To get back to what this thread was originally about. I have visited the official site many, many times and the two big discussions that I find most amusing are the who Master Sifo Dias (I'm not sure how that is spelled) is or was and his so called importance and the Palpatine/Darth Sidious discussions. I've read some really ridiculous things on both topics. Sifo Dias was really Qui Gon, Palpatine isn't Sidious but is really being controlled by him, Sidious will be Emperor after he kills Palpatine, Palpatine is a clone of Sidious, ect. These always strike me as funny and stupid at the same time.
The one thing that I have noticed from most 'fanboys mentality' is that they try to look for hidden meanings that just aren't there. They also tend to read more into these stories. These are simple stories with fairly simple plots. Looking for deeper meanings is, at least for me, a waste of time. Yes, I do speculate about how things will play out from movie to movie. However, I just don't get where some of these outrageous theories come from. I’m guessing from the EU books. Since I don’t read each and every one of those, all I have to base my thoughts, opinions and speculations on are the movies. Anything outside of the movies or the books based on the movie screenplays bears no meaning for me. I have only ever read the original Han Solo trilogy, Splinter of the Mind’s Eye and the Thrawn trilogy. I understand that Lucas has taken characters, places and ideas from the EU books and used them in the prequels. However, looking for clues in the EU books just seems rather pointless to me.
