iliad au where everything is the same except every time agamemnon goes on an angry rant he prefaces it with “aga-scuse me???”
“Aga-scuse me, old man,
don’t let me catch you by our hollow ships,
sneaking back here today or later on.
Who cares about Apollo’s scarf and staff?
I’ll not release the girl to you, no, not before
she’s grown old with me in Argos, far from home,
working the loom, sharing my bed. Go away.
If you want to get home safely, don’t anger me. It’s Agamem-non, not Agamem-oui.”

man the dialogue in Return of the Jedi is sometimes so awful that you cannot help but laugh
Speaking of RotJ, how terrible was Palpatine’s master plan with Luke??? Like….it was first be evil with us so cool then it became be evil by killing me i win hahaha and then it was actually that was a stupid plan kill him so good and then it was like FUCK ALL OF THIS
And, like, I really see the family resemblance between Luke’s Super Awesome Plan Skills and dad’s. Sure, let’s just pick this lighting porcupine fartsack up and, yeah, throw out the garbage. This is directly related to Luke’s plan of ‘let’s just walk in on jabba and then get captured one at a time and then more captured and then demeaned and captured all for my CUNNING PLAN OF HITTING EVERYTHING NEARBY.’
also I got the impression that the ewoks were actually not included in the planning stage of “attack the force generator” because (a) they weren’t and (b) everyone was under the impression that han’s group would do the trick because of Evil Plan Reasons. And yet somehow the Ewoks had an incredibly Home Alone arsenal of trickery without the Setting Up The Trickery montage. What gives??
Did people really like ewoks when this film came out? Like, deep down? Or was it just Lucas and his militia teddy bear games?
You know what I love about the Jabba sequence in RotJ though? I love how many alien races are sticky or drippy or just downright disgusting to look at. The way planets get blown up in this series, whole species probably come and go and then have to find a way to breed or at least to live and it’s so cool how weird they can get.
all of han’s plans seem to be pretty legit, comparatively. I mean, he’s trying. He makes the effort to talk to the dude over the intercom or try to bargain out of things and then there’s Luke over there swooning around being like I AM A DANGER TO EVERYONE I LOVE, I SHOULD PROBABLY DIEand people have to keep being like FINE, LUKE, BUT ACTUALLY COULD YOU MAYBE MAKE ONE OF THE OFFICIAL MEETINGS, WE HAVE A REBELLION TO RUN HERE.
Also the way he swans in like I TOO SHALL JOIN HAN’S TEAM, YAY TEAM, EVERYONE HUG ME
Also I feel like maybe he and Ben still chat and Ben is the one who convinced him to grow his beard. Not, like, cool Alec Guiness beard, but full on Ewan I-make-my-own-lightsaber-noises MacGregor beard, the kind that looks like someone pulled the stuffing out of a teddy bear on glued it to their face because they wanted to look like a grown up.
