>>Teen squeaking out a living on a desert planet encounters a small ‘droid that holds some super secret plans that the Big Galactic Evil wants badly...and on and on and on. Very bad. And not even camouflaged at all.<<

Well heck your review is more concise than mine. But I spent a LOT of words pounding the similarities.

In my version, the villain is Darth Rem Stimpy — plain wrap Dart Vader.

I always thought that the Princess was damaged goods after she entertained Jabba the Hut

[yarddog]

I would have just assumed that Jabba raped her but he did not seem to have any sex organs.

Jabba the Hut...."

Best moments are the BLR spoofs:

They didn't have one of my favorites (which I used when Obama announced that he was changing 529 college savings plans):

I am altering the deal....Pray I don't alter it any further.

Time can't even right a decent SW coverage article. Nothing from prequels is memorable, nothing from force awakens beats out anything from 4-6...Rey???, Who cares.... pathetic​! For example... Ep1 Your father's light saber. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Han shoots first. Stretch out with your feelings. Prison break. Now I am the master! Don't get cocky! Use the force Luke! Only one of these...mindtrick, made the Time list. Sad

[Future Snake Eater]

Let’s not forget two horrible Ewok made for TV movies! Written for the average 6 year old mind.

I believe I saw those when I was 6 years old. I don't remember much caring for them. I mean, come on--where the hell's Luke or Han or the Millenium Falcon?

[W.]

Heh, I heard that! (It’s only a movie, It’s only a movie...) Sure was a ripper of a flick!

[wgmalabama]

Disney buying pump and dump advertising on what should be a blue chip investment. So very sad.

[DAC21]

This whole thread “is a trap”

[publius911]

I always felt that, except for Lando Calrissian, whenever they put a black person in a significant role, it always felt like they were trying to put a black person in a significant role.

That is true of every movie and TV series of the last 30+ years.

Does everyone realize how many video/movie black presidents we had before Hussein appeared out of nowhere?

Total Fail is an understatement!

[River Hawk]

The “I’m your father, Luke” scene. Nothing else comes close.

[xp38]

While Disney bought Star Wars for 4 billion they didn’t get everything. The one thing still owned and controlled by Fox is the right to show theatrically the movies they originally distributed. That isn’t a big concern but any original movie marathon shown in a movie theatre has to get permission from Fox still.

[M1903A1]

How about “Damnation Alley”? (Which was supposed to be the BIG studio sci-fi hit of 1977...were it not for this upstart film by some guy named Lucas....)

[W.]

I saw that one, too!

[CrazyIvan]

These aren’t the moments you’re looking for.

#41 Seeing the Ewoks for the first time. Oh Joy, Rapture!

[vladimir998]

“40 seems like an awfully high number for “greatest” moments.”

They picked 40 because this week is the 40th anniversary of the release of the original Star Wars.
