He's off a bit there. They stopped the show with the end of Book 6, right before the time jump for Book 7. So they didn't make the final 3 books into the show. There's hints and foreshadowing for them.

Also the books don't directly correlate with seasons until Season 4.

  • Book 1: Season 1 and first half of Season 2
  • Book 2: Second half of Season 2 and first half of Season 3
  • Book 3: Shortened and only the second half of Season 3.
  • Book 4: Season 4
  • Book 5: Season 5
  • Book 6: Season 6 (but only 6 long episodes)

People also have survivorship bias with these things. Sure your refrigerator might have lasted forever but quite a few others did not. There is a reason why appliance repair places existed and were much more common than today.

You'll be okay, regardless. You have the skills and can prove it, if given the chance. It is just frustrating trying to get to that point sometimes. Just keep your head up and reiterate the specifics of your skills to recruiters and during phone screens. Once you get to those first actual interviews, it gets a lot easier since so many people have this shared experience. I had so many interviewers ask the same question I felt like I was reciting a monologue from a movie after a while. :D

As someone who has done that, it is an uphill battle to get recognized for that work without the proper title. It's mostly recruiters who want easy commissions who won't advocate for you and quite a few HR people will screen you out even if you seem to have the skills just because you don't have that title. I hope you have a better job search than I did after doing that for a company.

I think that is just HR.

After Anakin's mom was freed she married a moisture farmer and had more kids (or the farmer already had them). So Uncle Owen is either Luke's half-uncle or his step-uncle.
