Well, here we are again. Can you not even handle a simple and respectful discussion? Really Jou, is the idea that someone else disagrees with you that foreign? Once again I ask which guideline I have broken, but I see now you need not have a reason block me, you just do. If this is goodbye, then so be it. Im sorry to have disturbed you so deeply in your soul. I merely wished have a discussion.

@Daisy Aipom

When do we see the Empire enslave that could not be explained as POW labor?

Yes wookiee children were taken prisoner because no matter how old you are, being a soldier leaves you liable to capture. We also can asssume these "Children" are at least teenagers based on their size.

Of course the rebels werent targeting civilians, (Mostly) but civilians

die in war, always.

@Wolfscar45

The rebel alliance was a hostile force, and in any case the results were the same, as we saw in the Galactic civil war. The civilians of Japan were mostly peaceful as well. And the Alderaanian government was also funding war operations against the Empire.

Your third paragraph assumes what we are trying to discuss.

Palpatine did indeed accelerate the conflict, but (1) That conflict was going to happen anyway, and (2) he knew the Republic was too corrupt and unstable to deal with it, and such a war was the only way to stabilise the galaxy, and destroy the Jedi.

I also have more legends experience than Disney Canon.

I can agree with all of those as good things, and I imagine there are many policies you disagree with, but I have found it hard to justify a war on the Empire.

Of course first we must deal with the largest and most often used anti-Empire argument: the destruction of Alderaan. I personally do not believe this was Tarkin's lone decision, but a calculated and necessary action. Akin to the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a show of force to deter a more devastating conflict. The death and destruction of the clone wars was still fresh in everyone's minds, and in order to avoid a repeat of that, Palpatine was willing to go to almost any length.

This is of course controversial, just as the atomic bombs were, but I believe it was necessary.

Which policies are you referring too?

@Wolfscar45

I mean supporting their rule of the galaxy. Certainly not everything they did was right, but it was better than the alternative.

@Zadrot Skyrima

I would consider there to be a difference between POW labor, ans slavery.

The Death Star's goal was to prevent a second clone war, to avoid the deaths of billions and billions of innocent civilians.

I can see your point, but I would hesitate to label all of them as performative.

Do you truly think its impossible that someone could honestly support the Empire?

Im proud of you for speaking out against the Jedi.

Ive never understood people's dislike of TBOBF. I loved it.

They both are amazing

Im sorry that you thought I was a troll and I was not intending to be disruptive, I apologize for that. I assure I am not a troll and I was merely trying to have a thoughtful discussion on the matter.

Hey Everybody, I got blocked a couple months ago and I just want to know why to avoid further inconveniences.

I wrote a similar essay a while back commenting on the heavy use of plot armour that has tarnished the Stormtrooper reputation. Completely agree. Great post!
