How do you even measure years in an interplanetary community? Shouldn't every planet have different years?
Imperial propaganda.
Just like white people, few decades ago they were the cream of the crop, now look at them.

The prequels are non canon man
>>63456060
Because there were only a hundred left in an entire galaxy. So if people did see one, they wouldn't see one in action, let alone give them any attention.
And the Empire did a good job villainizing them, as well as erasing whatever history/temples they could find.
There was a huge Expanded Universe retcon to explain this one mistake in George Lucas dialogue:

Censorship from the Empire

Star Wars = fantasy.
Star Trek = science fiction.
>>63456138
>the prequels are non-canon
THIS IS WHAT JJ WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE
LUCAS PURISTS HOLD STRONG
DARK TIMES ARE COMING
>>63456174
Star Trek is sci-fi, not science fiction.
With the exception of the Harlan Ellison episode which, in its butchered version, might be science fiction, but not quite speculative fiction.

>You fought in the Clone Wars?
>Yes. I was once a Jedi Knight, the same as your father.
>That reminds me. Luke, did I ever tell you that in our prime (which happened to be a mere 20 years ago), the Jedi had Dragon Ball Z powers and could destroy armies single-handedly, run at lightning fast speed, deflect blaster bolts with stunning precision, jump tens of thousands of feet in the air, and hover around for prolonged periods of time? "Crouching Jedi, Hidden Sith" sums up that era well.
>Now that I'm an old man, I can't do any of that anymore. Time is not a good friend.
>>63456060
well they were super secretive so no outsiders really knew about their shit and then they all got fucking murdered so there's that
>>63456060
Because of the most charismatic speech. Ever.

I hope the Han Solo prequel addresses why he thinks the Jedi are bullshit since he would of been alive while they were around.

star wars was a long time ago dragon ball z had not been created

What do you think sci-fi means?

Exactly what the authors who coined it think it means:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fiction#The_term_.22sci-fi.22
This isn't like "film" versus "movie", the term was created as an insult and then it caught on.
>long time ago
>galaxy far away
Obviously, we can't expect all the information we receive to be completely accurate. Just look at our own civilization's convoluted history.
>muh destroyed archives
>muh super secretive limited club membership.
Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.
So a fucking illiterate slave boy, his junk trading owner, a gangster and fuck knows who else on some obscure backwater planet all know what Jedi are. Not to mention all the parents who send their fucking toddlers off to the highly visible and well known academy. Fuck they probably had Jedi trading cards. Girls probably had fuckable Jedi on posters on their bedroom walls.
Just admit that no two of these trilogies will mesh together very well and make sense w/o some serious retconning and you'll all be a lot happier when you inevitably spend your shekels to go see it anyway.
This movie is going to suck. Really, that's all that needs to be said.
And we all know it.
>>63456060
I guess in the same way that people today don't know about nor care about certain events that happened 20 years ago.
>>63456469
I hope to god you're baiting.
