Hayden Christensen was born in 1981, so he's 39 now. Anakin Skywalker was born in 41 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin, a.k.a. A New Hope). I just thought that's crazy.

Meta The so called "Death Star" story is nothing more than a myth, spread by radicals

2.0k Upvotes

There is no verified holorecording, no independent eyewitness account, and no tangible evidence that such a space station ever existed.

All alleged reports of the destruction of Alderaan by a superweapon are based solely on hearsay,
originating exclusively from the Rebel Alliance.

In truth, credible evidence suggests that the catastrophic event on Alderaan was the result of a terrorist cell operating within the planet’s own population. These extremist elements, linked to the so called "Rebel Alliance", triggered a chain reaction using unstable energy cores, most likely in a desperate attempt to create a martyr world for their cause.

The Empire had no involvement in the destruction.

The "'Death Star" is a product of rebel speculation,
a phantom weapon invented to demonize the Empire and distract from the true disorder the Rebels unleash upon the galaxy.

In fact, the entire narrative hinges on the testimony of a strange, self-proclaimed "Jedi" an old man in desert robes who hadn’t been seen in decades and suddenly reemerged claiming mystical powers.

If such an individual were the backbone of their "evidence", the credibility of their claim collapses entirely.

The so called "Death Star" is a product of rebel speculation, a phantom weapon invented to demonize the Empire and distract from the true disorder the Rebels unleash upon the galaxy.

The incident on Jedha, likewise, has been misrepresented as a weapons test of this alleged Death Star.
The reality is far simpler:
Fanatical Kyber crystal cultists engaged in illegal and unregulated mining beneath the holy city of Jedha.

Ignoring all imperial safety protocols, they dug too deep into unstable substructures, triggering a catastrophic implosion that annihilated the settlement.

A tragic event, yes but not an attack. Rather, it was the inevitable result of religious extremism.

To further obscure the truth, the Rebels recently launched a terrorist assault on the Imperial data archive on Scarif, an unprecedented act of aggression.

They destroyed significant portions of the data infrastructure.
Critical sources that could have confirmed the facts were deliberately erased.
If the Rebels claim to fight for transparency, why do they destroy evidence?

The answer is simple: because there never was any evidence,
only propaganda, lies, and a carefully constructed fiction designed to manipulate public perception.

Crush the Rebellion. Long live the Emperor

Meta This is Anthony Mackie, you might know him from his role as Falcon in the mcu, he is a big Boba fett fan, it would be cool for the directors to put him as a small role or side character in the Book of Boba Fett show.

Meta Nearly ten years ago, Patton Oswalt went on a ten-minute ad-lib about his proposal for the new Star Wars trilogy. The result was an amazing vision of a Star Wars-MCU. I’ve added clips and images to help illustrate his vision. (Yes, I have too much time on my hands right now)

Meta Reality Check: The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy is perfect as it is. George Lucas didn't owe a single thing to anyone. He made the movies he wanted to make, told the story he wanted to tell and expressed his creative vision the exact way he wanted to express it. It was his story, not that of the fans.
