Siskel & Ebert Defend Empire Strikes Back

By JediPartisan, in Star Wars: Legion

This just came up in the recommended section of YouTube and I thought it was hilarious. And I know this sounds like a YouTube comment, but that Simon guy seems like a real nazi. Just my opinion, or would that be a critique? 😁 😳

I do remember seeing that when it originally aired lol

No, just a snob.

I also defend ESB.

Here are the other two movies they mentioned:

Tender Mercies

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0086423/

and Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0086346/

I always find it interesting to see what the contemporary competition was.

I wonder how Simon reacted to the prequels, it’s almost like all his comments were dead on for those.

This gets at why I don't take most people's criticisms seriously. They don't actually watch enough movies to contextualize the Star Wars ones.

I felt that the prequels, sequels, and Solo, have in large part lived up to the worst criticisms of the OT.

I wasn’t aware ESB needed defending. It’s nearly perfect.

The use of tauntauns was a bit extreme at the time
