Secret Leaders of the Rebellion

I refer to this document a lot, and I finally remembered to post it. Or maybe I've already posted it, and couldn't find it. Anyway. Using new information in the Star Wars prequels, the author, one Keith Martin, reinterprets the original trilogy--most interestingly by suggesting that R2-D2 and Chewbacca are the ones really running the show. Excerpt:

Chewie persuaded Han to do business with Jabba the Hutt so he could make regular runs to Tattoine, where Chewie could pass messages between Kenobi and Organa. When R2's urgent message came through only days before, the only way for Chewie to get back to Tattoine in time was to make the "mistake" that forced Han to dump his cargo to avoid capture. As a down side, this led to Solo's getting a death mark out on him from Jabba the Hutt. Chewie was a bit upset about the need for that but figured they weren't going to be dealing with Tattoine for much longer.

En route to Alderaan, R2 and Chewie play stop-motion chess. This is the latest in a series of games they've played over the year in the back rooms of space stations and cantinas across the galaxy, but this is the first time they've done it in front of their respective straight men, so they put on a big show.
