Via Jason Kottke [1], “A New Sith, or Revenge of the Hope Reconsidering Star
Wars IV in the light of I- III [2]”
An interesting reinterpretation of Star Wars IV–VI [3], notwithstanding the
fact that George Lucas [4] was making everything up as he went along,
especially for episodes I–III [5] 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 [6]”—I know this because my friend
Hoade used to get this newsletter as a kid).
