You know, something occurred to me today. I realized that one of the reasons that I like these boards is that there aren't any (or, at least, very few and short-lived) discussions about what SW certain concepts mean or represent in the films (The Force, what was Palpatine really thinking, etc.) I got really annoyed with people on TF.n bringing up half-brained or completely unsupported opinions about aspects of SW - the worst of which were ultimately argued as "all opinions are equal" or "It's a fantasy world, so anything is possible."

Having spent way too many years delving into various SW materials searching for evidence against various claims really took its toll on me. Maybe I'll find and post one of my own theories that I came up during a burst of inspiration. It was actually kind of fun to write.
