Everything You Know About Star Wars Is Wrong...

[FactsOfLife]

this guy refuses to acknowledge the books that come before and after the star wars movies proper, only to bolster his points.

what utter crap. how easy is it to take the empire out of context that way and make it seem they are the good guys.

and speaking of anarchic rebels, seems to me we were considered that very thing by the Brits.


Then we kicked their behinds...

Responding to questions in a 1997 MTV promo for the Special Editions, George Lucas said: "I don't know why. [Laughs]. I'm mystified by it. He's a mysterious character. He's a provocative character. He seems like an all powerful character, except he gets killed. Although he's gotten killed, the people who right the books, and everything, and the comics say 'we cant kill him, we gotta bring him back, we can't let him die!'"
you can even see the
video of george saying it.

yep, and every book written in the EU is vetted by GL himself. he actually nixed a book by one author because he didn't like the story line. Ended up giving it to another writer entirely.

Well here's a few more points to add about the empire being evil that the writer seem to ignore. (Using movie references not any books.)


1. Hunting down and killing of all Jedi. (Luke, Yoda, and Obi won are the last Jedi - not counting Leia because she is not trained. When Obi won is gone and Yoda is about to dye does he not tell Luke that he is the last Jedi in one of the movies.)

2. Palpatine is playing everybody against each other to seize power! It's not like Dooku (Darth Tyrannus) is really out to stop the republic because things are unfair. He's doing it to trick the republic into giving Palpatine military might! He goes to his master in the last scene!

I hear you and agree, however that guy could just spin what you put and say that they had to hunt the jedi because they were a threat and the he simply conned his weak enemy out of power....I dunno, my 2 cents.
