It has been quite a while since my last blog. This is all due to some significant shifting in my personal life. Buying a house, renovating it and making plans for getting married can take up quite a lot of time. During all this business I thought of a certain element in the storyline of Episode III and subsequently IV: birth certificates.

Just over a year now we have known that Luke and Leia were born in the Polis Massa sector, an asteroid cluster somewhere in the Outer Rim. Yoda, Obi-Wan and Senator Organa used this facility to try and save Padmé from dying. The twins were born there and Padmé died. A sad ending to a tragic telling. Luke and Leia were then each taken to a different planet (Tatooine and Alderaan) to grow up not knowing their special inheritance.

My questions are: what was the birthplace on the birth certificates of the two kids? Polis Massa or Tatooine and Alderaan?

And what was the father's name on those certificates, for that matter? Did the Jedi and the Senator willingly falsify official documents to keep the kids out of sight?

Was Luke's name on his certificate Luke Skywalker of Luke Lars? If the former is true, why was Leia name Leia Organa and not Leia Skywalker?

Catch my drift?

If you ask me: There has been some serious tampering with official documentation by the principals and this could be considered as being very Dark Side behavior.

Well, any thoughts? Probably yes, and keep it civil
