Lies, the Jedi have been gone from the Galaxy for twenty years. This source is spouting disguised Rebel propaganda!

Don't scare me like that. First I thought Alec Guinness had died... then I remembered he died a while ago. Then I thought Ewan McGregor had died... then I clicked on the link.

Lies. Aldaraan was blown up by the empire back in 1977. I saw it on the big screen so it must be true.

Well I wish they'd make their minds up, first he died in a firefight, then he hid behind his wife, then there was only one rebel on guard but they shot him anyway...

Makes me think it's all made up as they go along.

Everyone knows that the destruction of the Death Star at Yavin was an inside job! There is no way some rag-tag bunch of rebels, especially some kid fresh off the farm, could have pulled off a job like this with only a handful of snubfighters. A proton torpedo from a T-65 lacks the power needed to take down a battlestation the size of a moon! If Moff Tarkin had a weapon capable of destroying Alderaan, why would he wait until the Death Star had a clear line of sight to the Rebel moon, instead of opening fire and creating a clear shot? No one will ask the hard questions. Note that the Emperor's right-hand man, Darth Vader, was on the Death Star shortly before it was destroyed. It wasn't until his unexplained sudden departure that the station exploded. (Of course, we must add that this Darth Vader has also been reported to have been involved in, or close to, many other important events directly linked to the old Jedi order. An order which has been shown to stand directly opposed to our glorious Emperor.)

The video released in 1977 was obviously faked. Since then, they have released the footage several times, each time with obvious changes! Wake up people! The lies are plainly visible if you only open your eyes.

Agreed,

This is preposterous, a very low attempt of these Rebel scum to stain the good will and standing of the Empire and it's people.
