If you haven’t seen this film yet, then beware as there are a few spoilers ahead… I’m talking, of course, about the capturing of the Death Star plans in the latest Star Wars story, Rogue One.
Call me capricious, but I just think that if you overlook the basics of cybersecurity when you’re planning a galactic project that will change the course for everyone that exists in the expanded universe, then you’re asking to fail. I make an exception however, when it comes to the topic of cybersecurity. Yes, Frodo could have hopped on one of the giant eagles, dropped the one ring off in the fires of Mount Doom and then be back home again for second breakfast…but where’s the fun in that?
If we don’t, we will be forever imposing limits on their imagination. When it comes to movies, I believe we have to allow filmmakers a certain degree of creative freedom. Remember when George Lucas added the ‘clunk’ sound for the DVD release, on the moment a storm trooper accidentally whacked his head on an opening door? We the fans embrace the nitpicky mistakes and love the movies all the more for them. The Ewoks, the much maligned pint sized inhabitants of Endor, have a women’s dress that just so happens to fit Leah perfectly.įor me, this is all part of what makes Star Wars great.Ben Kenobi dedicates his later years to making sure Vader never finds out about Luke…but for some reason he didn’t think that giving Luke the surname ‘Skywalker’, or having him live with his aunt and uncle in the same house that Vader grew up in, would give the game away at all.He can sense Luke’s presence from several parsecs away, but he can’t tell his own offspring when she’s standing in front of him, threatening him with Imperial Senate sanctions. Vader has no idea that he has a daughter.
There are a lot of hard to explain, yet very amusing, plot holes in Star Wars. However, just as Oasis once claimed, true perfection has to be imperfect. It has spectacle, it has heart, and its killer twist set the benchmark for popular culture for 40 years. An intergalactic war breaks out due to some very sensitive inter-family issues, and lasts for decades. May the fourth be with you all as we celebrate the greatest movie franchise of all time.Īs stories go, it doesn’t get much better than the one that began a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away. First of all, a very happy Star Wars Day to you, from all at Cisco.
