1) Why were a handful of rebel fighters able to penetrate the defenses of a battle station that had the capability of destroying an entire planet and the defenses to ward off several fleets of battle ships?

2) Why did Grand Moff Tarkin refuse to deploy the station’s large fleet of TIE Fighters until it was too late? Was he acting on orders from somebody to not shoot down the rebel attack force? If so, who, and why?

3) Why was the rebel pilot who supposedly destroyed the Death Star reported to be on the Death Star days, maybe hours, prior to its destruction? Why was he allowed to escape, and why were several individuals dressed in Stormtrooper uniforms seen helping him?

4) Why has there not been an investigation into allegations that Darth Vader, the second-ranking member of the Imperial Government, is in fact the father of the pilot who allegedly destroyed the Death Star?

5) Why did Lord Vader decide to break all protocols and personally pilot a lightly armored TIE Fighter? Conveniently, this placed Lord Vader outside of the Death Star when it was destroyed, where he was also conveniently able to escape from a large-sized rebel fleet that had just routed the Imperial forces. Why would Lord Vader, one of the highest ranking members of the Imperial Government, suddenly decide to fly away from the Death Star in the middle of a battle? Did he know something that the rest of the Imperial Navy didn’t?

6) How could any pilot shoot a missile into a 2 meter-wide exhaust port, let alone a pilot with no formal training, whose only claim to fame was his ability to “bullseye womprats” on Tatooine? This shot, according to one pilot, would be “impossible, even for a computer.” Yet, according to additional evidence, the pilot who allegedly fired the missile turned off his targeting computer when he was supposedly firing the shot that destroyed the Death Star. Why have these discrepancies never been investigated, let alone explained?

7) Why has their been no investigation into evidence that the droids who provided the rebels with the Death Star plans were once owned by none other than Lord Vader himself, and were found, conveniently, by the pilot who destroyed the Death Star, and who is also believed to be Lord Vader’s son? Evidence also shows that the droids were brought to one Ben Kenobi, who, records indicate, was Darth Vader’s teacher many years earlier! Are all these personal connections between the conspirators and a key figure in the Imperial government supposed to be coincidences?

How could a single missile destroy a battle station the size of a moon? No records, anywhere, show that any battle station or capital ship has ever been destroyed by a single missile. Furthermore, analysis of the tape of the last moments of the Death Star show numerous small explosions along its surface, prior to it exploding completely! Why does all evidence indicate that strategically placed explosives, not a single missile, is what destroyed the Death Star?

Comments

It has also been reported that the LEADER of the so called “Rebellion” is none other than Darth Vader’s DAUGHTER, the SISTER of the hero who supposedly destroyed the infamous Death Star?? Absurd.

He used two proton torpedoes. Two.

How did the missile make a right angle turn after entering the exhaust port?

Do YOU believe the MAGIC MISSILE THEORY?

Force could be a contributing factor in the sequence of coincidences you describe here. After all, Lord Vadar was created by the midiclorians (sp?) that make up the force; his daughter was the Rebels’ Princess Leader and his son the Rebel hot shot. Perhaps the Midiclorians wanted to right the universe with the kids of the bad guy they created? BUT, I have one more question to add: How could a missile shot in the vacuum of space–that would tend to keep going in the same direction as it was released, according to the laws of physics–be *sucked* into an *exhaust* pipe? Doesn’t exhaust mean to exhale or blow out? Wouldn’t the missiles have been blown awry of their target rather than sucked in? If it had been an intake pipe, then the “bending” path of the missiles could be plausible.

These are important questions, and you are a brave patriot for standing up to ask them. May the Force be With You.

There is a time for politics, and well there is a time for politics.
Darth Vader is a good man, I have looked into his soul.
He would never turn on the empire.

I believe there was a second X-wing pilot. On the starry knoll, out of the frame…

Aren’t Vader and that Skywalker RELATED!!!

9) Why is it that every moomrath who worked on the Death Star apparently called in sick that day? (I don’t know this for a fact, or have any evidence for it, but my cousin’s brother heard it on the radio or something)

10) How could a massive object made with illyrium pillars the size of redwood trees be torn apart wben each pillar is designed to withstand temperatures of eight jillion degrees?

11) Why were members of the Sith family allowed to fly out of the sector the next day, when all space travel had supposedly been cancelled?

