What is the historical validity behind the common post-Imperial notion that "Greedo shot first"?

Honestly, I have yet to find a reliable source that subscribes to this Rebel propaganda. If anything, this is indicative of anti-Rodian racism inherent in the popular "hero" Han Solo, and just how much the Republic is willingly to go to whitewash history.

What are the key factors that allow continued cooperation between the Imperium of Man and the Adeptus Mechanicus?

On the surface, these factions have been fundamentally opposed since the end of the Horus Heresy, not just in their regard for the Emperor, but in their fundamental understanding of the nature of divinity. And yet, the two have cooperated without dissolving into open conflict for many, many decades, despite the Imperium's being an infamously intolerant regime. How is this the case?

To what extent were Nelson's manoeuvres at the Battle of Trafalgar influenced by the tactical genius of Admiral Ackbar?

So, yeah, basically, how much were Nelson's tactics at the Battle of Trafalgar influenced by the works and actions of Admiral Ackbar? Just looking at the Ackbar Slash (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ackbar_Slash), it looks like too much of a co-incidence that Nelson came up with his tactics independent of Admiral Ackbar? Would the works of Ackbar have been available to Nelson and the Royal Navy?

Do we actually *know* that the Taiidani were responsible for the Burning of Kharak?

I mean, think about it: who gained the most from the destruction of Kharak?

Fleet Command, that's who. Karen S'jet and her cronies over in Fleet Intelligence had everything to gain from seeing Kharak destroyed.

Do we have any real evidence that it was Scar, and not Simba, who have killed king Mufasa?

So lately I have been reading about the power struggle at the Pride Lands between king Scar to the supposed-to-be-dead King Simba, and got into realization: The only time I know about that scar admitted killing Mufasa, was when he was under a threat from Simba. It could be that Simba actually used this position to frame scar, and justify his dethroning. This alone may lead us to the fact that SIMBA killed mofasa, we know about some edvinces that's in his younger days, "he couldn't have waited to be king". But for that I need to know, is there any other evidence that Scar was the murder of mufasa, and not Simba?

How did the Empire lose the battle of Endor? Is Thrawn and Pellaeon's narrative correct?

According to their book, Sundered Saber, Thrawn and Pellaeon make the argument that the conventional, New Republic view of the battle of Endor is wrong. They argue that the idea that it was a miracle, a victory against overwhelming odds, is nothing more than jingostic and national fervor, pointing to the "key moments" in the battle and arguing how they make no sense at all.

For instance, the idea that an out of control, damaged A-Wing could single-handedly take out a Super Star Destroyer by ramming its bridge is ridiculous-not only was the A-Wing notoriously unstable and would have likely blown up, but the Executor-class Super Star Destroyers had a secondary bridge in the midsection of the ship.

They also criticize the idea that it just "happened to be" that the Rebel starfighters were able to destroy the Death Star II just before it could target any more of the Rebel capital ships. They argue that it took more than 45 minutes to charge the super laser, and such that the Rebels had plenty of time to destroy it before it could fire again.

Lastly, they also place a considerable amount of blame on the "brains" of the "EN Operation," Emperor Palpatine. They criticize both him and his second-in-command, Darth Vader, for having a lack of faith in their command staff and for coming up with a convoluted battleplan that prevented the Imperial Navy from adequately protecting the Death Star in order to "entrap the Rebels." They placed too much faith in their Sith ideology, which, combined with the toxic anti-dissident culture of the Imperial Navy prevented commanders from taking individual action that may have otherwise saved the day.

All-in-all, this narrative greatly disagrees with the conventional Republican view, and I was looking to see if there is any truth in their point of view.
