Interesting point about the timing of the pro-Prequel articles

Don't feed the pretentious over-intellectualizing flakey film-studies majoring trolls

RLM once led from the front, now bringing up the rear

Agree about the puritanical sexless SW universe. Most PG13 franchises these days have been scrubbed clean of anything risque as most new emerging cinema markets are (at least) a century behind the times. Either that or it was hinted that showing sexiness is now deemed sexist (PC gone mad), so that we've gone full circle back to Victorian England values.

He got what he wished for (JJ doing Ep7) so he can hardly shit on it too much. He almost went full-circle himself and wished for Lucas again!

Good point about Soft Reboots

BTTF is one of the very few remaining top-shelf 80s franchises not ruined/exploited/sequeled and prequeled 30 years too late, or otherwise had its goodwill diminished by Hollywood suits looking for IP to milk. Can't think of too many others.

Enjoyed TFA commentary fellas. Good fun. Well done. You should do more, you know. 

There's hard sci-fi and soft sci-fi. And there's Roland Emmerich.
