"Reconsidering Star Wars IV in the light of I-III"

Oh, man. This is good.

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.

I had it, like, I'm sure so many of us did at the end of RotS. Threepio was wiped, but R2! R2 knew. No wonder why he was such a smug little knowitall. So I thought about it, but Keith Martin has worked it all out. And not only R2's involvement with the rebellion all these years, but Chewbacca's as well. This one's a definite must-read for even the most half-hearted Star Wars fan.
