Battle of Stars Hollow

The Battle of Stars Hollow was an event in Stars Hollow history, when, on frigid November night in 1776 or an undetermined month in 1779, twelve Stars Hollow militiamen risked their lives awaiting the redcoats in the town square. The town takes great pride in this, despite that the British army never showed up. Luke seems to be the only one with serious objections to reenacting the "battle" each year, since nothing actually happened. Later (ep. 5.11) it is revealed that a prostitute sympathetic to the colonists delayed a general overnight, allowing Lafayette to attack the British troops. Several townspeople have taken part in a yearly reenactment including Luke's deceased father and Luke's deceased uncle, Taylor, the mayor, Kirk, and Andrew. Despite the historical significance the event has for the townspeople, there seem to be several discrepancies between the accounts of the "battle" between season one and five.
