One More Star Wars Post
Watch my chances of getting a date plummet as I expound more on a 1 minute 47 second Star Wars trailer. Is someone who rocks so hard really so geeky? The answer, unfortunately, is yes.
There is a scene, that lasts almost as long as the scene with all the wookies in it, that shows a snub nose fighter that looks similar to the Xwing. It's got one extra set of wings so it looks more like an asterisks wing *.
A little bit of history now, the X wing was developed by Incom engineers who defected to the rebellion in the early days of the empire. It was still pretty new by the Battle of Yavin. The precursor is the Z-95 Headhunter which has a single wing. Leia was sixteen in A New Hope and either not yet born or just born in Revenge of the Sith. Therefore A New Hope takes place at least sixteen years after Revenge of the Sith.
Now for the point. They would not have had Xwings, or even modified *wings durign the time of Revenge of the Sith. They may have had Z-95s if they had anything. Lucas totally sacrificed historical accuracy. He thinks just because he came up with the whole idea and it's fiction that he can just change around the facts about starcraft production. Son of a Bitch.
I'm deleting the clip from my computer tonight, probably. Then I will not talk about Star Wars anymore.

Lucas is slipping and falling in his own poopie. The first three were great. Now we just have to wait for Lucas to pass on, and the other films can be trashed and re-made.
