RPO, what is there to even remember? What is even the plot of RPO, beyond 'Pop Culture Reference' and 'Consoom'?

It had like that big scene full of video game characters, including a bunch of Current Year ones that future viewers will never recognize.

I remember reading from somewhere that Lucas wanted Han Solo to be a frog in A New Hope. I guess if he had had free rein to implement his vision completely according to his own will during that time, ANH would have been full of slapstick humor, Han Solo and Luke stepping on turds on the streets of Mos Eisley and sniffing the camel farts like Jar Jar Binks. The guys at the production company were real dullards in limiting his views and saying shite like "Nope George, that would cost a helluva lot of money and it's a pretty shit idea overall". With APM George really got to show 'em.

If theres one thing ill credit crystal skull for. Its that at least its bad because of stupid story decisions and not because some new guy wanted to turn the franchise into something its not and failing. Honestly, i really dont find the film to be all that bad. It is the worst indy film but i feel it gets way too much hate for what is basically on par with the star wars prequels in terms of quality.

The movie has its moments, but it gets seriously watered down by a couple scenes with too much goofy shit.
I mean, you have this goofy scene where Shia LaBitch plays Tarzan while everyone else has this weird car chase through the world's most spacious jungle.
Or the alien reveal where it turns out these aliens are needlessly esoteric because they're like from a different dimension or something. Some weird shit about how all these multiple alien corpses are actually the same guy, and then the UFO just vanishes instead of flying off into space.

Honestly, a lot of the flaws probably would have been overlooked if they didn't get fucking Shia LaBeouf to play Jones Jr.

The CG is ugly and the alien twist is stupid - it still would have been crapped on.

Yes but LaBeef was the difference between 'eh it's not as bad as Temple of Doom' and 'Oy vey it's annudah Prequels'

Temple of Doom isn't bad at all. Temple of Doom is almost kind of great minus Kate Capshaw.

Temple is the best one. Raiders is ugly and overrated. Crusade looks cheap.

Crusade looks cheap.

How dare you. Crusade had Sean Connery and is therefore automatically the best one.
