      There is an anecdote from Soviet Union, that goes like this:

      Citizen: But what am I even accused of, I'm just a suspect?
      Cheka: See these people walking along the street outside? They are the suspects.

      I know for a fact that back when the 'Thrawn Trilogy' was released, Lucas was asked for his opinion.
      He said, "no comment."
      Apart from the Original Trilogy, Timothy Zahn's work is the best Star Wars ever put into writing.
      Then later, Lucas relented and nowadays he appears to appreciate the work. Or perhaps he doesn't want to alienate more fans.

It's sort of humanizing to see that the galaxy wouldn't just be some kind of utopia just because the Empire isn't there. And love or hate the Empire, you just *know* that they'd get blamed for damn near everything that goes wrong, whether they actually had anything to do with it at all or not, so Luke seeing the explosion and just automatically assuming they did it just makes sense. Really well done.

    Imagine 1997 when this came out. There was no RUclips, Facebook and Twitter. Star Wars fan skits already were a thing before social media came by. What we only had before were fan websites and video upload services were these videos were put in. The biggest things then were yahoo, Netscape, lycos, AOL, compuserve.

    • @SuperBatfreak
      @SuperBatfreak 5 лет назад +19

      Elemental Entity I strongly disagree again, but thats my oppinion. Vader looks odd in all movies, there are are just shots that make him look odd since its a constricted suit. You cant do allot of stuff for 100.000$ dollars, most of it goes in production, that includes tech, custumes, CGI, sets and permits to film, paying actors. I dont know what scene your saying its ripping of, dont remember him fighting Clones troopers or the emperor lol.
      - The whole Padme thing is cannon in the comics, and Theory is just exploring more of it. Hes haunted by it, and it only fuels his hate for himself and others.

      Good point. They didn't even really verify if that particular droid was stolen or not. Let alone had they seen any evidence of weapons. Then again, we are talking Empire rule here, and they aren't exactly known for lenient policy when it comes to complying. Any good ambulance chasers around Mos Eisley?
