Maybe a summary for those of us who don't want to spend forty minutes on a YouTube video?
Two guys give their thoughts on bringing back Clone Wars. Slag off current Disney output for Star Wars.
I didn't sit through all of it, just a few minutes. I don't really disagree with anything they've said. I would say I'd like another Plinkett Star Wars review but I don't think I do. The prequel one felt like years in the making as they sat and thought about it and then really went to town on it where as they just did episode 7 because it was expected. Even then the prequel reviews went off the rails after they got most of the problems out in the open in their episode 2 review and then padded out with "comedy".
Near as I can tell. As I say I only watched a few minutes so I could be missing some big thing from the video but it felt a little aimless. Kind of "Clone Wars is coming back" "Did you ever watch it?" "No, you?" "No." "Wow Disney is just throwing sh*t at the wall aint they." "Yeah!"
Well, that sounds like exactly the kind of informed opinion we should be listening to as a determination of the state of the franchise.
I said sarcastically.
Without casting shade it felt like the sort of thing that if it were just posted, say in the Clone Wars returning thread would be fine it's just that it's just a video from youtube that's forty minutes long.
Lol, ridiculous.
Actually click the link in the OP and it goes to the specific Star Wars discussion in the video.
Who is RLM? Those guys with the glasses? Internet celebs whose moment has passed several years ago?
Yawn. If they were still doing brutally honest reviews of the Star Wars movies, then maybe there would be something to chew on. Now, we're laughing at them. Not with them.

Irrelevant YouTube commenters with an unearned platform think that they know what's best for Star Wars? No, thanks. The ship has sailed for when I cared what RLM (or any YouTuber) thinks.
So, you’re suggesting that calling anyone who is actually excited for Star Wars a weirdo is “accurate?” Pretty sure that falls under the definition of trolling.
And again, why do you need ANOTHER fucking thread about how much you hate Star Wars? Start one. Go with it. We’ll refute you at every point. Starting one shows you nothing less than an individual who has far too strong of an opinion on (1) ridiculous vlogs and (2) your own opinion. You’re entitled to your own opinion. But trolling people, which is exactly what you’re doing, does not look well on you, sir.
How about I don't, but say that I did?
@Kane_Steel, why is it so important for us to know how much hate Star Wars?
This is just getting pathetic.
I like my favorite things getting the critical treatment. If the treatment is done well, I get a new perspective on the show or film and life in general. One of my favorites is Lorerunner. However, when that treatment turns into an obsession, as it has for some others, like RLM or Mauler, I am like,
if only the books were as good as the movies. I read quite a few of them and they're not that great most of the time.
