LOLs even back in '83 a dude from MIT was looking for, well see for yourself.

Also LOLs at "Explanation for Imp. Armor"

Why is Imperial armor so ineffective? Ever hear of the M-16 rifle? The M1
tank? Perhaps the armor is made on a planet with powerful lobbyists... or
made from Wisconsin cheese.

There's even an '83 double post in that subject.

Strange thing is that one guy mentions in the early notices of different versions of Star Wars films:

In my first viewing of the original Star Wars movie, Biggs appeared in an
early scene. He was a friend of Luke's, and was trying to convince Luke
to go with him and join the rebellion. This scene has been omitted in
subsequent releases which I have seen. But Biggs still shows up as one of
the fighter pilots who go out to tackle the Death Star, while Luke shows
particular concern for him.

I have a SW4 story book which has a picture of Biggs talking to Luke
on Tatooine.

Also another one mentions a longer version of Star Wars. Plus, early Lucas hate and, more early Lucas hate.

Give into the Darkside! We have cookies! Originator!

Lols all around reading these postings.
