Logic flaws in the Star Wars Trilogy (long list)

[MrMan]

When I was a kid, I always assumed that Luke's aunt and uncle were killed because the stormtroopers tortured them to death because they wouldn't tell them where Luke and the droids were. And then after they killed them, they covered it up by blowing up their house with a bomb and making it look like an accident. Remember when they killed the Jawas, Ben Kenobi said that they tried to make it look like the Sand people did it as a cover up.

Yeah the stormtroopers thing is symbolic. Lucas was making a political statement about clones and people with hive minds, which is what totalitarian governments create.

Maybe there are Star Wars forums and fan sites out there that answer these questions. I used to use IMDB to ask these question but they took down their forums for some reason.

The stormtrooper Gary accidentally burned down Luke's uncle and aunt's house, according to this film.

I had a conversation once with George Lucas -- in 1974 before Star Wars came out. I thought all kinds of things were going on allegorically in his movie American Graffiti and I asked him if he intended the allegories. He didn't.
