It’s stupid that they decided the snowspeeder’s designation was T-47. They weren’t evacuating those, they were part of the defense. And Luke calls them “heavy equipment” which sounds much more like a generator or some kind of lifter or loader or something.

Yeah, I always hated this one and that they made the BT-16 the stupid B’omarr monk droids. Those troopers would be making idle chatter about a new type of speeder or a blaster not a weird spider droid.

Combating the 'Grand Plan' Myth

The myth is pretty easy to dispel when the Maker himself has admitted to it. Here’s an excerpt from a letter GL wrote to the showrunners on LOST:

Congratulations on pulling off an amazing show. Don’t tell anyone … but when ‘Star Wars’ first came out, I didn’t know where it was going either. The trick is to pretend you’ve planned the whole thing out in advance. Throw in some father issues and references to other stories — let’s call them homages — and you’ve got a series.
