Well yes. It's the average person that'll think "hey, those ships kinda look like the ones the good guys flew in. but these guys are the empire".

Whereas the fanboys will try to justify it with whatever half baked EU explanation that's been thought up to compensate for Lucas' stupidity.

Oh definitely. The EU explained the Kessel mishap as han having to fly through black holes or worm (dont really know a difference) holes. Now that is what George Lucas says when being asked about 12 parsecs. Basically the kessel run wasnt about speed but navigation. They will have anybody make up some well thought bull shit to cover George Lucas' mistakes. Partly the reason I dont trust the EU too much.
