I. Chewbacca should have fought a wampa. For three Star Wars movies, we take it on faith that you don’t want to get a Wookiee angry, after he successfully threatens, uh, C-3PO. What evidence do we actually see? Chewie knocks down a couple of stormtroopers, once, by surprise, and manages to hijack an AT-ST with some Ewoks’ help.
     The fix: Han is gearing up to hunt for Luke. “Sir,” the deck officer says, “the temperature’s dropping too rapidly.”
     “And,” Leia adds, “you’ll miss Chewie’s cage match.”
     “I know,” Han answers, leaning down from his tauntaun to hug his friend. “Good luck, buddy.” He turns to the deck officer. “And I’ll see you in hell!” He bounces off.
     Scenes of him searching for Luke, battling the cold, and slicing open the tauntaun while the wind howls are interspersed with scenes of Chewie searching for a way to defeat the snow monster, battling it, and slicing it open while the crowd howls. Symmetry.

II. The bounty hunters should have fought each other in a Bloodsport-style tournament. All those awesome characters, and all George Lucas can give us is the non-canon Tales of the Bounty Hunters, which is in book form, making it very hard to imagine how everything that happens looks. In ESB, we see Bossk sneer at Boba Fett—and that’s it. That breaks one of the cardinal rules in Robert McKee’s Story: If one character sneers at another and they don’t throw down later, the movie is ruined.
     The fix: “You are free to use any methods necessary,” Vader says, “but I want them alive. No disintegrations.”
     “As you wish,” Fett answers. He looks at the other bounty hunters. “Not that you crumbheads will have to worry about finding them anyway.”
     Dengar bristles. “Who are you calling a crumbhead?” [Note: "Crumbhead" is a total Corellian insult.] He steps to Fett.
     “Watch it,” Fett says. “My dad killed most of the Jedi.”
     There is silence. Finally, IG-88 says, “That’s quite a stretch.”
     “Enough!” Vader yells. “We will settle this in the cage.”

III. There is only one strong woman character. OK, this is a genuinely serious concern. Name one female besides Leia in the original trilogy whose name doesn’t start with an M or a B. By my count, you should be left with Jabba’s dancers and Sy Snootles. And none of them appears in ESB or is anything close to dynamic or well rounded. Sure, Leia is a formidable presence by herself, but this still smacks of sexism. Even that pig James Bond usually encountered at least a couple of tough women in every story.
     The fix: Instead of hiding from the Imperials in the asteroid belt, Han pilots the Falcon to an out-of-the-way planet called, like, I don’t know, Sororia, maybe, ruled by a faction of fierce—and very beautiful—Amazon types. Leia, sensing a bond with these proud warriors, tries to convert them to the Rebel cause. But their leader, whose name is, like, Kylissa or something, thinks the Alderaanian princess is trying to usurp her power.
     “Enough!” Kylissa yells. “Get the warm baby oil. We will settle this in the cage.”

IV. We don’t learn enough about Lobot. I dunno, he just seems like a cool guy. When he stops abruptly and gestures, and the Bespin guards disarm the stormtroopers, that’s solid.
     The fix: Just give him a little more screen time. Or a DVD extra. Maybe a talk show.

V. There are no references to Grand Moff Tarkin. Probably some of you nitpicky nancies can find flaws in the flaws I’ve mentioned above—WHOA META—but I hardly think you can argue this one. When a major character, especially a very handsome major character, dies in a movie, the sequel usually acknowledges it. It’s poor form not to.
     The fix: “The Force is strong with him,” the Emperor says. “The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi.”
     “If he could be turned, he would become a powerful ally,” Vader replies.
     “Yes. Yes. He would be a great asset. Can it be done?”
     Vader nods. “He will join us or die, my master.” He kneels, and there is a pause. “I miss Wilhuff.”

Now, I could happily go on for roughly several years about how much the Matrix sequels betrayed the potential of the first movie by, well, not continuing to rip off Grant Morrison's The Invisibles comics like the first one did. But you all know that already.

Instead, I just want to ask: Is everybody insane? The Matrix was, even before the sequels and everyone getting bored with "bullet-time," at best a reasonably entertaining movie with some absolutely appalling acting — It's not just you, Keanu, Lawrence Fishburne was kind of calling it in as well — and dialogue that has made puppies cry. I've got nothing against popcorn eyecandy (I have a secret soft spot for the Transformers movie, I have to admit), but how the hell is that movie seriously a contender for the best sci-fi movie ever?

Is this a generational thing? Am I being a grumpy old man complaining that there shouldn't be any sound in space when seeing Star Wars for the first time? And what should the best sci-fi movie of all time be? The comments are there for a reason, people. Best sci-fi movie ever [Rankopedia]
