Plinkett takes on Revenge of the Sith.
Long… but so, so terrific.
Personally, I think that the Star Wars prequels are lazy, largely soulless films, and that article author Kevin McLeod has a bad case of apophenia.
George Lucas pushed all of film into the 21st century when he made his “Star Wars” prequel trilogy. And like a magician, he used mirrors.
Remember that mirrors do not duplicate images — the way a copier does — they reverse them. Although mirroring has been around for a long time in art, Lucas took it much farther. His most basic mirror, the through-line of the trilogy, simply inverts the power structures of his original trilogy, reversing who discovers the flaws of those in power (in the original trilogy, it is the rebels; in the prequels, the Sith do it). And why would Lucas do this? Why would he sacrifice much of the excited feeling that audiences had in rooting for the “good” guys? He did it to show you that power does not align with good or evil, or with lightness or darkness, and that power itself can be evil. To shade his stories beyond black-and-white extremes, he uses colors and forms that, under his abilities, transform into patterns.
These patterns tell stories of which you likely are not aware.

Doctor Who Meets Star Wars
Fezes are cool… but this mashup is cooler.
(I didn’t even know how much I wanted to see Amy Pond wield a lightsaber until I saw this.)
The battle scene that opens Revenge of the Sith is made more awesome by replacing the soundtrack with Queen’s “Battle Theme” from Flash Gordon.
“Troopers”
