    Somebody had pointed this out in a different thread but it's too good of an Easter egg to not discuss.

    Coincidence?

    or

    Is JJ paying tribute to Mr. Plinkett for his reviews of the PT and for nominating JJ to direct Star Wars?

    Sure lol!
    actually plinkett said in 2009 that Abrams should direct a star wars movie.

    and we shouldn´t forget that Plinketts success was kickstarted with a tweet from D. Lindelof (Lost, STitD writer)
    and actually Plinkett just said something about this in his latest Teaser review.


    So everything kinda rhymes.

    Not a fan of his reviews (honestly, he comes off as a pompous ass), but it was a nice try.

    I was hoping this thread was going to reveal that we might see Shatnerians in TFA.

    Pardon my ignorance as I am not a Trekkie but...
    Are Shatnerians the Star Trek equivalent of Midichlorians?

    The dude probably looks like he still lives in his mom's basement eating hot pockets playing Wow and Dungeons and Dragons every day. A loser in life that he feels satisfaction and validation of his pathetic life by coming up with some scrappy and mediocre-at-best video that many people bought into.

    I know most people on here hate Plinkett, but I find his reviews hilarious, and have watched them more than I have watched the prequels.

    He's a fictional character made up by the people over at red letter media. Fooled you I guess.

    If that's the case, surely this so-called "company" embodies the description I gave in some way, shape, or form.

    Because of that, I couldn't take him serious.

    It's a skit but he does make some great points also.

    Exactly. He makes great intelligent points. He actually articulates critiques of those films way better than I could. Sprinkle in some dark humor and it's gold. Drives prequel fanboys nuts.

    Me too. Although clearly satire, Plinkett's reviews are the truth.

    The best thing that can be said about the PT is that at least it is not the steaming pile that Star Trek was. My god, the Shatnerians in that clip fully illustrate the point.
