Except the rebellion were not the good team in star wars.
The rebellion is what forced the republic to reform into the empire in the first place in order to deal with the threat that the rebels brought.
Also, the light side of the force is an ancient mystery religion who needs to recruit children, remember when Yoda says that Annakin (~8 ye old) was TOO OLD to train?
The counter point is that the empire is filled with "evil looking" characters, like how Palpatine resembles the pope for example.
I know there's like 50 books in the star wars series, so I'm talking specifically about the movies.
It's been a while since I've watched them, would need to rewatch as a refresher. (It really is an overrated series though)
The main point as that goes is that it is presumed to be occurring in a vacuum, but when you pay attention to the subtext it's at best not so simple.
I think you're mixing real life and fictional universes, and I don't think you're gonna have a good time doing that.
My concern is that you're only taking the side that represents the exact opposite of reality, and I'd hope that you'd understand me not being able to produce a sufficient amount of patience to be able to digest your fantastic claims.
I'm not going to read 50 star wars books, and neither should you.
No no... as I said, it has been some years, but rewatching the series with someone who is less excited about space sci-fi, it made me realize that the rebels are "good" in imagery and the empire evil in imagery. In their actions, the rebels always act as aggressors.
Even down to who shoots first, takes the first swing of the sabre, etc.
Remember, this is a Hollywood production, we should expect bastardization of values if not outright degeneracy promoted. The whole series is overrated because it was peak special effects and nostalgia maintaining it.
The prequels really messed up the Jedi. In the original, Kenobi wore desert robes because he has hiding on Tatooine. It wasn’t supposed to be a Jedi uniform, which would undermine him hiding. In the prequels all of the Jedis in ultra-urban Coruscant are wearing desert robes. Makes no sense.
Jedis were supposed to be knights, not monks. Medieval knights were expected to marry and raise the next generation of guardians of the realm. The prequels’ rule of no Jedi parenting was foolish, especially when the goofy midichlorian angle implied that sensitivity to the Force has a genetic component. The Jedis should’ve been encouraged to have kids, especially if there was a ban on cloning. They could’ve explained that Kenobi never had kids because he felt he failed as a father figure to Anakin, and because he was watching over Luke.
The Clone Wars should’ve been about illicit clones of Jedi. Imagine Kenobi fighting a younger version of himself, and having to rely on his experience and the light side to defeat the dark force Kenobi. Would’ve been awesome.
You should take all of that up with George
That really highlights another set of reasons the Star Wars films are way overrated.
Something that disturbed me when I tried getting my wife to watch the series. When the special effects aren't as "wow" as when new, it's easier to notice the holes.
Understand, yet our “rebellion” is yet again about taxation w/out representation, eh?
Yeeeeeh, really unsure of what movie franchise you're going off of here but it definitely is NOT Star Wars.
Holy crap, dude...
Rebels are never good guys. Rebels have no legal authority, no moral justification, not under political law, not under natural law, nor under moral law, let alone divine law. Revolutionaries, resistance or freedom fighters, Patriots... now that's a different story.
