Yes, I know God is God, and he has absolute totalitarian control over EVERYTHING, ESPECIALLY us. However, in case you haven’t noticed, a lot of creators often go out of their way to go against audience expectations, and constantly prove their wills mean nothing (otherwise, we would be calling the shots).

Besides, let me remind you that the Original Trilogy was the same set of movies that had two old men outright lying to the hero about the fate of his father (claiming Vader murdered him, when in fact, Vader and Luke’s father were one and the same), and when called out on it, Obi-Wan essentially peddled moral relativism by saying it was “true from a certain point of view.” And how the Ewoks beat the Empire despite being complete primitives (in such a way that grossly exaggerates the efforts of the Vietcong, and was one of the reasons ROTJ was a disappointment to several people).

I can deduce Lucas lying when there’s actual proof against his claims (like development notes and the sort), like for example his recent claim that Greedo always shot first, since the shooting script made clear Han shot first.

On the contrary, our wills mean everything, which is why right now nothing but hero dims are doing well.
