  2. lineage (lineage) · through Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983), which they worked on as editor: Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi ⇒ The Phantom Menace (the host's read). The Obi-Wan log scene starts the over-explanation that typifies the prequels.

  3. lineage (lineage) · through Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983), which they worked on as editor: Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi ⇒ The Phantom Menace (the host's read). Ewok guerrilla tactics echo the Gungan thing in Phantom Menace, though that one is far worse.
    “And it just sort of reminds you of the Gungen thing, which is way worse, but is in the same, like, ballpark.”
