Is it just me...

... that thinks it's a bit racist when at the end of "Star Wars episode IV: A New Hope" during that whole awards ceremony thing, there are only humans at the ceremony? If you look at the rows and rows of people behind Han, Luke and Chewie as they accept their Medals of Honor, there isn't a single non-human there. Chewie was the only wookie there or non-human of any type.

I'm trying but I'm struggling to think of a reason for it because I can tell you now that the humans weren't the only ones fighting for the rebel alliance. There were Mon Calamari, Bothans, Sullustans and Twi'leks who were also part of the rebellion, not to mention Wookies but for some reason don't get a mention. It's terrible! I mean, putting aside Luke being the blonde haired, blue eyed Nazi poster boy that he is there's something just a bit up with that!

There is also evidence of racial discrimination from the evil empire, but you would expect that with it being an "evil empire" per say. Now I know a lot of you will have already heard these before, but this could be another reason for the whole Death Star conspiracy theory. For those of you behind, read this, for those of you who know, you can skip a bit if you want.

The whole Death Star conspiracy thing goes like this: the Death Star is thought by some to have been an inside job for a couple of reasons. If you watch the Battle of Yavin you'll see that there are only a handfull of pilots and despite the lengthy "Red Leader standing by" sequence, for the amount of fighters it would have taken to blow up the Death Star, there aren't nearly enough. There would have been too few targets that would have all just have been whiped out when they were just getting close, not to mention that trench.

Another reason would be that there's the whole business with the Rebel base being on the Yavin 4, a moon orbitting around Yavin. They wait for the chance to blow it up once it's come out from behind Yavin... So they've got a laser with the capabilities of blowing up a planet, so they wait for the rebel base (while they're short on time and being blown up and that) to come out from behind Yavin (a planet that the Death Star should be able to destroy) so they can blow up the moon. You could say that they would have had to have recharged the laser which I agree they would have but to be fair, they're sat up there for a while even before the rebels come and blow them up. Even still, the debris from Yavin would have fucked up Yavin 4 really quite badly.

So generally, they're expecting us to believe that they could have likely pulled this off? That they just so happened to survive getting as close to the Death Star, the most prized weapon of the Empire? And that the guy who blew it up was no less than the son of the guy who was in charge at the time? That said guy who was in charge was one of the very few people who survived the attack? We all know Darth Vadar had ambitions for Darth Sidius's power. Working against him, even if it meant working with the rebels could bring him that step closer to that power. It works for the rebels because they're not only gaining a grand military victory, which will no doubt be used for alliance propaganda, but they also may see eye to eye on the non human front and could have been at the beginnings of raising a master race.

This could also be the reason of Lando's "betrayal" on Cloud City. Perhaps Han was close to cracking and telling his side of the story of what really happened. Han gets frozen in carbonite to keep him quiet and even though his soon to be lover Leia Organa convinced her brother to help rescue him from Jabba's palace, they were certain he wouldn't speak. Not now atleast. He can just consider himself safe with him being a human, he just has to worry about his good friend Chewie... let's hope he doesn't get hit by a moon or anything... >.<
