The Rebels were terrorist
s
I remember an NPR article
That came out shortly after Attack of the Clones
The Empire's only mistake was failing to crush the rebellion immediately
And they were positing the argument that a flawed despot was better than a corrupt Jedi
Absolutely correct
The people were better under the empire than under the republic
The Empire actually cared to intervene in issues
nah
While the Republic felt content sitting back while planets were invaded

Looking back, it's rather telling how NPR, a Dem-friendly establishment, favoured the Dictator over the council <:think_woke:378717098681171988>
Not that I'd take too much stock in any of it
I do remember when I was younger thinking the Empire wasn't as atrocious as it was made out to be, though
I guess it depends how far into the EU you get
EU ain't canon no more
Empire isn't bad in new canon
IDGAF
Fuck canon
I don't fucking care
Rebels = ISIS
Thing about Luke Skywalker
The EU tried to make everyone in the Empire unhinged lunatics, but they always had the right idea
So they didn't actually look bad
fuck fanboyism tbh
The EU was rebel propaganda
An Orphan whose mother died at birth was radicalized by a senile old man into a cult
He then proceeded to destroy a large space station that contained millions of civilions
Literally a terrorist
Playing TIE Fighter as a kid probably.. had an effect.
Since my copy came with the Stele Chronicles booklet
Battlefront II is probably one of my favorite shooter campaigns
I really like the game's story
Empire looked like the sort of Neocons people in this discord hate though 🤣
Oh shit, Republic Commando?!
STOP INTERVENING IN EVERYTHING
Amazing
That too
Man, I bought the Star Wars pack on steam
I bought the Star Wars pack in real life
