It was supposed to be implied. That's obvious. What I'm reacting to is Barends take on it being the gospel truth.
if the bread crumb trail stops at the edge of a gorge, and restarts on the otherside and bridge is not to far away... would you not be adamant that the person leaving the trail crossed th ebridge in the face of the countless people who insisted the crumblayer flew?
If Palps creating Ani was 100% story FACT, why did Lucas stick it in in such a way as to go over the heads of 70% of the audience?
the same reason he put a character in all three films that utterly shitted the hell out of 70% of the audience.
is this the same 70%, who can relate to purchasing a droid they already owned?
is this the same 70%, who would elect a fourteen year old candidate?
is the the same 70%, who would remember a tumultous pupil as a "good friend"?
is the the same 70%, who interperate "I HATE YOU" as "I want my son to have this when he's old enough"?
is this the same 70%, who would sneak a gun out of a holster under a table, aim it at their enemy, and still WAIT till they shot first from across a small table?
it's amazing... you feed people bullshit for long enough and they loose their taste for candy.
how come, when some snot nose kid fills the gap with lucas loving mucas it's good enough... but when an intelligent person notices a pattern with big coloured arrows pointing to it, no one wants a bar of it...
i suppose that's why we're still breathing carbon monoxide though.... people love the taste of waste.
believe what you want... it doesn't matter. but if people love this trilogy so much that they only accept theories from people who love the films so much, then why bother? I've heard so many stupid theories about things left unanswered i've nearly choked to death on my own superiority...
