Just as I came to understand that the version of the 50s we were fed in the 70s and the version of the 60s we were fed in the 80s were bunk, I hope that people nowadays understand that the version of the 70s, 80s, 90s etc. they have been fed are also most likely bunk. I long ago coined a blessing/curse for this: “may you live long enough to see the times you lived in become grossly oversimplified and mis-represented”.
Selective memory and distilling history down to less than a handful of bullet points is a hell of a drug. I find it entirely believable that in the SW universe facts would become vague rumors in such a short time.
