Fair well to Darth Flannel


To explain lapses in continuity and re-writing of canon some Star Wars fans look at things from the point of view that we are in the future, as said in the opening screen, "A long time ago...". We are basically archaeologists digging through the history of a civilization from a very distant galaxy. And as archaeology text books from today would contradict and add to text books from even 50 years ago, new movies, books, comics, games, and *sigh*, yes even tv shows, can be added and worked and hammered into place to make everything fit. Remember when Boba Fett was Jaster Mareel, exiled journeyman protector from Concord Dawn? Our archaeologists just hadn't dug far enough! Silly us! Now with the information we unearthed 10 years ago we know that Boba is his own person, his dad came from Concord Dawn, and Jaster Mareel is basically his adopted grandpa. What a wonder modern discoveries are, aren't they? Well, some people also have the theory (fictional theory, obviously) that George Lucas is actually an alien from that galaxy far, far away, and he's the major contributor to the historical records of his galaxy.

Well, I have come to the conclusion that he kept a clone of himself on backup just in case he got homesick. I do believe he has become homesick and went back to his home planet sometime last year, or the one previously, and left his clone here to run amok.

.....either that or he's dying of a terminal illness and hasn't told anyone yet and wants to tie everything up before he goes. I imagine in the next month or so we'll hear a news article about his kids in some way or other.
