Secret Agent Wookie

A New Sith, or Revenge of the Hope

Okay--the Star Wars movies make sense now. Sorta. You just have to assume that Chewie is a brilliant, manipulative secret agent of the Rebellion. And a few other things. But it explains it all.

Sigh.

I figure at this point about a million times as much brainpower has gone into justifying the various twists of Lucas' creation as it would've taken to rewrite things so it would make sense in the first place.

Brilliant.

I've linked this everywhere it'll stick. I agree: it's just proof about how terrible a storyteller Lucas is, that it takes this much work to validate his story.

BWAAAA!

That's awesome - I think it's safe to say that "this is the story you have been looking for"

This is great--I'd pay good money to read a book based on this.

Whoof. Works for me.

We knew there would be more implications than were actually seen in STAR WARS as soon as EMPIRE STRIKES BACK came out. I attended a fun evening of sci-fi film trailers at that time, the last of which was an early trailer for STAR WARS. When they came around to Luke's line, "I wanna be a Jedi like my father," the place busted up in laughter. No you don't, kid!
