    If you would just learn history, you’d know that Alderaanian culture is a lie invented by Jedi extremists. There was never an Alderaanian identity before 0BBY, their so-called ‘Alderaan’ was simply an uninhabited rock used before it was used for weapons calibration testing by the Elbit Star. Rebels just started claiming to be from Khalderaan to push the anti-Nabooist conspiracy theories circulating around Palpatine.

    somebody should make a starswar that’s the events of first three movies from the perspective of empire liberal media, maybe that would punch through the illiteracy.

        Rebels does, as did the Imperial campaign in the Rogue Squadron game. One of the characters is someone who unironicall supports the empire but wants to restore senatorial power, like the “Moderate” republican to Mon Mothma’s shitlib.

        Its implied she’s even more of a moral void than the outright fascists who at least openly want and revel in war and bloodshed.

        Rebels has things like Empire Day where there are parades etc and you see the average Imperial’s apathy.

        And andor has incel guy mall cop as a main character who buys the kool aid, of course

          There was also the shitty battlefront 2 story mode where you play as a stormtrooper special ops lady for like 3 missions before realising that committing genocide is bad when you’re told to do it to humans so defect to the rebels

        Not quite what you’re looking for, but I remember in that Han Solo movie that I saw a few years ago, that I reacted to how the Empire’s recruitment efforts used a major key version of the Imperial March.

          I love that we now have two diagetic “heroic” Imperial Marches which both do their own spin. There is the major key Solo one and the Rebels empire day one

      If you haven’t seen it, Troops is a classic Star Wars fan work (pre-prequels!) that tells the story of A New Hope from the point of view of the Stormtroopers, in the form of a Cops-like reality TV episode. (CW: contains comedic depictions of police violence)

      Either it’s going to be serious like Nightcrawler and people think the guy hustling and spreading misinformation is based, or it’s going to be some comedy like The Office and people forget that they’re all cogs in the machine and it’s not supposed to be fun and wholesome.

    r.starwarsleftymemes is a social fascist cesspool that cries about how redfash anyone to the right of Nixon was. they are beyond pathetic.
