So it occurs to me as I'm writing up my response, that trailers are being taken as canon and official representation of events. Um, why? I mean, the trailers where Starkiller dusts stormtroopers isn't taken as canon or usable in debates, but this one is?
Can I hear some arguments for their acceptance?
I mean...the TOR trailers are representing actual EU events. Was the Starkiller-goes-Phoenix trailer an actual occurrence in the game?
Furthermore, the actual combat isn't as extreme as the trailers for TFU; the lightsaber combat isn't at Mach 5 speed (Yoda and Sidious would mop the floor in lightsaber combat against the Jedi and Sith in the trailers, as they should) and compared to other EU material (TV shows, novels) bolstering PT characters, the Force powers aren't as extreme either. I think there was an attempt to make this a 'realistic' CGI version of an actual Star Wars mini-film.

I mean in the first TFU his suicide blow up was far more devastating than the powers he showed in the trailers.

But that proves the point. If it's well documented, that's good, I agree. But it's also common knowledge (outside of the Middle East) what happened. So what's the exact purpose of studying just the Holocaust? That's like studying just the Honda Civic. I mean, what's my major? Honda Civics?
The point about studying history is not to get a broad overview on all topics concerning history, but to learn some basics in all "timeframes" and methods to get yourself new knowledge. That's why historians usually are experts in one field of history, but don't have much more than an "overview" on the other fields.
A history class which focuses on important, timeless human themes like genocide, imperialism, colonialism, and globalization would be a relevant one to enhance one's knowledge and critical thinking.
There are such classes. But usually, even those use one specific main topic as focal point and link to other topics from there. I, for example, once took a class about the Polis in Ancient Greek - just to write a 12 page thesis paper about the Battle at Thermopylae in said class, because it was dealing with "Ancient Greek" in general - but with a focus on Athen.
A history class on just one aspect of these themes is likely to be too narrow. I mean, here I can save you a couple thousand dollars:
- Holocaust Wiki page
This actually includes the answer why to focus a class on the Holocaust:
"Each case is specific as a threshold phenomenon, while each also adds its unique memory as signposts along an incremental continuum of horror."

You what is more glorious?
Temptation by the Michigan Marching Band:
Hear this playing in The Big House when the opposition fails to convert Third Down, the best...it's just ingrained in me to pump my arm in front of me while I'm rocking back and forth to this beat.
BTW I was in the other side of the stadium during that game!
Nice elf eyes if you can pick me out from a crowd of 110,000!
Actually, I work First Aid/Event Medical Services for the Red Cross at the games. So I wearing a Red Cross vest & windbreaker, khakis, and a radio headset. Oh yeah, a Michigan hat 😄
Otherwise, I would be in the Student Section (where that video was taken)!
Oh... 😐

Or doing CPR if you are unresponsive and aren't breathing/having a pulse.
