Is this true? I'd never heard this in all my Search Engine studies, but wanted to run it by you guys for feedback.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Would your friend be so kind and tell us who is that guy claiming to be an expert?

And Google confirms that is is not true. I made a search for "star wars" and look what I got:
stars wars - Google Search

Is that expert probably one of those very well known scammer SEOs?
