Prequels throw new light on Episode IV

[Buzz Bumble]

Somebody with WAY too much time on their hands has investigated Episode IV from a new (and somewhat wacky) perspective after seeing the events of the Prequel Trilogy.

double oh dee two?

It's quite long, but basically comes down to R2-D2 and Chewbacca being the prime characters of the Saga.

The name is Detoo ... Artoo Detoo. Oil, shaken, not stirred

It's a possible way to interpret things, but the level of intelligence that the author gives to R2 and Chewie is far greater than what the movies would seem to indicate.

That just proves how well their undercover identities are working.

I wish R2's and Chewie's undercover identities were so good in the prequels that we never saw them in those movies.
