Have you read The Secret History of Star Wars? Obviously it’s nowhere near this funny, but it thought it was pretty well sourced. Lots of evidence showing how much they re-wrote and then ret-conned so much of even the original trilogy. Of course it only got more problematic from there. I still love most of the movies, but it’s pretty hilarious when people pretend it was planned out from the beginning like Breaking Bad or something.
The Jedis should replace the FBI, they're slightly better at their job.
Also, I'm going to assume an Eopie is like a Furby except Star Wars-ier. (Yeah I've watched Episode IV like three times ever. Not a big SW fan, unlike you NEEEERRDDDS.)
Ah, geez. I’ll never be able to watch “A New Hope”, the first, and fourth, Star Wars movie the same way ever again thanks to your cogent analysis debunking the underpinning of the entire franchise.
(Although I wonder if that movie would be better if they used CGI to replace the creepy animatronic Howard with the one from the post-credits scene in Guardians of the Galaxy.)
To be fair, everyone was told that Padme died still pregnant. They assumed Anakin died as well. No one had any reason to look for the children.
In the Rifftrax for A New Hope, when Luke starts asking questions about Obi-Wan and his Dad, Owen tells him to shut up and "eat your fried Gungan."

I strive for accuracy, so I had to google the creature Obi-Wan rides at the end of Revenge of the Sith.

Oh yeah, I need to eventually do a Substack on how the beginning of Return of the Jedi makes no sense. I had a long Twitter thread once on that.
Thanks once again for a good laugh, sir! Who would have thought there'd be logical flaws in Star Wars? 😆
Even George Lucas made a mistake once.
Yeah, "Howard The Duck."
