The Devil Mouse is taking their raping of Generation X’s collective childhood memories to a whole new level.
Disney is also rewriting The Battle of Hoth.
The first scene sees a Rebel soldier then tell Leia, “General, there’s a fleet of Star Destroyers coming out of hyperspace in sector four.”
Leia responds, “It’s risky but, we can’t hold out much longer.”
From the very beginning the short is altering what actually happened in The Empire Strikes Back. What actually happened is that a Rebel soldier informs General Rieekan of the Imperial fleet emerging out of hyperspace.
As you can see in the clip below, the soldier tells Rieekan, “General, there is a fleet of Star Destroyers coming out of hyperspace in Sector 4.”
Rieekan responds, “Reroute all power to the energy shield. Gotta hold them until all transports are away. Prepare for ground assault.”
Not only does the short remove Rieekan completely, but it also refers to Leia as General. She did not use that title in The Empire Strikes Back. She was referred to as Princess. In fact, she didn’t take on the title of General until she formed the Resistance in Disney’s sequel trilogy.
