The truth... - Lemmy.World

I actually have met a concerning number of people who idolize The Empire in the original Star Wars trilogy. The one who was always loudest about it willingly moved to Florida recently and is turning sadly right wing. He used to be a super smart punk rocker, too.

That’s strange since the movies don’t really try to give The Empire any redeeming values. It’s pretty literally and figuratively black and white.

But The Empire has a better costume department. …Man I guess I’m in.

Better costumes, better toys, no restrictions on the use of force power (can choke out anyone you like).

Let’s face it, Darth Vader is one of the coolest villains of all time. Tons and tons of kids who grew up on Star Wars fantasized about being powerful like him and choking out their enemies in the schoolyard.
