Oh... that guy is RedLetterMedia! He has a whole website on how bad the “episode 1-3” trilogy is, a step by step analysis of each film. I mostly agreed with his assessment of that trilogy. To me, the first Star Wars was created out of adversity, George made things happen and he literally almost killed himself making the first movie. For next two, he relied on massive Hollywood talent to help and it paid off. But the 1-3 trilogy, when I first saw “The Phantom Menace”, I could not immediately put my finger on why I didn’t like it at all... or the other two almost farcical entries. Then somebody directed me to red letter media‘s assessment of those films, and the way he explained it, in great detail, was something that I have always agreed with. He identified things that I could not quite get into focus.
But I didn’t know that he was on a Pogrom against the Disney era movies now, because I think “the force awakens” and “the last Jedi” are classically brilliant Star Wars films, and I can’t wait for episode IX.
Maybe his issue isn’t really with the films, but Disney’s bombardment of new and ugly, unposable and uninteresting toys and other accessories, including lightsaber nightlights that will not turn on with the included remote, or hologram generators, which are so overpriced that they eventually end up in the $.99 only store chain for substantially less than what they were being sold for at Walmart or target? So he should have melted a variety of those, the original Kenner toys are valuable even without the packaging. Ironically in that video one of the last things you see going under the acetone is the “Luke Skywalker in Hoth Gear”, - i’m looking on that on my Action Figure Wall right now... I was told that it was very valuable but I’m not quite sure when it was made. I would never melt that, but I also have a whole bunch of revenge of the Sith toys, I might melt those—
When I was an actual child it was normal for children to destroy things, I had models of the Seaview, the flying sub, the land of the Giants spaceship thing, the Jupiter two, all melted or blown up. My brother and I got very creative with fire cracker products and flammable home cleaning products.
I mostly like red letter media‘s opinions about some of the Star Wars worst travesties, but this, this is almost unforgivable!
