So what is the point of our village? By some of the suggestions, it seems we have modern technology, so we are not pretending it is the 19th century or anything.

Maybe in our village is made so we can all raise our families in a mid-nineties world where Star Wars is still cool and exciting and no special editions or prequels exist. Just three movies on VHS, a number of novels, stacks of comic books, and loads of silly merchandise that somehow actually still seemed cool back then.

If we made a movie about our island, it would feel like a period piece taking place in 1995 or so. Then by the end we discover they are really living in the 10's, and that they gave up modern life so that their offspring could grow up SW fans in a world where they don't have to experience the frustrations of all the rifts in fandom and the lack of originals on DVD and/or BD.

 I think this is a fantastic idea!  Imagine...the Backstreet Boys on our radios all the time...white boys sagging their jeans...dial-up Internet hitting the market...okay, maybe it wouldn't all be cool, but the idea of pressing rewind on my VHS player so I could rewatch one of those letterbox versions of the OT that came out around then...fun nostalgia.
