Line 282:
** Oh, Wallbangery in Star Wars gets better with the "The Clone Wars" Volume comics. The FIRST issue already had gaping plotholes. The Banking-Clan was found building seperatist battle cruisers in their shipyards, so the Jedi proposed to destroy it. All fine and good, but Palpatine gives the explanation that the Banking-Clan is neutral in the war and an attack on their ships would make them side with the Confederacy. This would be the Banking Clan whose chairman San Hill verbally signed on with Dooku in "Attack of the Clones" while Obi-Wan was watching. That makes them about as neutral as the Trade Federation.
*** It seems that in ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]'' cartoon series, the Trade Federation was still part of the Republic and disavowed Nute Gunray while one of the Holonet News broadcasts seemed to have a neutral/Republic supporting Techno Union guy. It may be that the Commerce Guilds had internal divisions with regard to the war (or more likely, maintain a veneer of plausible deniability to play both sides against the middle and exploit the situation for maximum profitability).

** For extra concussion, see the [[Wall Banger (Darth Wiki)/Western Animation|Wall Banger section on Western Animation]]. The Peanuts animated 'toons cranked it up to eleven.

* The quality of ''[[Alien]] vs. [[Predator]]'' comics varies wildly... but ''Alien vs. Predator vs. [[Terminator]]'' has a moment of brain imploding super handwaving that results in INSTANT head desk. Following the events of Alien: Resurrection, the writers clearly felt a need to reconcile the two continuities. Ready for it? The characters find a message from John Connor explaining the threat from the [[Terminator]] that's spoiling everyone's day - naturally, he exposits on Skynet, Judgement Day and the like. Someone comments they missed, oh, the whole genocide of humanity by sentient machines and reduction of most of the world to rubble. What possible explanation could there be for almost the entire human race being oblivious to this? MILITARY COVER UP!
** Who would do this? The military would be the Resistance who just spent their lives living in the dirt, eating garbage, and ''trying to stop the machines''. A reaction akin to that in the [[Dune]] universe seems infinitely more likely than a cover up. No one alive is going to want to cover this up.
