This is the one of the strangest elements of the Star Wars universe, yet it has gotten no serious attention from the geek community. Just imagine Han piloting the Falcon through some part of the SW Galaxy when he encounters three short paragraphs or so scrolling past. Where do they come from and where do they lead? Is it some manifestation of the mysterious way the Force guides the evolution of the Universe?
Furthermore, I seem to have confused New Years with April Fools. Now it will be clear why I'll set off fireworks on April 1st.

You mean, it should go something like this?
Give a man a fire, and you keep him warm for a day. SET a man on fire, and you will keep him warm for the rest of his life...
