this manner.

No? And I doubt WED had anything at al lol in common with a new hope.
But!! I'm working on a film that comes off the title. It's a spoof about how America telling all of its children they can grow up to be president, is a really bad idea but no longer a lie. It has a comedic twist at the end.
