(relatively low stakes, as in like not 9/11 or JFK level)

Mine: plastic straw (and now plastic cutlery) ban initiatives are directly funded by petrochemical companies. Plastic straws are one of the most common and useful types of disposable plastic an average American encounters every day, so banning them causes people a huge inconvenience and tarnishes the idea of other green initiatives (that might have actual teeth) as more nanny state "not allowed to have this"-ery (also has the side effect of making gullible libs think they're actually doing something to help the planet by using a reusable straw while they get their plastic container of meat products)

    That when Lucas wrote "A New Hope", he never intended for Vader to be Luke's father. He only came up with that idea after the first movie made it big.

      Isn't that pretty well-documented though? Especially given when Luke talks to Obi-Wan in RotJ he does that incredible backpedal. "oh uh yeah I said he killed your dad but I meant uh in a greater kinda abstract sense"

      Vader is literally the German word for father. I doubt that was a coincidence.
