The Star Wars Trilogy, as retold by Amanda (who hasn't seen Star Wars)
Amanda retells the story of Star Wars with remarkable accuracy, considering she's never actually seen Star Wars. This is either a sign of how universal are the underlying themes and motifs from Star Wars, or how often Star Wars geeks like to tell Amanda about this movie she's never going to see.

This is well worth the three minutes you'll spend watching it.

1. She may not have seen the trilogy...
...but she or someone very like her wrote the prequels.

2. Star Wars was OK, but jeez - I just don't get the obsession
Same with Star Trek. It was a good show, don't get me wrong. But did it deserve THAT amount of devotion?

Did any movie or book? Yeah, Tolkien, I'm talking to YOU!

4. After Nietzsche killed God, people have to fill their brains with something
and Star Wars is a heck of a lot less toxic than filling your head with Fox News paranoia.

5. There's nothing malevolent about it
Good v Evil, the staple of many plots

Its a good story - but I don't get the rest
