One 'mo thing about Clones.

Check out this Web site I found (from Slate). It's pretty funny. It's kind of like Kevin Smith's great riff about the Rebel Alliance, the Empire, and the people who worked on the Death Star. Basically, the point is that the Emipre was actually kind of benevolent and not so bad and that the Rebel Alliance was basically just a bunch of punk-ass terrorists:

Everything you think you know about Star Wars is wrong.


The article refers to something that makes total sense now, about Grand Moff Tarkin's line in Star Wars that the Emperor was dissolved the Senate, and that "the last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away." Which is kind of cool cause it shows how whatever comes and what's being played out in Clones is even more tied into the original one.
