CA Bluesky post from Bugs Maytrix is asking the real question: is Return of the Jedi a good movie?
LI mean, it's the one with the Ewoks. That's a whole debate by itself.
CBugs says no, it's not good, and it's not even their favorite. But it does have Salacious Crumb.
LThe little lizard jester in Jabba's palace. That's the hill they're dying on.
CAnd honestly? I respect it. That creature is unhinged. It laughs at people being dropped into a pit.
LIt's the only character in that movie with a consistent worldview. Pure chaos agent.
CBut here's my thing: Return of the Jedi has the best space battle in the original trilogy. The Death Star run is incredible.
LThe Death Star run is great, but the first half is a rescue mission that takes forever. And the Ewoks beat the Empire with sticks.
CThat's the point! The Empire underestimates them. It's about hubris.
LNo, it's about selling teddy bears. You can't tell me that was the plan from the start.
CI'm not saying it's perfect. I'm saying Salacious Crumb alone makes it worth watching.
LOkay, fine. We agree on the lizard. Moving on.
CSpeaking of things people are arguing about: a Bluesky user named Ollie McClellan posted a photo with the caption, 'What in the Hallmark holiday movie character?'
LNo context, just vibes. And honestly, that's the most Hallmark thing you can post.
CIt's got a hundred and seventeen likes, which tells me a lot of people saw that photo and thought, yeah, that person is about to save a small-town bakery.
LOr they're a big-city lawyer who needs to learn the true meaning of Christmas. It's a whole genre.
CThe best part is, we don't even know who's in the photo. It's just a vibe check.
LThat's the internet in 2026. No facts, just feelings. And a hundred and seventeen people felt seen.
CDifferent world entirely: a Bluesky user named Cara posted about a documentary, calling it 'the best edited documentary I've ever seen.'
LThat's a big claim. Editing is what makes or breaks a documentary. You can have great footage and still lose people.
CCara didn't name the film, which is driving me crazy. What documentary is this good?
LRight? You can't just drop 'best edited documentary ever' and walk away. That's a tease.
CMaybe it's one of those films where the editing is the story. Like, the way they cut between timelines or interviews.
LOr it's a music doc. Those live or die on rhythm. A bad cut can kill a concert film.
CI'm going to be thinking about this all night. What documentary has editing that good?
LIf Cara's listening, drop the title. We need to know.
CAnd one more from Bluesky: a user called Give Dogs the Vote posted, 'Exactly. I doubt Robin Williams ever lost a movie money.'
LThat's a wild claim. Robin Williams was in some flops. What about 'Bicentennial Man'?
CI think they mean he never lost money for the studio. Like, his name alone guaranteed a return.
LThat's still not true. 'Death to Smoochy' was a bomb. 'Jakob the Liar' didn't exactly print cash.
CBut look at his run: 'Aladdin,' 'Mrs. Doubtfire,' 'Good Will Hunting.' The man had range and box office pull.
LHe had both, but nobody's perfect. Even Tom Hanks has 'The Circle.'
CFair. But the post is really about how beloved he was. People wanted him to win.
LThat's true. He's one of those actors where you root for the movie to be good because he's in it.
CAnd when it wasn't, you still didn't blame him. That's a rare thing.
LOkay, but I'm not letting 'never lost money' slide. That's just not how Hollywood works.
CNoted. The record is corrected. Robin Williams was great, but not infallible at the box office.
