Occam would say that the much more likely and realistic explanation is that that mind is not infallible and it is 100% more likely that you remembered 1 specific line from Star Wars wrong vs alternate time lines.
To me the question is not if the mind is infallible, but why large groups "misremember" the exact same thing.(which is obvious in some cases)
So misremembering is only twice as likely as alternate time lines. I would say that are significant odds.

I think a part of my interest in the Mandela Effect stems from a vague sense of being off kilter. Almost as if I was transported to an alternative universe even before seeing anything about the Mandela Effect.
Differences in memories some that could be explained by different view points, others that seem just totally out somewhere in left field.
So here is a wild theory, I am sure to get bashed on but I m going to throw it out there anyway:
I was recently reading through the post "A Window of Opportunity" written by Hidden_Hand, and near the bottom of the second page he mentioned that those who did not make the "harvest" would be sent to an alternative third density planet, a kind of duplicate earth.
So what if all of us noticing slight changes are refugees from another reality, that Sid not make the 2012 harvest/cut for whatever reason?
Like I said, I am just throwing this out there.

Take the Star Wars example. The reason a whole bunch of people remember it wrong, is because someone quoted the movie wrong ages ago, and people are remembering the [wrong] quote.
Add on top of that that attention is being drawn to this specific example, and it totally explains why a whole bunch of people suddenly realize their memories are wrong.

I think there might be a way to confirm if there is a phenomenon happening or not. As of 2012 there were 33 known people with the condition of possessing an extremely detailed autobiographical memory. Hyperthymestics are able to remember an abnormally vast amount of their life experiences.
Give these people a questionnaire and compare their results. If several of them disagree then something is most likely amiss.

In contrast, the other universes of the many-worlds interpretation do not exist in other dimensions or other regions of space. Instead, they are right here, superimposed on our Universe but invisible and inaccessible. The other selves they contain really are "you".

I've got a theory:
People are dumb with short attention spans and pay too much attention to unattributed sources.
There are millions of sources, if this is how you feel why not do the research yourself and share.

Here's the research: go to the source.
Stop referring to pop culture, texts/tweets and wikipedia for your 'proof'
And look into "Confirmation Bias" while you're at it.

sigh - another " explaination " offering yet another level of utterly unevidenced complexity to allow people to deny the faliability of thier memory
