No one has mentioned this -- but I am pretty sure I saw Wedge Antilles in the trailer.

That is -- the true hero of the rebellion is still alive!

  1. Dude, Greedo was the hero of the Rebellion.  Without him, Hans would not have been desperate enough to stick with Luke and Obe-Wan when things got hairy, which means Luke would have never made it to the Death Star, saved his sister, and watched some random creepy guy who lived alone die, thus pushing him to become a Jedi.  Greedo died to make A New Hope happen.

  3. Which he could have never done if Greedo wasn't shot first.  Was Wedge ever shot just for doing his job?

  4. Without Luke there to distract Red Squad, Wedge could have launched his weapons all the earlier.

    And yes, Wedge got shot at a lot. And took some shots.

  5. So there no evidence that Greedo wasn't some kind of super clairvoyant super jedi who knew which seemingly minor happenstances would help trigger the optimal future for the fall of the empire.  Notice how Jaba the Hut never mentioned that Hans killed one of his bounty hunters, because he didn't.  Greedo obviously never worked for Jabba, and instead was lying to Hans for years to set up for the time that he would need to be shot for the good of the galaxy.  Any the two guys who were picking a fight with Obe-Wan for no good reason, obviously they were bribed by Greedo so that Luke would be impressed by some random Hermit he just met four hours prior.  Oh, and why was Uncle Owen so against Luke joining the rebellion as a fighter pilot?  Well who's to say Greedo wasn't invading Owen's dreams traumatizing him with horrible visions of the upcoming war just so that Luke would be held back until the proper time.  And we never did see the storm troopers destroy the moisture farm, and considering Obe-Wan said that the blaster marks were too precise for Sandpeople, well storm troopers aren't percise either, but mercenaries trained by a super jedi would probably know where to aim before they even got there.  So yeah, like 98% of a New Hope was a vast conspiracy planned out by a character who was introduced just to be shot in the first hour.

  7. "But first, I'll embroil your ship in predestined events."
    "Over your dead body!"
    "Sadly, that's the idea."
    "Wait, what?"

  8. Biggs Darlighter was a sith sympathizer, implanted into the alliance by imperial spies.

  9. He was also Jason Biggs in disguise, so worse than the sith.
