** Week 151 is "5 Second Films: Special Edition", where the team has taken pot shot after pot shot at [[George Lucas]] and his "improvements" of the original [[Star Wars]] trilogy, either adding in needless [[Conspicuous CGI]] to classic videos, bowlderizing some of the more vulgar ones, or editing them in ways that are [[Completely Missing the Point]] and ruining the original joke. For anybody who didn't get the joke with Brian looking like George Lucas, sitting in his director's seat the whole time in front of nothing but green screens, and having a constant cup of coffee in his hand, along with a [[Suspiciously Similar Song]] version of the Star Wars opening playing after each video, in the last one they used footage and sound clips from Episode III (Darth Vader's NO! scene)
