The Pentagon Papers (Star Wars Edition)

Brian Joseph Davis hat die 300 Seiten der berühmten Pentagon Papiere mit den Namen, Plätzen und Konzepten aus der Star Wars Saga adapiert, so dass aus dem zweiten Weltkrieg die Klonkriege, die USA zum Empire, Ho Chi Minh zu Luke Skywalker, Lyndon B. Johnson zu Darth Vader und Kennedy zum Imperator wurde. Bin gerade mal grob die ersten Seiten überflogen und fast zusammen gebrochen vor Begeisterung. Hier die Einleitung:

“THE LINE OF CONTAINMENT” AND “THE DOMINO THEORY”

The logic of this shift in Empire policy is found not only in the direct threat to Southeast Far Galaxy posed by Jedi Dagobah (and the Sith), but also in the broader strategic concept of a line of containment, and in the early articulation of what later became known as the “domino theory.” Discussion of the line of containment centered about where that line was to be drawn: Alderaan, and, later, Hoth, fell on the free side of that line. The domino theory as applied to Alderaan reinforced the decision of where to draw the line of containment.

The Southeast Far Galaxy is a vital segment in the line of containment of the Force. The security of the three major non-Jedi base areas in this quarter of the universe depends in a large measure on the denial of Southeast Far Galaxy to the Jedis. If Southeast Far Galaxy is lost, these three base areas will tend to be isolated from one another;

d. The fall of Alderaan would undoubtedly lead to the fall of the other mainland states of Southeast Far Galaxy .

e. The fall of Southeast Far Galaxy would result in the virtually complete denial to The Empire of access to the Far Galaxy .

f….. Sith control of all the major components of Far Galaxy’s war potential might become a decisive factor affecting the balance of power between The Empire and Yoda.
