Rather brief essay, and it does little to convince me. It's all speculation and provides very little canonical detail to back up any of his claims. And I think it's complete bullshit that the Death Star plans were in R2 before Leia met up with him at the beginning of the movie.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

"As we now know, the rebel Alliance was founded by Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Bail Organa. What can readily be deduced is that their first recruit, who soon became their top field agent, was R2-D2. "

WTF? It was?

And when the hell did Yoda and Obi-Wan have any involvement in creating the Rebel Alliance?

EDIT: "He arranged to be captured by a group of Jawas"? What in the hell? Who wrote this?!
