Uncomfortable Questions: Was the Death Star an Inside Job (Sounds like a TROOFER parody to me!)
Cabinet of Wonders ^ | June 22, 2007 | UTL

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.

Like many citizens of the Empire, I was fed this story when I was growing up. But as I watched the video, I began to realize that all was not as it seemed. And the more I questioned the official story, the deeper into the rabbit hole I went.

Presented here are some of the results of my soul-searching regarding this painful event. Like many citizens, I have many questions that I would like answered: was the mighty Imperial government really too incompetent to prevent a handful of untrained nerf-herders from destroying one of their most prized assets? Or are they hiding something from us? Who was really behind the attack? Why did they want the Death Star destroyed? No matter what the answers, we have a problem.

Below is a summary of my book, Uncomfortable Questions: An Analysis of the Death Star Attack, which presents compelling evidence that we all may be the victims of a fraud of immense proportions.

Uncomfortable Questions about the Death Star Attack

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?

Well look at the Titanic. Everybody knows that steel is stronger than ice, yet we’re supposed to believe that ice crushed the steel.

The caption under the graph on the second page made me LOL. I sure didn’t see that coming.

I liked the time lapse of the spoon next to the ice.

I remember the rabbit cage test. Sadly that guy actually thinks he proved something.

A lot of DUer's agree with him. It's called confirmation bias. (Happens on a certain conservative forum I could name, as well, unfortunately.)

The classic had to the New York Magazine thread on the interview with Dan Rather. These people are completely delusional. They either defend the documents, or change the topic to "Why hasn't George Bush refuted the charges?" (Why haven't the Juice refuted the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion?)
