This is mostly cut-n-paste from another post I made recently at Beggar's Canyon. Basically, I was first exposed to Star Tours and Ewok movies, then recorded TV broadcasts of Jedi, then Empire, then St ...

It's an interesting rule. It does need some fleshing out, but actually I quite like the elegance of the idea.

We see tiny starfighters grouping together to take on big capital ships in RotJ, and of ...

Mine strangely go more or less in production order: 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, with the non-episodes scattered about here and there.
