Surprised no one's posted this here yet. I saw it back when it came out but a discussion on another site led me back to it, and I thought I'd share it with the members of JvS. For those who've never seen the Nostalgia Critic, he's an internet movie reviewer who reviewed older "nostalgic" movies, usually bad ones, though recently he's begun to do newer movies as well as older. One of his series is his "Top 11" lists, because, as he says each time, "I like to go one step beyond," and this one came out in April. He's refused to review the prequels, and explained that it's been done to death, but he came up with this idea instead: Searching for the good things in them, instead of the bad, though yes, he does take snipes at them in this list; guess he had to get them out somehow.
Anyway, it was an interesting video, and I honestly pretty much agree, so I thought it was worth sharing with the rest of you Star Wars nerds, if you haven't seen it before. Honestly the only thing I can contest is that he seems to imply in the beginning very briefly that he didn't like Qui-Gon, which I personally loved Qui-Gon, but I don't believe he's much of a Liam Neeson fan in general,in which case he's also wrong so oh well, I suppose, but it's still a good watch.
