One day I hope this whole thread and all the details and sources can be used to make a good article on mainstream site. At this stage the number of odd claims and contradictions are vast.
Most fans just aren’t very interested in the history of Star Wars, real or fabricated. If they are, they’re probably content with Empire of Dreams or I guess Wookieepedia. I feel like if there was greater interest, his revisionism would be more well-known as well, or at least more people would notice the discrepancies.
At the very least, a decent number of people have seen Vice’s documentary, which does at least cover the real history, if not call out the revisionist claims. Though it’s still a comparatively small percentage of the fanbase, unfortunately.
It would be fascinating to see it all laid out in an article, or even a YouTube video or podcast? Although I reckon it would get “brigaded” pretty quickly by the George/Prequel fanboys. The slightest whiff of criticism against George often triggers the zealots into action, and any established platform writer or YouTube creator probably knows that, so is likely put off by the prospect of that happening. But it would be great to be proven wrong on this, and actually see it done.
Or maybe even something like an updated “The People vs George Lucas”, or a straight-up doc on the preservation side of the OT? That kind of thing?
