"Dude", I was referencing how it didn't fit in either - the 1977 time frame of the original movie - or - the story that was written in the 70s. His ham-fisted attempt at creating story where there was none didn't work on any level. Not only did it not fit what we'd seen and been told, it had been done so haphazardly, that it just couldn't be made believable. Not only are none of the characters related - an alteration, backed by documented lies, doesn't work. It's crap writing. My whole point was that because the original story was comprised of non-related characters, that all the revisionist history there is, created or believed by whomever, doesn't make it true, nor does it make it believable.

Luke Darth, and Leia aren't related. No amount of revisionist history, lying, covering up or ignoring of 1977 interviews, DVD extra features, etc, etc, are ever going to change that for me.

When you're my age and someone tries to tell you how things were when you were a kid, and you know what you saw and read that proves otherwise, you aren't going to suddenly forget the truth and see someone else's memories and visions.
