How (Darth) in(Sidious) marketing is a boon to your memory…but not really
So sorry about that subtitle. Had to, though.
Anyway, do you know what an Ewok is? How about an AT-AT? Did you know that these names were never mentioned, not even once, in the Star Wars films in which the characters or vehicles were introduced? That’s right. Not even once.
We can thank the barrage of books, action figures, model ships, Lego sets, etc., etc., for our vast store of Star Wars trivia that would never have been acquired had we simply gone to see the films alone. Thank the phenomenon of false memory creation for our thinking that the Star Wars films were actually the source of all that pop culture information.
