Somethign tha I'm surprised he didn't mention, given that the cover of his book begs this very question:
When the event was first transmitted, the Death Star had a simple combustive exlosion. Yet over the last ten years new footage has surfaced that shows some sort of giant plasma-ring emanating from, and centered on the exlosion. Almost everyone can recal the original explosion, and yet no one can find that footage.
Was the video tampered with? Why can't we find the other version? What don't they want us to see?
An excellent point. Similar issues have come up regarding the confrontation between Han Solo (instrumental in enabling Skywalker's the destruction of the Death Star, if the official version is to be believed) and the bounty hunter Greedo, specifically which of them shot first in the confrontation leading to the latter's demise.
Obviously, pro-rebellion revisionist propaganda has elevated this cold-blooded underworld murder into some noble act of self-defense on Solo's part.
Not too mention the sudden "appearence" of numerous creatures and beings wandering around Tatooine and other planets. A blatant attempt to increase populations numbers and inflate their representation in the Senate.
That ring isn't worth noting. Probably just outgassing.

Everyone knows that "outgassing" is actually caused by Jedis.

Continuing Internal Monologue's series on Star Wars revisionist history, we have these questions from someone who isn't buying the official line on how the Death Star was destroyed: 1) Why were a handful of rebel fighters able to penetrate the defenses of a battle station that had the capability of destroying an entire planet and the defenses to ward off several fleets of battle ships?
...
4) Why has there not been an investigation into allegations that Darth Vader, the second-ranking member of the Imperial Government, is in fact the father of the pilot who allegedly destroyed the Death Star?
5) Why did Lord Vader decide to break all protocols and personally pilot a lightly armored TIE Fighter? Conveniently, this placed Lord Vader outside of the Death Star when it was destroyed, where he was also conveniently able to escape from a large-sized rebel fleet that had just routed the Imperial forces. Why would Lord Vader, one of the highest ranking members of the Imperial Government, suddenly decide to fly away from the Death Star in the middle of a battle? Did he know something that the rest of the Imperial Navy didn’t? People interested in such material will want to read the whole thing.
