Being already grown up by the time the first Star Wars movie came out, I always thought it was intentionally silly and stupid--like a Sid and Marty Krofft production of Flash Gordon--and that every movie had juvenile elements that made no sense, and even worse were annoying. I always wished someone would kick that R2D2 into the trash compactor. How did this thing make any sense? All he did was make those irritating noises and then the actors pretended those whistles and clicks made sense. It was like a dumb Saturday Night Live skit, that they kept reviving for every single movie. Sheer torture. So when Star Wars fans complain about how idiotic some new character is, I wonder--were they not watching those other movies, with all the other idiotic characters? It's on brand.
