That's why revisionist history and years-later-changes-on-the-fly to the main story work on you.

No matter how hard you try, how thorough your research, how open-minded your discussions, no matter how broad your imagination - one thing you can never be, or truly understand, is someone who was there in 1977. You just weren't.

That's also why you misunderstood the point of my statement about revisionist history not working. You automatically assumed I meant story-wise because that's the only point of reference you can have when speaking of 1977-era Star Wars.

For me, the changes don't work because they can't. I was there.

Now, if you guys will excuse me, I'm two days into my vacation and reading Splinter Of The Mind's Eye. And digging it, by the way.
