IIRC their Half in the Bag reviews of at least The Force Awakens immediately after first seeing it was positive too.

This freight shipment off some container ship from China will be the last time anything approaching sane inventory management came into contact with Ethan's business. At this point, those pallets have been broken down and all the boxes stacked directly on the floor (as seen in previous EVS Behind the Scenes footage) by his crack team of teenaged warehouse temps. He's always one Super Big Gulp spill away from hundreds of dollars in inventory loss at any given moment. So, while he could hire staff, what would he instruct them to do and how would they be instructed to do it?
He needs to hire a business/operations manager with some -any- warehouse or inventory experience. This doesn't have to be anything fancy. A glorified part-time personal assistant would do. We're talking the kind of basic skills that you pick up working a summer job at the local supermarket a la "put everything on skids / pallets / floats - not ever directly on the floor." Of course, he would then need to have product flowing through at all times to give them something to do, but then that's on him. But, you're right. It makes no sense for him to be doing this himself and is actually slightly embarrassing.

Star Wars sperging ahead:
Nearly all my friends who grew up on the OT love RotJ. It's easily the most highly revered of the three in my peer group.
I used to think ESB was the best of them, mainly because the tone was so different especially when compared to the shiny, almost candy coated look of RotJ. It's kind of like the conversation between Dante and Randall in Clerks when Randall asks which one Dante liked better: Empire or Jedi. Dante likes Empire better because he's a doomer and says the events of Empire are more relatable because life is "a series of down notes". Randall thinks preferring Empire is "blasphemy".
Jedi was my favorite when I was a kid. I loved Empire when I was an edgy blackpilled teenager/twenty-something who didn't care about shit. At my advanced age, I absolutely think A New Hope (or "Star Wars") is the best. It's a simple, self contained story with an ending. It's a timeless, good vs evil story that appeals to people of all ages. There's no real moral ambiguity (aside from Han being a scoundrel) and everything is neatly wrapped up. If they'd left it at that, it would be considered a one and done classic like The Wizard of Oz instead of a tired ass "franchise" that turned off half its fanbase.
In many ways I think ESB was the beginning of the problems with Star Wars, specifically Vader being revealed as Anakin Skywalker. That one thing hamstrung the whole narrative when you take a step back and look at the entire saga. All the problems with that single plot point are laid bare in the prequels and show just how little of the story was planned out in advance.
As for Jedi, I think it's the weakest and most poorly written of the trilogy. Not to say there aren't good things about it. The space battle at the end is glorious. The final confrontation between Luke, Vader, and the Emperor is a fantastic moment and the lightsaber duel between Luke and Vader is brutal and contains more emotional intensity than any of the flashy, flippy, over-choreographed dance numbers that came after. Jedi has arguably the best score out of any of the films in the entire series.
But the writing is unforgivably bad and lazy. The second Death Star is an absolutely awful, uninspired idea and should never have been the finale. C-3PO had no business joining the Endor landing party and was only useful to speak to the natives that nobody knew even existed because they all thought the forest moon was uninhabited. Han Solo and Chewbacca are never in the Falcon one single time in the whole movie and that's what they do, for fuck's sake. Lando is cool and all but him and Vagina Face zipping around in the most recognizable vehicle in the series lacks a certain something. Honestly, Han doesn't really do shit the entire film except trade shitty zingers with 3PO. Well, that's not true. He also accidentally slapstick kills the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy while blinded, Fett's death leading to a Wilhelm scream and the second burp gag in the movie. The Leia reveal is absolute bullshit and even Lucas admits he only put it in there because he felt Jedi needed a "wow" moment like Empire had, so he just recycled it with a different character.
And I didn't even go into the Ewok thing like most Jedi haters.

That was great! Honestly I didn't see what Frog saw in this guy before, but now I really like him. He reminds me a bit of the Hut, in the way he instantly smelled the dork coming off of Frog and Cecil and took a step back.

