[up] Ah, yes, "pandering", a word that pretty means nothing.

[up] The video description said it.

Though the entire thing's clearly written in jest, so I don't think it's supposed to mean anything.

Oh God! Natural light!

It's literally their job to mock things, after all.

Although they were pretty on-point this time. :3

Unlike its predecessor, Rifftrax doesn't only do bad movies yanno.

The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and placed his hand on its head: "You are Hagrid now."

And TFA is honestly kind of an easy target.

It's been a long time since Rifftrax has done blockbuster movie riffs, so I'm glad to see them back at it.

And they've always enjoyed lighthearted pokes at Star Wars. Some of the Original Trilogy riffs and the Holiday Special one even had them quoting articles from Wookieepedia.

IIRC, they find some way to make fun of Kit Fisto's name in every single Star Wars track.

I didn't write any of that.

I'm still not sure if my love for that name is ironic or not. Probably both.

Riffing the Holiday Special is like beating up a guy in a wheelchair: it's easy and - if you're particularly cruel - even kind of fun, but you feel sort of bad about it later.

Riffing the Holiday Special, in my opinion, is the only way to survive. And even then most don't make it out alive.

I watched a stream of the Holiday Special on another site last Christmas. It's everything everyone says it is; makes the prequels look like Citizen Kane.

Some pantywaists are upset because supposedly TFA used the "wrong" font for the opening text-crawl.
