It gets its own chart, it wouldn't be fair on other movies otherwise.

If it helps, he didn't.

You have to start with how Star Wars ends - a broom flying into a boy's hand - to understand what Star Wars is. You have to end with a parade and Brian Blessed yelling 'peace!' because that is the optimum way to end any narrative. The middle has to lay out how ironic the declaration of peace is.

'The hero will grow old, the hero will fail, the hero will never know peace, only an emptied shell that looks like peace, until they see the spark of hope they have nurtured passed on to the next hero.'

(Otherwise it's a series about Darth Vader, not Luke).

(Watched in that order, of course.)

The electorate just isn't ready for The Last Jedi, Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith, Empire Strikes Back, The Phantom Menace. It just isn't. Baby steps. The correct top five will, one day, be politically mainstream.

This is, in many ways, a boring centrist ranking. A more daring candidate would have perhaps have thrown a prequel higher and either ESB or Rogue One lower. But this list isn't egregiously wrong.

It is probably worth noting that the pattern of response for the techbros being called out is not 'ha ha, I love a good roast, and I can take it', it's 'I will ruin the media outlet that published this, possibly by buying it and trying to run it, because I am bad at running things' <- I did a roast.

He does them! There's a clip where he's roasting some American Footballer, clearly doesn't know who his target is, but has learned that the stranger has brothers who are also players of American Football, and his joke is 'you're the 3rd best American footballer ... in your family'. Textbook lazy.

So the idea of Musk automating that process to cut out the comedian is probably the darkest roast in the history of roasts. Yeah, sorry, Nikki, Clippy's cheaper.

They/their writers brainstorm a thing from the Controversies or Personal Life bit of the celeb's wiki. 'That's not what you told the family of that sex worker who drowned!'.

Audience feigns horror, then feigns laughter. Caption over comedian's head reads 'bank balance +$10,000'.

I think what's most interesting about the clips I've seen is that the comedians are at their absolute most deadeyed and impersonal.

It's kind of like the antimatter version of fans at conventions paying a chunk of cash to get a photo taken with an actor off the telly.

You only get a roast if you're successful enough to be insulated from the consequences of your actions.

I think what's really interesting here is that ... well, roasts are shit, aren't they? The big ones they put on telly are, at least. Oh look, a celebrity can take it, where 'it' is 'being paid money while comedians and their writers note with interest that they're a bit dumb or short or whatever'.
