If we accept all the Star Wars films as the same canon, then a
lot that happens in the original films has to be reinterpreted in
the light of the prequels. 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.

Sith, or Revenge of the Hope Reconsidering Star Wars IV in the light
of I-III
An interesting reinterpretation of Star Wars IV–VI,
notwithstanding the fact that George Lucas was
making everything up as he went along, especially for episodes I–III
but he doesn't care—he's got our money and besides, geeks live for
explaining continuity errors in science fiction series (and amusingly
enough, nothing that went on in Episodes I–III matched what he wrote
about in “Bantha
Tracks”—I know this because my friend Hoade used to get this
newsletter as a kid).
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
