Luke’s Change: The Death Star was an inside job

March 19th, 2013

Ok, so we’re going to get a little satirical this Tinfoil Tuesday, but this is too good not to share. A video has surfaced poking fun at we few fringe conspiracy theorists called “Luke’s Change.” In case it isn’t painfully obvious it’s a parody of the 9/11 Truth documentary “.” The video description reads:

“An examination of some questionable events and circumstances leading up to the destruction of the Death Star, through the eyes of an amateur investigative journalist within the Star Wars galaxy. The focus is mainly on the connections between the people who created and operated the Death Star and those responsible for destroying it.”

Have a look.

It’s genius if you ask me. I especially like the use of the music from the original Loose Change video. I hope the 9/11 Truthers out there are good natured enough to laugh with us. Not to get too meta, but I think it does say something about how reality appears from different angles. As the American philosopher, and systems theorist Buckminster Fuller once said, “The Universe consists of non-simultaneously apprehended events.” So, as you can imagine, many competing theories always emerge explaining any given scenario. Fuller famously invented the geodesic dome, which ironically appears more or less the same from different angles.

But no discussion of the politics of the Death Star explosion is complete without this scene from Kevin Smith’s 1994 classic, Clerks.
