Revisionist History: How to Read Against the Intent

Post by Illuminatus Primus »

The Thawn-Palpatine Connection (a question and a theory)

Its amazing how far they allow one to spew stupidity and bullshit the blatent canon fact to further their agendas.

How not to argue Star Wars... :shock:

Normally I'd chastize you to split the link, but the boards have been to quiet latey and a TFN invasion in response to our mockery would provide some needed entertainment. If shooting fish in a barrel is entertaining that is.

That said, stupid gits

My question is: Why the fuck should we give a damn about something so fundamentally idiotic, and why is it worth any discussion time?

Well it is an interesting discussion. Particularly since there are those here who refuse to admit Dark Empire's place in the EU, and enjoy these kind of revisionist games.

Additionally, thanks the Thief and others, there's a wealth of references that allow one to read behind the lines so to speak as to the events that transpired during Dark Empire, Dark Empire II, Empire's End, and The Dark Empire Sourcebook.

It also establishes a clear continuity in the history of the Empire that I feel is often overlooked. I posted the link as much as for the true content within as anything else.
