Nope. Can't agree. The entire might of a galactic empire and its evil leader with [supernatural powers, to boot] brought down in forty-five minutes by fuzzballs

To be fair, the fuzzballs didn't take down the evil leader; Luke & Darth did. The fuzzballs didn't take down the entire might of a galactic empire; the Rebel Alliance did.

What the fuzzballs did take down was about a hundred stormtroopers wearing ultra-tech armor and armed with blasters, not to mention three AT-ST walkers, using nothing but stone age technology...which is bad enough, but not quite as bad as what you said!

Attack of the Clones, while awful, is a better film than ROJ.

It's the least bad of the prequels, I'll give it that...not that that's saying much.

Actually, Luke and Darth taking down the Emperor is even more insulting than the Ewoks defeating the Storm Troopers.

We're supposed to believe that somebody who murdered hundreds of little kids in the Jedi Citadel, to say nothing of the casual murder of more or less any military or bureaucratic functionary who got in his way, is "persuaded" to amend his evil ways over the course of a few seconds of confrontation between his kid and his boss. A kid, by the way, whose hand he's previously cut off.

Actually less credible than superluminal travel through spacetime. And that's saying something.

In today’s world, with the full might of a beyond the bleeding edge tech equipped all seeing all powerful hyper-government, we are the fuzzballs.

I’m pulling for the fuzzballs, m’self.
