    Episodes 1, 2, 3 I watched older and kinda had the same realisation.

    On one side, you’ve got an Empire that brought peace, thriving economies, and a democratic government where everyone’s heard. But their morals are awful.

    On the other side you’ve got people all for freedom, but take children, forbid them of family and sex, make them religious radicals, and support terrorists that have no real plans.

    These options are shit and shittier, and people kill over them because they’ve drunk the kool-aid of one of them. It reminds me of current society. I like to think Luke’s inexplicable hermit life was because of that realisation.

    Personally, I’d side with the Empire. But it’s not like I’d be happy about it. Just assume over generations it gets better, lest they lose control and that’s all they want.

    But take the pros from both and you got Han. What a loveable character. Flaws are natural, not intentional. Vote Han.




  • Ah, by all distinction and similarity with Nazism and the Nazi party, there are few groups in the world right now that are more aligned to it than Benny’s cohort and ideologies. But they are not as effective in their actions. Ben’s damned near line for line from the Nazi playbook.

    The only hold back is social. The world’s not able to socially understand how those persecuted by the Nazis have now become the Nazis. Honestly, the only difference here is we’re talking a small section of the middle-east and not all of Europe. The stinctions are otherwise quite minimal.

    Everyone here balancing the ethics of getting wet like it’s assault.

    Water melts snowflakes and wicked witches, everyone else need not worry.

    All living things should be used to being wet either all the time or somewhat regularly. To think beyond that, wow, society has its teeth in you and you are lost.
