    Yeah, cause it’s fiction idiot. You know, the thing where we can have clear cut situations that are entirely black and white. Where one side is entirely evil and the entire one pure good. Reality fucking sucks

      Yup. Often when “It is a period of civil war” the rebels are horrible people, as we saw in the US civil war. Also Star Wars takes a lot from WWII, a conflict where an Alliance (Allies) defeated an Empire. Actually multiple Empires.

      The uniforms of the Star Wars Empire look a lot like the German Empire, and the trench run was like a dam-busting bombing run and Hoth was like Dunkirk. But the allies had significantly more resources than the Empires had in WWII. Also the Allies was the side that built a super weapon.

      So… what should we learn from Star Wars? I dunno… fascism is bad even if they might have cool uniforms. That and… pew pew pew voom voom.

      That’s the fun part about Palestine. Reality rarely gets as black and white as it is there.

      And still our country is cheering for black.