12) Why did the BBC (Benellian Broadcasting Consortium) report the Death Star had been destroyed a full 17.6 millinerms BEFORE it blew up?

The list just goes on and on. A rational being can only come to one conclusion - that the largest conspiracy known to civilization has been perpetrated.

Of course, that also involves beleiving that tens of thousands of people, ranging from soldiers and government officials to victims’ family and witnesses, have managed to stay silent and that the revelation of this incredible, multi-billion dollar project by a few nerds has failed to get anyone involved to come forward … but that’s just proof of how big and effective this conspiracy is!

BTW, if you try to discredit any of this, it will just prove that YOU are part of the conspiracy, too.

Now, about that Kennedy shooting …

There is a very thoughtfully written commentary on how R2-D2 is really the leader of the rebela lliance and in fact kept the rebellion going by shuttling plans back and forth - what’s the one common thread between everything and everyone? R2-D2 (C3PO) was picked up along the way from some kid). We know he can control the entire Death Star by sticking his arm into sockets all along the Death Star

Even more disturbing is the subtle turning of the Empire into a theocracy by the religious Jedi and Dark Siths. Separation of Church and Galaxy should be maintained, yet all we read about these days is, “Use The Force this and use The Force that.”

Our Supreme Chancellor-cum-Emperor founded this great empire on justice and balance. Justice and balance comes from the rule of law. Not from any commandments and precepts derived from the insidious Jedi religion. To suggest so is an insult and laughable.

We all know there is no Higher Power, and that any mention of said power must be eradicated from the public square.

Oh, and, FIGHT GALACTIC WARMING! Fly in smaller hybrid spaceships.

I admit I initially bought into the offical storyline. The questions you raise are serious and damning. I am convinced you may have uncovered a insidious hidden agenda which likely goes all the way to the top. (to He who fore see’s it all )

I thought it was humorous at first but as i dug deeper into the questions and theories i began to realize that our loyalty to the rebellion and our hate for the galactic empire has been jeopardised. i don’t know who to trust anymore

it was all an excuse to invade Hoth and steal their oil; a planet which didn’t even HAVE anything to do with the attacks! As a result the Empire is losing Yavin IV to a resurgent rebellion

If you add up the letter values of “Darth Vader”, you come up with 106. That means 10/6. It isn’t too much of a stretch to go from 10/6 to 9/11.

These things are connected, I am sure.

Finally, someone is willing to utter the TRUTH! Quick, call Steven E. Jones, Alex Jones and Batman!

The author of the powerful new book Uncomfortable Questions: An Analysis of the Death Star Attack asks a number of questions that I’m sure many an American has asked over a beer or a bong. We’ve all heard the “official conspiracy theory” of the Death Star attack. We all know about Luke Skywalker and his ragtag bunch of rebels, how they mounted a foolhardy attack on the most powerful, well-defended battle station ever built. And we’ve all seen the video over, and over, and over, of the one-in-a-million shot that resulted in a massive chain reaction that not just damaged, but completely obliterated that massive technological wonder.

Prior to the destruction of the Death Star a smuggler named Captain Solo was reportedly given a large sum of money. At a crucial point in the battle, Captain Solo had an unobstructed shot on his choice of the fighters pursuing Skywalker, yet Solo did not take advantage of this opportunity to kill Darth Vader. Although Vader was in the process of firing upon Skywalker’s X-wing, Solo attacked the defensive fighter instead. In the aftermath, Vader escaped, while Solo still had crates of money in his cargo hold. Captain Solo eventually made his way to the Bespin system, where he was seen dining with none other than Vader, who was reportedly obsessed with obtaining Captain Solo’s ship (and the money contained therein). Solo’s ship was then seen flying into the super-structure of the second Death Star, destroying it just after Vader was able to get out (he was seen leaving a shuttle piloted by none other than Luke Skywalker). Yet through this whole sequence of events, the money was never seen removed from Solo’s ship. Was it used to bribe Darth Vader, who (allegedly) assassinated Palpatine? Did anyone other than Vader and Skywalker actually see Emperor Palpatine die? Sadly, we may never know the truth.

All this conspiracy theory stuff is of no consequence; I have it on good authority that the Galactic Democrats have a “Tough & Smart Plan” to defeat the Rebellion!

