    From “Galactic Empire Did Nothing Wrong” to NAFO-like “Grey Jedi” power fantasy theorycrafters (Jedi were revealed to be child-indoctrinating magic cop tools of the state but still), Star Wars has been in ideological decay for a long, long time.

    It’s actually rare to see anyone in the internet wild that actually prefers the Rebel Alliance.

      There was also “the Empire was proven right when they built a fascist militaristic state because the Yuuzhan Vong invaded” from the EU.

        Oh lord I try to forget about that “ACKTUALLY the Emperor did nothing wrong and was just planning ahead to beat the disgusting alien hoards invading from the unknown!” reasoning. Fucking “empire did nothing wrong” promoters are just fash.

        I swear you could make the star wars equivalent of “Come and See” and you’d have people talking about how it goes as actually necessary to genocide and enslave everyone who wasn’t part of the “in group” and stormtroopers needed to join to get healthcare and career opportunities

            Lmfao are you fucking kidding me? I never read much of the Vong stuff, mainly skimmed wookiepedia for that era, but you’re telling me the Vong quislings called themselves the “Diversity Alliance”? If Disney hadn’t axed the expanded universefrothingfash would be having a field day with that
