Rifftrax versus Jar Jar

As the conclusion* to my Best of Rifftrax Star Wars Youtube series, I present a compilation of Mike Nelson and Kevin Murphy saying what we're all thinking about Jar Jar Binks in The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, as an expression of just how badly Lucas ruined the Star Wars universe by making the prequels.

*EDIT: Okay, I ended up adding three more Star Wars Rifftrax videos. What can I say? I'm weak...

I know it's Kevin Murphy's voice, but I still see Tom Servo in my head.

The "look, go to hell" is said perfectly

[questionxhuntress]

Rebels: Damn you Jar Jar! Damn you all to hell!

4:42 - "Dippy Derp, LOOK AT HIM GO !!!"

@madahad9 Star Wars isn't science fiction, it's science fantasy. Debate over?

[madahad9]

@TheKamacuras But it set a standard that we have yet to out grow. It has dragged science fiction down to that childish level of the Saurday morning serials instead of explorinng more ambitious themes. I am kind of glad they have never made a movie out of Sranger In A Strange Land or Childhood's End or made a decent Philip K. Dick adaptation yet (sorry, but Blade Runner was just cops and robbers with androids) and was a mere shadow of the original book. All art direction no content

[TheKamacuras]

@madahad9 Hyperbole much?

As terrible as Star Wars is as a franchise, the original 3 movies are a fun throwback to sci fi serials from the forties and fifties. Star Wars was never meant to be about the possibilities of humans and space, not all Sci Fi is. Star Wars, at its original inception, was about applying The Hero's Journy to a sci fi setting. Sure the OT are dumb and goofy films but they have plenty of good qualities to make up for the stupid and a little silliness never hurt anyone.

[madahad9]

@SuperHeroMania It became all about the hard ware and the mechanics of science fiction. It is really nothing more than an overblown Flash Gordon serial from the forties. I work at a movie theater where we are playing the 3D version and I am happy to say that not a single person turned out for the midnight screening. Hopefully it just tanks and goes away and will give MR. Lucas cause not to pursue this plan of 3D'ing the remainder of the series.

@madahad9 I wouldn't say it ruined science fiction, it just didn't live up to epic expectations

[justsignmeup911]

I remember "How wude" being a catchphrase from FULL HOUSE. FULL HOUSE.

[beakman10]

i love how at certain points they just forget the jokes and just start yelling at jar jar

[madahad9]

I know I will be buried under a mud slide of hate, but I have to say this : STAR WARS RUINED SCIENCE FICTION. Instead of being about the possibilities of humanity in space it has just devolved to it's lowest mechanical apsects. I await the hate, but you I'm right.

"I'm laughing, but you can't see it cause it'd digital."

[BlargGargle]

It's hilarious how pissed-off Mike sounds! XD I think this is the only way I can watch Star Wars movies anymore.

[jr52990]

@ganandolf31 Yep right before

[ganandolf31]

@jr52990 wait...we...get to see jar jar before he dies on Aldaran :O

[Yapshire]

@LokitheCajun Oh, yeah. The token, funny black guy. He probably didn't think of it. Don't tell him. You never know what he will do in 20 years when he "recreates" these movies like he did the first ones in order to make more money - I mean - fulfill his vision.

[Yapshire]

@belladonna4577 It's odd, isn't it. Rifftrax is just as good (in some cases, funnier) and they refer to each other by name, but still....old habits die hard. Long live Crow and Tom!

[belladonna4577]

LMAO

"yeah, i'll show you "how rude" when i pull whatever genitalia you have right out of your mouth!"

wow! XD

[belladonna4577]

@Yapshire me too! i just want to copy & paste the silhouette of mike & the bots on the bottom of the screen :}.

[Seferoth157]

@jr52990 are you shitting me?

[jr52990]

@ganandolf31 No I'm serious, it's real. No joke. In the newest (besides the up and coming 3D stuff) Lucas makes Aldaran explode in a brand new way for epp 4 Return of the Jedi. In the scene Jar Jar turns to see the impending doom and then the planet explodes.

[r0natello]

Thumbs up if you think JarJar sounds like Elmo strung out on xanax and zoloft!

[shadic74]

You know it's funny, and I don't know why, but when I was a kid it was Jar Jar who first got me interested in Star Wars. I hate him now, but it's funny to look back and remember that it's because of him that I'm a fan of Star Wars today lol

[Roadvirus1]

0:42 to 0:56 had me on the floor in pain.

[Ringsfan1]

ok, Jar Jar is kinda annoying, but he has his moments. My biggest problem with this movie is... Viceroy Nute Gunray. "shiver" terrible character, terrible makeup, completely fake. To me, he makes Jar Jar look like God

[LokitheCajun]

@ganandolf31 Just set up three computers, play a montage of Anakin's whiny scenes on one, a montage of jar jar on the next, and Leia singing the theme from the Christmas special on the third..... Sit in the middle and enjoy fanboy HELL........... Believe it man, I tried it.