Something involving the “redeployment” of Imperial stormtroopers out of the entire Galaxy… not quite sure how that would work, actually…

I think that you will find that the important cockpit recordings from Skywalkers Xwing have been with held, because it could give the empire insight into cureent rebel capabilities. What i want to know is who is going to compensate the reletives of the 150,000 crew who were on tthe Death Star at the time.
These were ordinary people just doing their jobs, they were not politico’s. I’ll bet some rebels even knew some of the crew. This is just another example of heartless exploitation by extremeists.
They call for a republic yes, but we all know what happens when the ‘force’ becomes part of policy.
Ask the Ewoks…if you dare

…follow the money…

There are many survivors from the old empire. And many rumours. One concerns the ultimate fate of the rebuilt Death Star. It says that the moon was evacuated on an emergency basis because of a virulent plague (intentionally brought aboard). It was placed permanently off-limits rather than destroyed in the hope that once the plague had run its course and been properly analyzed, the station could be thoroughly sterilized and recoverd into operational use.

However, during a turbulent time in galactic affairs its’ watch was neglected, its’ location lost or forgotten - even in the memory cores of the failing but still extensive galactic library. Several legends say it became encrusted with interstellar dust and was captured in its wanderings by a gas giant in a now remote part of the galaxy. And that there it remains.

More questions

1.) How many Ewoks were killed when pieces of the second Death Star including highly radioactive debris fell from orbit onto the surface of the moon of Endor?

2.) The clones of Jango Fett which make up the entirety of the Grand Army of the Republic / Imperial Stormtroopers seem to be rather non-proficient with aimed weaponry at ranges greater than point blank. The clone / “son” in his adult appearances as Boba Fett also seems similarly unskilled in the use of laser firearms. If Jango Fett was specifically selected for cloning because of his martial skills, did the cloning process work as anticipated, or did Jango Fett lie on his application?

Money. Plain and simple, money. The original Death Star generated untold revenue for any number of civil and defense contractors but the major drawback is that you only need one. By “allowing” it to be destroyed, Vader and his cronies had Carte Blanche to design and construct a newer, larger and more technologically advanced Death Star (and distribute HEFTY government contracts for the same…) Clearly Vader’s connections (former CEO and major shareholder) to the number one contractor in the known universe, Halliburton, ought to be scrutinized.

Mr. Beamish:

1) Much of the debris would have burned to dust upon re-entry. Galactic powercores are primarily (exclusively?) fission-based, so the radioactive fallout would be less than might otherwise be anticipated. Larger pieces would have had severe impact, true, but much would have been pulled to the planet Endor by its greater gravitational pull, and the so-nice-and-friendly rebellion would probably have blown some of the bigger pieces into smaller pieces if they looked like they were going to cause Ewok allies any trouble… hopefully.

2) Jango used blasters, not lasers. Blasters use sub-light velocity charged particles more closely related to a lightning bolt than a laser beam. Lasers are nice and all, but blasters are more practical due to less need of power supplies and whatnot.

Addendum: I am, in fact, NOT a virgin. I swear this is true. Pinkie-swear. Honest.

There is strong evidence that the next in line for the throne of Alderon and its representative in the Imperial Senate, Princess Leah, was in fact, a member of the Rebel Alliance. Lord Vader is known to have “captured” and spoken directly with the Princess just before Alderon’s destruction, and now evidence is mounting that the Princess was, in fact, Lord Vader’s daughter from a previous marriage, and was only an adopted member of the Alderon Royal Family. Worse yet, this “capture” occurred while in orbit of Tattooine, where Vader is said to have been raised as a child and where his adopted brother still lives. Moreover, a search of Tatooine Social Security records found that one Luke Sywalker was living with Vader’s family on the surface. What is important about this is that Imperial records show that Skywalker was, in fact, Vader’s original name when he was a member of the Jedi Order, before the order was disbanded because of its known treachery against the legitimate government of the Republic/Empire.

So are we to believe that Vader, who is known to be a former member of traitorous organization, met with his daughter, while in orbit over his former home, and he did not also meet with his brother and likely son while there?????

And what of the destruction of Alderon, which had no known connection to the Rebel Alliance. Did the Princess, make a deal to ensure the destruction of her political competitors on Alderon. Are we to believe she has no political aspirations of her own following the Rebel Alliance’s successful assassination of the Emperor–now that she has the support of the newly re-formed Jedi Order, lead by none other than young Skywalker himself?!?!?!

