    If you would just learn history, you’d know that Alderaanian culture is a lie invented by Jedi extremists. There was never an Alderaanian identity before 0BBY, their so-called ‘Alderaan’ was simply an uninhabited rock used before it was used for weapons calibration testing by the Elbit Star. Rebels just started claiming to be from Khalderaan to push the anti-Nabooist conspiracy theories circulating around Palpatine.

        Rebels does, as did the Imperial campaign in the Rogue Squadron game. One of the characters is someone who unironicall supports the empire but wants to restore senatorial power, like the “Moderate” republican to Mon Mothma’s shitlib.

        Its implied she’s even more of a moral void than the outright fascists who at least openly want and revel in war and bloodshed.

        Rebels has things like Empire Day where there are parades etc and you see the average Imperial’s apathy.

        And andor has incel guy mall cop as a main character who buys the kool aid, of course

          There was also the shitty battlefront 2 story mode where you play as a stormtrooper special ops lady for like 3 missions before realising that committing genocide is bad when you’re told to do it to humans so defect to the rebels

        Not quite what you’re looking for, but I remember in that Han Solo movie that I saw a few years ago, that I reacted to how the Empire’s recruitment efforts used a major key version of the Imperial March.

          it was a very 90s kinda internet, and none of the characters we followed were posters.

      If you haven’t seen it, Troops is a classic Star Wars fan work (pre-prequels!) that tells the story of A New Hope from the point of view of the Stormtroopers, in the form of a Cops-like reality TV episode. (CW: contains comedic depictions of police violence)

    When you are so nuanced and objective that you refuse to support national liberation against a genocidal apartheid regime because the resistence is made of hooded openly devoted muslims.

      It’s why I love Andor so much. It’s like the only media from a mainstream franchise that shows that resistance in progress isn’t always pretty or pure or honorable.

      You don’t always get to choose who you fight alongside, but if you’re in the same room and your guns point to the same enemy, then your goal is the same until you get the luxury to decide otherwise.

        I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. The only issue with Andor is they didn’t use the SWBF1 (EA) thermal imploder noise in the riot scene.

        Just listen to this noise:

          And ironically it was ultimately Han who this one time ignored Leia’s warning, went to make Corellia Great Again, and as effect started a civil war which killed probably billions and fucked up his own family like no event before (Legacy series).

    You don’t understand, destroying Alderaan was the only way to end the war. So many more soldiers would have had to die if they had to land and fight on each planet in the system.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
