Reconsidering Star Wars IV in the light of I-III If we accept all the Star Wars films as the same canon, then a lot that happens in the original films has to be reinterpreted in the light of the prequels. As we now know, the rebel Alliance was founded by Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Bail Organa. What can readily be deduced is that their first recruit, who soon became their top field agent, was R2-D2.
Consider: at the end of RotS, Bail Organan orders 3PO’s memory wiped but not R2′s. He wouldn’t make the distinction casually. For the next 20 years, as far as 3PO knows, he is the property of Captain Antilles, doing protocol duties on a diplomatic transport. Yoda is out of the picture by this stage, using the Force-infused swamps of Dagobah to hide himself from Vader and the Emperor. As Star Wars opens, R2 is rushing the Death Star plans to the Rebellion. The awesome Harry Potter ending J.K. Rowling didn't even know she had. I am someone who began reading this series during the third grade. I grew up around the series. I love the Harry Potter series with my whole heart and I truly believe that the novels are wonderful works of literature for children and adults to enjoy. I don't believe that the purposed ending is too dark or complicated for children.
I think that, at a basic level, children would understand the story and appreciate it. That's why Rowling wrote the novels. I believe that she HOPED those children would love the books enough to re-read them as I have over the years. What is my point? I think that when we are children, we read as children. HOWEVER, I do feel that as the audience got older, we began to understand more about the novels. Basically, I feel that it is important to have this kind of growing up and reading a series process. As for the idea that children should grow up and leave behind the fascinations of youth... To an extent, I agree. It isn't a question of adults needing to grow up. Every Human in Star Wars is Really a Humanoid Bee. There are no humans in Star Wars.
This should be obvious from the title card. We’re a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Human beings evolved on this planet, Sol 3, over the last sixty million years or so depending on how you count. If we don’t want to go all “Chariots of the Gods?” We have to throw out the notion that the people represented by human actors in Star Wars movies are in fact human. They’re something else. Why represent them as human? While convenient, this approach does present one problem: watching the Original Trilogy, we assume that the ‘humans’ of the GFFA (Galaxy Far Far Away) are biologically and sociologically identical to Sol 3 humans.
Gender is the most important clue. Family is a second important clue—or, rather, the absence of family. So we’re looking for an organism with large brood sizes, young ages of maturity, short gestation periods, and relatively few fertile females who naturally assume positions of social and organizational authority.
