Fuck, I forgot how sad that movie is.

Tap for spoilerIt's crazy to think Anakin could have had everything he ever wanted. He would have been granted the rank of master in due time, he could have lived happily ever after with the woman he loved. But instead he was groomed and manipulated by some creepy old fuck. It's really sad.

Evidence that the empire brought peace? Pretty sure they were fighting the rebels and building a super weapon to blow up planets?

Also the empire brought democratic government where everyone's heard? Is that in Andor? I've only seen a couple episodes of it. Pre empire there was the galactic senate which from my limited understanding was pretty chill. Yeah they might have relied on the problematic Jedi order too much, but the Jedi Order didn't have absolute influence over the galactic republic.

Let's check the children's treatment of Jedi younglings under both systems. Jedi controlled and indoctrinated younglings into their order. The empire, worked to deradicalize the younglings and give them therapy and help them reintegrate into society. Wait.. checks notes... sorry my mistake they slaughtered as many as they could, then spent decades hunting the rest...

It’s kindof fascinating finding “the empire was right” people in 2025. Mirrors reality. It’s like poetry, it rhymes.
