9/11 Star Wars[edit]

I have removed this from the "Controversies" section:

On 11 September 2001, at 10:15 EDT, while he was interviewing a reporter from New York, a sequence from Star Wars episode IV briefly replaced the live satellite feed from New York showing the World Trade Center. The sequence occurs at the 91st minute of the film, which would place the logical beginning of the film at 08:44, two minutes before the impact on the first tower. The picture quickly switched to PPDA who appeared confused. The glitch was covered on the premium pay television channel Canal+'s Zapping program, and later columnist Alain Rémond wrote about this incident in the weekly Télérama on 13 October 2001, jokingly asking if al-Qaeda operatives had infiltrated TF1.

This seems to have been a minor technical glitch, nothing sinister or controversial. Statement "the logical beginning of the film at 08:44, two minutes before the impact" seems to be WP:OR; the accuracy would depend on which of the many versions of the movie was in question; the significance is left for the reader to infer. (My inference would be pareidolia.) I suppose it might be worth mentioning somewhere else in the article if it became a major enduring meme, but a couple of minor media mentions in the immediate aftermath don't provide sufficient evidence. jnestorius^(talk) 18:54, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
