Vengeful George Lucas Crushes Critic Opposed to ‘Stinky the Hutt’

By STV on August 12, 2008 at 4:00 AM

We never thought it could happen, but the fanboy bloom may officially — and dramatically — be off the Star Wars franchise after 30 loving years of devotion: Ain’t it Cool News boss Harry Knowles has written a scathing review of the franchise’s new, animated The Clone Wars. And we mean scathing — vicious enough to not only shake our faith in geek compliance to its very foundation, but also rouse George Lucas from his afternoon cash-bath with a cease-and-desist order straight from the top.
Naturally, Knowles capitulated — he did break the Lucas/Warner Bros. review embargo, we guess — but his insight into a true travesty of imagination has resurfaced elsewhere. And for sheer bile (excerpted after the jump), we’ve got to say we’re really quite proud of the plus-size pushover’s efforts:

(T)hey introduced Baby Jabba aka Rotta the Huttlet aka Stinky. … (But) wait … Little Stinky the Hutt isn’t the worst character in the history of STAR WARS… because Stinky got introduced earlier in the film. As much as I hated lil Stinky… I was weathering Stinky. I seriously was. But later there was a character of such immense **** - offensively bad. The character was so bad, so incredibly awful - that it was a slap to the face. It woke me out of my ****-accepting stupor and made me angry. SUDDENLY my “inner fanboy rage” was awoken. …

I watched this terrifyingly awful character named Ziro the Hutt. A seemingly female Hutt - with tattoos and make-up that sounds like a racist take on a Black New Orleans Crack-Dealing Whore. Because this Hutt speaks ENGLISH - and it is many times worse than I’m actually describing. This character was actually too much for me. So bad that every flaw I was looking past, was now a road sign to inadequacy and mediocrity. … I hated the score, the animation, the shots, the characters and most of all the retarded ******** idiot story.

I hated the film. HATED IT. REALLY HATED IT.

More like this, Harry, seriously. And: If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times: A jailed George Lucas is a harmless George Lucas. Send in the SWAT team.

    Ahhh....it seems to have been pulled from AintItCool.

    They must be feeling the wrath of Lucas.