"You turn the fucking camera on. Hit Record. [Unintelligible] on cam, keep it in frame. [Unintelligible] in a timely manner. Then... you click off. The camera. Turn around upload that to Youtube. No livestreams; no sit there doing fucking nothing and ebegging. 'Uw, lemme check the superchats...' That's like a guy on the side of the road like 'Hey guy, just give me money.' Moltlicker videos run the fuckin' net and if you don't understand that get the fuck off the net. You came to me, I didn't come to you."

Holy shit. They've been humping this guy's leg for a solid week and he responds by dragging his balls across their oily nerd t-zones. Cecil and @FROG on suicide watch.
EVS BTFO:
Men lie. Women lie. The numbers don't. Nuke inbound:
"I'll make you a star." Apparently, Cecil thought since that lets-assume-i'm-dealing-with-a-dumb-narcisstic-whore line worked so well in turning Anna into a thirst trap that he'd employ a similar tact on a surly middle-aged alcoholic that apparently gives zero fucks:
59-seconds of JAC(K) Show takedown is 59-seconds more prep than they put into the "show."
Listen-up e-celeb comic book guys:
- DON'T do a fuckin' livestream
- DON'T e-beg
- DO turn your fuckin' camera on and hit record
- DO crack it (?) on cam and keep it in frame
- DO [unintelligible] in a timely manner
- DO Click off and upload to YouTube
"You came to me. I didn't come to you." oof...
"This ain't comics. A fun fact for ya: nobody gives a fuck."
I'm frequently accused of reading too much into things and occasionally that is true but I can't help but think that they failed in doing their due-diligence on a prospective guest and perhaps did not adequately appreciate what this gentleman is about. Namely, that he is decidedly not about comic books and superheroes and he is in fact strongly about St. Ides High Gravity Malt Liquor, which I kind of feel like in retrospect is probably the context in which this gentleman should have been respectfully approached.
If this is all a pro wrestling bit I'll be disappointed. I really want to believe that Cecil's corrupting influence and gross ineptitude has taken CG to fresh depths of despair and humiliation. So, will the "comic book guys" admit their arrogant presumptuousness and cam-up with a 40 oh-zee of malt liquor or will they lose? The gauntlet has been thrown-down. It is what it is.

I hesitated suggesting the rasslin' angle since it'd be the perfect out for them even if this is real. If not and its a work then the Masked Moltlicker has real talent. He possesses a sense of timing that can't be taught.

There must come a point in Youtube Celebrity where you lose a sense of reality. This dude is fucking retarded and efapping him is at least twice as stupid.
It's like the Jack Show and Frog watched "Dinner For Schmucks" and decided to start their own version of who could bring the most eccentric idiot to dinner.

The first part of the video the guy shows a clip of a Frog stream where the gang is talking about their NFT plans. It doesn't make sense until you take in the rest of the video and then it's clear that when he got that initial pop from Frog last week he did do some reasearch and his first impressions are that these are all just a bunch of lazy fucking grifters (with no malt liquor).
That should be a huge wake-up call for the gang. This is how new people looking at CG for the first time see it now. If things don't change quickly then they'd better hope to squeeze every last penny from the existing buyers because no new ones are coming. And get some malt liquor.

Oddly enough, Mr. Steele's YouTube profile pic and several videos feature him without a mask on so the fact that his motivation appears to not be anonymity and instead be the general principle of content and "character" over low-effort facefagging and friend-simulator live e-begging marathons lends credence, in my opinion, to the general thrust of his argument vis-à-vis JACK Show / CG. Is he retarded? Quite probable, indeed. However, it appears at least on the surface to be a "retardation" of consistently held and applied principles. His bar is just exceedingly low. God ordains perfect praise out of the mouth of babes and sucklings and apparently, valid criticism from abject retards. But it's in the context of that low bar of boorish behavior that Mr. Steele paradoxically finds clarity in spurning Cecil & Ethan's advances and speaking truth to their condition.
Is he wrong? I don't think so. Is there anything more to be made from this fellow and his channel? Not necessarily. I believe the presumption that there should be is what tripped up Cecil and Ethan in the first place. What more do you want from a guy in a mask who sits in his garage amongst several high-mileage garage-kept "American muscle cars" and makes short videos while drinking high alcohol content poverty beer and eating fast food? I mean, was he supposed to appear on JACK Show and sit around for 4+ hours and simp for Anna like Dale Keown? I'm not sure what the supposed synergy or value proposition was.

