Aye, like Broom Kid’s post above - that is pretty much spot on for me, mate.
And like that, it doesn’t address what the problem is with it or what makes it poor.
Yeah, 100%. Along with the infamous lie and woeful attempt at re-writing history / time-travel from Lucas himself - an inane and bizarre attempt to give his then-new midichlorians idea some credibility (for want of a better word)… it certainly didn’t come from when Lucas attempted to claimed it to be - so ‘nowhere’ fits quite aptly.
How is it problematic, based on EU material doing something else? All of Star Wars is made up, just like the eu stuff about them having families was made up. Why is this a problem with these things or when they were developed?
The question of “when” is paramount when we’re dealing with real film history versus a bunch of phoney “my original vision” claims that keep changing.
Indeed - and especially so for an official book titled: ‘The Making of Star Wars - The Definitive Story Behind The Original Film’.
That Rinzler himself felt he needed to try and clarify the issue - due to fans noticing and highlighting George’s failed attempt at re-writing history - (on the official website) is lost on some of those… who wish to downplay or brush aside such topics - and yet are seemingly focused on little else.
Though thankfully not on here…