Given these highly implausible coincidences, we must ask whether the new government is truly the product of a populist uprising aimed at restoring the old republic, or is Leah our modern Version of Octavian Augustus Caesar. While telling us all her actions were for the good of the republic is her rise to power more a preplanned coup of the Skywalker family to replace one benevolent Tyrant (was Palpatine really that bad) with the Queen of their choosing.

I think, based on the evidence, that the “destruction” of the Death Star (there is evidence to suggest that it was never really destroyed: See Return of the Jedi) was merely a case of wag the tonton. That’s right. The real inconvenient truth is that this operation was designed to shift attention from the obvious: Hoth warming. Yes, the ice planet was melting and something drastic had to be done to mis-direct those who sought to document the shrinking ice cave habitat of the ice monsters of Hoth. I’m just glad you’ve given us all the courage to speak out about this. Save the ice monsters and their melting ice planet of Hoth!

And, no one is asking why Obi Wan was never captured during his “hideout” in Tatooine. Surely Vader knew where he was all the time, but instead of capturing him allowed him to facilitate the end of the Death Star by leading Luke to it. Then, all too easily, Obi Wan allowed Vader to assist him in joining the 72 virgins waiting for him, while Vader conned Tarkin into letting all of them go. Vader was behind it all from the beginning.

Uncomfortable Questions: Was the Death Star Attack an Inside Job? Why has their been no investigation into evidence that the droids who provided the rebels with the Death Star plans were once owned by none other than Lord Vader himself, and were found, conveniently, by the pilot who destroyed the Death Star, and who is also believed to be Lord Vader’s son? Evidence also shows that the droids were brought to one Ben Kenobi, who, records indicate, was Darth Vader’s teacher many years earlier! Are all these personal connections between the conspirators and a key figure in the Imperial government supposed to be coincidences?

It was an inside job but you have missed the point entirely. I am quite surprised you don’t see it. The reason the Death Star was destroyed is simple. It was a Government job built by the lowest bidder. An O ring was faulty and covered up because it would have set the project back and nobody and I mean nobody wanted to tell Darth or the Emperor.
Therefore the first time it came under fire the design flaw failed and the damn thing blew up.

I have been suspcious of a cover-up on the Death Star Attack for some years now. I think we can all remember how shocked and terrified we were in 1977 when we first witnessed the horrific destruction of the Crown Jewel of the Imperial Fleet. Yet, a few years back, when the new “Official” story of the tragedy was released, the footage of the Death Star’s destruction had been CLEARLY ALTERED, possibly with the use of COMPUTERS! Rumors have since circulated of the involvement of a California Bay Area special effects firm in the cover-up. That same corporation has also been awarded a contract to set up operations on the site of San Francisco’s Presidio Military Base! Could Defense Department sources be involved? THE TRUTH MUST BE TOLD! UNMASK THE CONSPIRACY!!

let us not forget how the security tapes showing how the con-man and drug smuggler Han Solo callously murdered a law enforcement official, were altered to make it seem as if he was defending himself. Why? Because this unsalubrious character is the lover of the leader of the “Rebellion” and so-called “New Republic”, Leia Organa AKA Leia Skywalker. Can we really trust this womans judgement? No! Fight for the legacy of our beloved Emperor!

Latest News… Darth has deep vein thrombosis after saying goodbye to his favourite sexual toy who has been found guilty of 4 of the 5 charges against him for leaking the plans for Death Star destruction…. Can you feel my force…. was not one of the comments heard in the prison cell last night.

Apparently Lord Vader’s third uncle twice removed was Jewish. You know what this means… Galagtic Zionists strike again.

Anyone toting the Imperial line is an Imperial Guard or sith!

Is this book banned yet?

I’m puzzled in Swiftian proportions, but here’s one true thing. Leia, that slut, did Archduke Ferdinand, Roger Clinton and Roger Ailes, but wouldn’t touch Vader because he never did smell right. Just never did. But she was a slut just the same.

I have many friends in high places in the Imperial Army, the Rebel Forces, the media, and hollywood who all say they KNOW this was an inside job. Of course I can’t tell you who they are, because they will deny it and claim I’m a lunatic… Just Google “darth vader might have kinda sorta been involved in death star desctruction because he was fighting on the side of the imperialists” and you’ll find hundreds of mainstream articles about it.