WE MISSED HIS YT COMMUNITY TAB!
Looks like he was initially receptive to a collab:
Discusses livestream invites on his other channel a few hours before dropping the nukes we've been discussing.
Spoiler: he's really not a fan of the livestream:
Dude's twitter appears to be mainly him promoting his videos that celebrate athlete injuries:
He also has a Rumble channel for the vids removed by Youtube:
Sell a doll of that shit! Now we're talking action figures!
Oh look, Frog streamed a reaction vid already this morning. 40oz guy is just looking for attention... He wants clout! That's why he rejected you...
Who gave him that attention to begin with stupid? Because you thought you could get some clicks off him too, possibly a superchat or two!
The meat of it starts here:

I don't know who that is but many, many people love RotJ. To each his own, but I can't say I agree with his estimation that it's "perfect".

After reading your previous post I realized you and I had a very similar trajectory through SW fandom, favoring RotJ when we were young, then preferring ESB as we got older before finally realizing ANH is the strongest of the three films.
I think I might compare RotJ to The Dark Knight Rises, in that it's rife with potholes and easily the weakest of the trilogy narratively, yet somehow manages to be more "fun" than the two films leading up to it, resulting in it being regarded as sort of a guilty pleasure.

To me, RotJ generated a generation of furries, since there is some furry thing in every single scene.
ESB has the priviledge of being the LA movie where George Lucas was the less involved.

IMO (although no one asked), the Original Trilogy peaked with ANH and barely stuck the landing with RotJ (as the engines were getting hopelessly clogged with Ewoks).
Prequel Trilogy had its moments, but all downhill from there.

At the risk of dating myself or power leveling, I was an elementary school age kid when Jedi came out. One of my earliest "going to the movies" memories is standing in a fucking HUGE line to see it. Like blocks long. That's no exaggeration, we stood in line for a couple of hours. It was my first SW experience on the big screen and I was entranced the entire time. I remember being sort of scared of the Rancor scene and marking the fuck out when Luke did the whole "flex new green saber and go HAM on Jabba's goons" bit. Funny enough, I didn't give a single shit about Ewoks even though that part was specifically targeted at kids my age. I remember finding them annoying, even if I wanted them to beat the Empire (even though how they did it is highly improbable).
The point of all that being Jedi had a definite impact on me when I was young and that's part of why it was my favorite for a long time. Even when I enjoyed ESB more, I never really acknowledged the problems with Jedi as a movie. That came later when I found myself paying more attention to things like the plot, character motivation and tonal consistency when it came to movies in general. In conversations with people in my age range that also had fond memories of Jedi, it seems that very few of them really thought about what was going on in the movie and their appreciation is centered only on how they felt about it when they were kids. I remember a conversation about Star Wars I had with a co-worker a couple of years ago and we started talking about Jedi and I said "Isn't it weird that Han and Chewie are never in the Falcon once during the entire thing?". He just sort of looked at me weird and said "What"? Followed by "Holy shit, you're right". He never really bothered to think about the thing happening in the movie, just how he remembered it making him feel when he was a kid.
Your comparison to TDKR is apt, though. It's kind of fun even if it doesn't always make sense.

Also keep in mind that Jedi premiered the same year as the Disney Channel. There's no telling how much damage was done by Ewoks combined with 24 hr access to the Disney version of Maid Marian from Robin Hood.
