Episodes I - III are about how liberalism falls to fascism. The Clone Wars is about exploring if the liberal republic was worth saving.

episodes IV - VI is about success about successful armed rebellion against a fascist regime

but episodes VII - VIII we see that liberalism was not able to provide strong enough promise to inspire people. society quickly returns to fascism again and the liberal republic has lost support from the masses. but people still want change. but what?

@shel points 2 bright red rebel logo
mothafuckin space socialism
@shel honestly tho disney's rebranding of the rebel logo as gold/orange is Not that subtle when its original 70s canon was red as FUCK. i mean luke was red 5 at the battle of yavin but the logo itself remained iconically red (or black/white) til disney's recent acquisition

@shel another reason for disney to rebrand it as orange is bc it calls back to the 70s, the original trilogy, etc but

i mean
rebranding it as orange/gold Did make it Much More Merchandisable. legit i would have & did buy anything w the logo i could find in the 90s but almost None existed bc. red.

now im rollin in rebel logo its great

@hi_cial i think it is still red in the new stuff? but only sometimes? the old republic's logo i guess is blue sometimes? but in the clone wars we see both the old republic logo and the new one sometime sin various colors??? idek
@shel oh yeah no they didnt Retire the red. usually you see it on black backgrounds tho for that edgelord teen color combo classic
@shel i say, wearing a black and red rebel logo hoodie right now
@hi_cial my main point is that the name of the rebellion is formally The Alliance To Restore the Republic which issss regressive liberalism. They need to stop looking back and start looking forward. People have lost faith in Restoring the Republic; they want to restablish a new, better system

@shel YOURE RIGHT im just wondering if the Real Rebellion didnt wanna be socialists All The Long.

admititly i will project this headcanon any way i can

@hi_cial i also kinda think some it is applicable to like..... communist tactics post-ussr? like you can't make all your rhetoric be about restoring the USSR or trying to justify and make them seem good cuz it was a society that employed gulags and was highly corrupt and had a dictator. you need to create and NEW vision for a communism or socialism without that stuff