Whatever – you are all a bunch of “Hokey religion” Han solos.

If you commit to the true nature of the force than one can postulate that that Luke did in fact use the force to steer a lone photon torpedo into the exhaust port that is less then 2 meters wide. Luke is the son of the Chosen one after all.

That said, if put your faith into Luke’s deep connection to the force, then you can also postulate that Lord Vader had foreseen the events of the Death Star explosion and that it was a part of the long term, plot to eventually overthrow the emperor and rule the galaxy with his son. We know this is true as he presents this offer to Luke in Empire. Why did the overseeing Emperor miss this you ask? Simply because he did not have the paternal connection to Luke like Vader did.

True - perhaps the Emperor did intentionally leak the information of the weak point of the Death Star. In doing that he could hide billions of Imperial Credits to help pay for the insurmountable costs he had incurred in over spending on the Imperial fleet. Regardless it is all about Midiclorians baby!

All of you nuts who are trying to slander this great empire, its history and its leader are rebels, terrorists and ENEMIES OF THE GALAXY!

I applaude the attempts of the individuals who have done their best to explain the complexities of intergalactic conflic to the ignorant masses.

Your probably all commies too!

This entire discussion is merely an attempt to distract us all from the fact that the mean galactic temperature is rising 0.004 degrees, every millinerm.

There is only one possible answer.

The entire thing was faked, and the Death Star still exists.

That means someone has captured it, faked all the videos, hypnotized all the eye witnesses into corroborating their story, and are just waiting for the right moment to strike against the Empire.

The people who were presumably destroyed in the Death Star are in actuality now hypnotized zombies handling all the grunt work of keeping the death star operational.

What is wrong with the author of this? Does he not realize that by writing this, he is helping the Rebel Alliance? Support our {Storm}troop{er}s!!!!

And what about those missing tapes that Vader was “looking” for that somehow ended up in the hands of his daughter that he supposedly didn’t know he had?

New Evidence that Lord Vader was behind Death Star attacks:

Recently recovered security camera tapes from the Bespin Gas mining facility shows Vader defeating his alleged son in a lightsaber duel, however at the crux of the duel does not finish Skywalker off, but instead proposes an alliance with him to overthrow our late Emperor Palpatine.

The same security tape shows that Vader clearly knew Skywalker was his son, and addresses him as such. Skywalker seems emotionally distressed at the news and falls down a large gas vent to make his escape. The tape shows Skywalker clearly at Lord Vader’s mercy, and appears that Vader allows Skywalker to escape.

Further video footage from the anttenna array underneath cloud city shows Skywalker is rescued by the Mellinum Falcon, flown by none other than leader of the Rebel alliance and sister Leia Organa. A secret recording made my the Falcon’s main computer has been unearthed by our imperial spies showing former Cloud City chief administrator Lando Calrissian aboard the falcon, along with droids C3P-0 and astromech droid R2D2, which if you remeber were once owned by Lord Vader himself. Also on board was a Wookie by the name of Chewbacca, who had known affiliations with the late Master Yoda of the now defunct Jedi order.

While this evidence is damming enough, further reports from Lord Vader’s flagship show that in the ensuing persuit the Mellinium Falcon escapes via making the leap to light speed, despite records from the Bespin engineering department showing that the hyperdrive was clearly deactivated.

A related story of note:

Jedi master Luke Skywalker implicated in multiple murders:

- The charred corspe of Tatooine gangster Jabba the hutt was found strangled with his own slave-girl leash in the buring remains of his sail barge. Eyewitness sightings place Skywalker, Organa, Calrissian, the driods, and known criminal scoundrel Han Solo at the scene. There is also evidence that Boba Fett, the “Best bounty hunter in the Galaxy” was also devoured by a nearby sarlac, but managed to escape shortly thereafter.

- Master Yoda quickly “became one with the Force” after shortly meeting with Skywalker.

- Lord Vader himself quickly met his end shortly after the Battle of Endor. Did he really asphxiate as Master Skywalker contends?

Master Skywalker has a lot of questions to answer. His special dispensation as head of the New Jedi Order gives him diplomatic immunity from prosecution, but the public has a right to know if the head of the New Order is in fact a Multiple Murderer.
