Luke Skywalker murdered about 1.5 million people on the first Death Star. Then the rebels go and kill 2 million more on the second Death Star, including civilian contractors. Extremely hosed up imo.

Lucas said in 2005 that Star Wars "was really about the Vietnam War, and that was the period where Richard Nixon was trying to run for a [second] term, which got me to thinking historically about how do democracies get turned into dictatorships. Because the democracies aren't overthrown; they're given away."[61] This claim was likewise backed up by the 1973 draft for the first movie, then-called The Star Wars, where Lucas specifically mentioned that the theme involved an independent planet named Aquillae that was compared to North Vietnam, and that the Empire was "America 10 years from now",[62][63] and by Walter Murch, who claimed Lucas, after his failure with Apocalypse Now, decided to do Star Wars as a way to channel the anti-war and pro-Vietcong ideology in a disguised form.[64] Ian McDiarmid, when recalling something Lucas told him during filming of Return of the Jedi, also implied that the Oval Office, and in particular, Nixon's presidency, played a role in the design of the Emperor's throne room.

Really want to see the early version of Rogue One that was rumored to portray the rebellion more as a terrorist org, but that's never going to see the light of day.

The ambush near the beginning of rogue one makes it pretty clear that the empire is the US and the rebels are insurgents op

The Galactic Republic was cool and good and brought peace and prosperity to the galaxy. Then some batshit crazy cult members, aka jedi, got hungry for power and money and brought war to the galaxy killing billions of innocent people. The men and women of the death star were just trying to restore order and peace to the empire after the jedi hosed everything up.

The main difference between Nixon and Palpatine is that Palpatine loving loves his job.

When you're the Emperor you can do fat bong rips while you think about redecorating your huge office. Who's gonna yell at you?

It's okay they dropped leaflets on the Death Star beforehand giving the stormtroopers a chance to get off. (it was porn so they could get off from all the space sex)

This. Claudia Gray’s Lost Stars, the fabled good EU book, actually had a pretty interesting take on the Imperial view of Alderaan, where everyone’s terrified of another star war after the Clone Wars killed billions of people within living memory, so while they don’t like blowing up Alderaan they all think its worth it if it intimidates the Rebels into giving up.

The Empire commited genocide against Geonosians merely because they wanted to ensure nobody found out about the Death Star. Anyone who really thinks they were good guys probably has some strong words to tell you about WW2.
