This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Lucas is on record saying the OT was about the Vietnam war (in an interview he did with James Cameron I think)
I thought that was very specifically referring to the ground battle on Endor in RotJ, not the whole trilogy.
In other sources he says it's a nod to WW2 (the trench run inspired by the Dam Busters, etc.) with imperial visual elements directly lifted from WW2 German designs
You might be right yeh, I’ve only seen a clip of it
I'd say you guys are missing the point or the big picture, but I knew what I was getting into. Nerd away, it's cool.
