But there must've been a death star canteen, yeah? There must've been a cafeteria downstairs.
There are chefs and janitors on aircraft carriers.
I want the penne all’arrabbiata.
So you say there was no independent contractors building Death Star in Return of the Jedi ?
Exactly - we’ve allowed our government(s) to dilute the definition of terrorism through constant misuse. It’s not terrorism to attack military targets, even if the attacker is a stateless actor. Similarly, it is terrorism to attack civilians, even when perpetrated by a government. Terrorism is not simply a catch-all term for unsanctioned violence.
Yeah, the Rebellion we are shown through its heroes are not terrorists, they are a guerilla army. They don't want to break the Empire through citizen revolt after sowing mass unrest; they make precision strikes on military infrastructure and assassinate critical Imperial officials.
Yeah but Luke Skywalker is white.
...that's all you need. :|
Cracker farm-boy Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy blond hair, blue eyes.
Oddly played by the polar opposite in Mark Hamill.
It hits different when you personally know stormtroopers.
Are you saying/implying they joined because they were forced to due to socio-economic hardships and very few joined because they supported fascism? Or was it the other way around?
Yes.
But that's different. Luke is white.
