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!!

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.

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

Was he particularly in a position to stop that?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago

Stopping him from getting murdered by the Saudis? Maybe.

Done something about it afterward? Definitely.

Yeah, all he did was help Palpatine build the Death Star, and it was Tarkin who actually gave the order. Do these anti-Vader people even understand what his role is as Sith Lord?

These single-issue voters who refuse to vote for Vader just because of the Aderaan issue are just helping Palpatine. Why does everyone suddenly care so much about Alderaan anyway?

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

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

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

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

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 13 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

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

In this analogy, did Princess Leia build the Death Star and blow up Alderaan? Ridiculous levels of whitewashing.
