"astroturfed" People were making their own toys because no one thought to make any ahead of time
The Empire was shit in some ways, but their policies greatly improved the lives of people in the Outer Rim, who were previously extremely heavily taxed by the Republic to line the pockets of corrupt bankers and politicians.
SW did gangbusters because of the current trend at the time was nothing but dystopian and disaster movies
people got tired of that shit and actually wanted to see a HOPEFUL movie for once
star trek was designed for smart nerds and star wars was for dumb ones, and it effectively captured a generation of children
the boomers and early gen x's
Star Trek is Sci-Fi, Star Wars is fantasy
Before bezos settled on Amazon.com, he toyed with naming his unlaunched store MakeItSo.com. He entertained using the phrase because he couldn’t contain a long-standing enthusiasm. The rejected moniker was a favored utterance of a man Bezos idolizes: the captain of the starship USS Enterprise-D, Jean-Luc Picard.
Bezos is unabashed in his fanaticism for Star Trek and its many spin-offs. He has a holding company called Zefram, which honors the character who invented warp drive. He persuaded the makers of the film Star Trek Beyond to give him a cameo as a Starfleet official. He named his dog Kamala, after a woman who appears in an episode as Picard’s “perfect” but unattainable mate.
not a dog fucker btw.
all you really need is healthy skepticism, who pushed it, what do the names mean, how was it integrated into film studios, advertising companies, who created the product lines
what is says inside it's own little universe is largely irrelevant, you won't understand it unless you study esoteric symbolism and or judaism
Nah, bro, Star Wars was based until Disney bought it. Star Trek was always progressive for its era. Critics at the time complained that Star Wars had too many white people. Star Trek had one of the first interracial romances portrayed on television.
yeah thats called divide and conquer
wut?
I think you're really reaching tbh
Imagine thinking that you will get any positive messages from media produced by Jews
VERY overreaching
/thread
jumping into fandoms because their civil society is eroding
https://youtu.be/s64ZA6RxhI0 I don't know if this are space Jews or chad.
i always figured the Trade Federation Nemoidians were supposed to be the Space jews
Then there's watto..
they always sounded like jews to me
Watto is a REAL Jew. not an Askenazi
left in the desert looking old an haggard
the Trade Federation is basically the India Company
but the Neimodians are supposed to be Asian
I'm not sure if Chinese or Vietnamese or something
this ^
Crony Capitalism
yeah the Trade Federation is like a corporate conglomerate
so Damask Holdings was the largest corporation there
and was owned by Plagueis and later on by Palpatine
Palpatine is also a noble from Naboo
