The sin counter goes into overdrive when there's a guest star

For those that don't know, CinemaSins is a channel on YouTube that has for a few years now, been "sinning" movies, whether these be continuity/filming errors, plot errors, or just "errors" that are delivered in a humorous style. The end sin total doesn't reflect much and this is even stated by the channel itself (in the "Everything Wrong with CinemaSins" video), but I do like the channel.

Sometimes, Jeremy—the narrator—invites guests to narrate. Past examples include the Nostalgia Critic (for The Grinch Who Stole Christmas) and even Neil deGrasse Tyson (for Gravity and Interstellar). CinemaSins recently did a video on Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. This provoked a largely negative reaction from the CinemaSins community, both in the YouTube comments—which is unsurprising, but still significant—and in the /r/CinemaSins subreddit.

Every video gets linked by a bot to the /r/CinemaSins subreddit, and this was no exception. All of the top comments agree; Kevin Smith was a bad choice. Some cite the juvenile humor, others the 30 second rambling about something that would have been dinged and moved from (see here), not a diatribe.

However, not all agree, and some took it upon themselves to make posts expressing this.

Another person also thinks this.
