And then read the rebuttal

Well, I tried reading it, but after this bit:

Quote:
I'm writing thislengthy response to Stoklasa's review because it's massively overrated, and simply wrong andeven dishonest on numerous pointsI lost all interest. The RLM reviews are opinion, that's all, and they never claim they're anything else. To claim the reviews are overrated are opinion too, but to decry the length of the reviews, then to write a 106-page missive is sheer hypocrisy.

This is anal retentiveness on a biblical scale, rebutting comedic opinion with differing opinion. The author wants attention by hanging on the coat-tails of Mike & Jay, and it couldn't be more obvious

he "did the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs". Ooh, hang on, I know this one. It's one of two theories.

1. The Kessel run comes close to the event horizon of a black hole. The closer you get, the shorter the kessel run takes, as the high speed required to safely enter and exit the crest of the black hole means... oh, hang on, try the second theory..

2. There's a short cut in the kessel run that goes through an asteroid field, which can only be navigated at high spee..... hang on, try the third theory

3. Lucas didn't know what a Parsec was when he 'invented' the word

1) There's absolutely no guarantee that "parsec" means the same in a galaxy far, far away as it does on 21st Century Earth.  For all we know it could be a root vegetable.

2) Han Solo is one of the foremost bullshippers on Corellia, and I may have misspelt one of the words in that sentence deliberately.

3) Does it really matter if George got his terminology wrong?  I'd hate to think that sci-fi is being constrained by science Nazis.  Not that it's a new phenomenon, Hugo Gernsback got totally bent out of shape by a short story by John W Campbell (of Thing From Another World fame) that he wrote a really snitty editorial about "Reasonableness In Science Fiction" in Amazing Stories.  If he'd had his way, sci-fi would all be earnest, deadly stuff with no room for rocket packs, lightsabers or idiots called Han Solo.

Glad I've seen that, I think I'd forgotten how crap TPM is.  That's saved me the cost of a 3DBD (provided of course Lucasfilm deigns to release TPM as a 3D Bluray - there's always the possibility you-know-who will make us all wait until after the last of the six films has been converted before releasing them as another box set.)
