Leia made ableist remarks about a storm trooper once. Both sides are the same!

Plus, as a member of the Imperial Senate, she's obviously part of The Swamp that must be drained.

(I also hear she emigrated to Alderaan illegally.)

Also, look at her counsel. My brother's wife's hairdresser's mechanic said that there's very big questions about where Chewbacca's from. He hasn't even released his birth certificate!

Plus, he's, you know... one of them.

Why do you support terrorists?

The Empire has a right to defend itself

Those Rebel Terrorists were using human shields

The ones responsible for the destruction of Alderaan were those Rebel Terrorists, we gave a very humane 30 minute evacuation warning after all

The rebels destroyed Alderaan with their own superweapon they had been developing underground. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

OK, the Death Star did fire on Alderaan, but it was a targeted, focused strike that hit a rebel facility which caused their superweapon to explode and destroy the planet, the Empire had no idea that would happen. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

OK, the Death Star did destroy the planet, but the rebels were still developing a superweapon and even more people would've died otherwise. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

OK, the rebels weren't developing a superweapon on Alderaan, but the destruction of the planet were the actions of a rogue moff acting without approval. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

OK, the Emperor's right hand man was in the room when it was decided, but Emperor Palpatine has invited every surviving Alderaanian to his own private resort world, and they're also rebuilding with a new colony on Ejolus. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

OK, the colony on Ejolus has been wiped out, but they were harboring rebels. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

I know Vader choked the life out of the last person who questioned him, but I haven't seen Leia do enough challenging media interviews.

Spicy thread and I’m just going to go get my popcorn

No, you must participate! You're the reason this country is falling apart!!

'Princess' establishment chosen Lyin' Leiyah is clearly just trying to turn the empire back into the corrupt old Republic and force everyone to accept all aliens including the despicable Gran who don't deserve rights because they don't look or act like me. I heard she was even there when Alderaan was destroyed and did nothing.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

Ho ho!
Hey hey!
What planet did Leia blow up today?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 31 points 3 weeks ago

Death Stars don't kill people. Traitors who won't give up the location of the secret Rebel base kill people.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago

Vader's death Star may be pointing right at Yavin 4, but Leia doesn't want to support the rights of Yavin 4 natives so they're the same

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago

Vader's spokesman said there was a floating planet of trash floating in space called Tatooine

She kissed her brother once and her father is a known criminal, open your eyes sheeple

More POC death star operators!

What are her policies?

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 weeks ago (9 children)

Vader didn't blow up a planet. He didn't stop it from getting blown up but he was more of an accessory to it.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 36 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Trump didn't stop Jamal Kashoggi from getting murdered with a meat saw, so I guess they're similar that way.

No, Elon Musk is Leia and Trump is Han Solo. I'll link you the fan fic.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's okay. You really don't have to go to the trouble. You really don't have to.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I think you're going to like the part about Luke and Leia's kiss though. I'm not going to spoil it though, ok I can't help myself

spoilerRudy Giuliani is Luke

[–] JaymesRS 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Is that the one where “Han” “upgrades” the Falcon to a Cybertruck because it “totally has more storage, bro!”

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I'm just here imagining Luke getting his hand chopped off by the cybertruck power trunk mechanism instead of by Vader.
