About
Hi there, Welcome to my site. Here I break character a bit, and talk about this project. This is (obviously) a fake site. My assignment was to create an archive revolving around one of the Star Wars movies or shows that I watched for my class "Empire Strikes Back." The archive examines the way that power influences society's narrative of history. I chose to have my archive to be from the perspective of this Dr. Ran Kibruli for a few reasons.1. I wanted to highlight the way the internet (or Holoweb) has drastically changed the way that we as a society can exchange ideas and information
2. The way that Dr. Ran Kibruli was able to publish document against the wishes of the New Republic shows the way that changes in governance are not always smooth. The fledgling republic would not have a full control over the narratives surrounding its rise to power.
3. I felt that the premise of this archive allowed us to easily question why the New Republic wouldn't have wanted to include these Ewok documents in their narrative of the rebellion. How do they change the way we view the Battle of Endor?
