Salacious B. Crumb

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2020)

Despite all of the daddy issues, or maybe because of them, this is the greatest Star Wars of them all. The alien creatures are the most creative and downright loveable in this stellar episode. The aforementioned Crumb being my all-time favorite. The landscapes are the most imaginative. Princess Leia dons the slinkiest, sexiest outfit in the history of the franchise. In fact, it out smoke shows all of those Star Trek strumpets, including Mudd's women. Speaking of Leia, there is a shocking revelation in this film that will floor you (I won't go and spoil it for the 6 remaining people in the world who haven't seen it yet). There is also a spectacular equipoise of the poignant and the absurd in this film. It has more poetry and humanity than all S.W. movies before or after it. I laud all involved. It is escapism at its best and most accessible. Epic in every sense of the word. Personal and universal at the same time, like all great art.
