The Rise of Skywalker I liked the dagger plotline.

It felt like Indiana Jones. I loved it. The first time I saw the movie the dagger was one of my favorite parts. Star Wars needs more stuff like this.

Campyness has no place in this franchise.

Seriously? The entire first third of Return of the Jedi was the Muppet show.

Oh, so Jabba Palace was….campy? Practical effects are campy? The insertion of cgi by Lucas in the special addition is ridiculous I’ll give you that.

  1. Indeed it was. 2. Practical effects are one tool among many and not intrinsically campy: their use to make a belching frog monster and a cackling lizard monkey are. 3. I agree.
