always has been the empire

I love this meme with stormtroopers, because instead of the guy in front being about to die he's in the safest possible place.
There was a bit of fan-lore I read a while back that the stormtroopers intentionally missed because Vader didn't want them to kill his kids.. really its because it would make for bad cinema if the NPCs killed the main characters 30 seconds into their first scenes...

No. It's literally just space Nazi's.
Guys... There are STORMTROOPERS in the Empire. It's not subtle lol.
NO! THEY are the space nazis!
Space nazis of the US empire.
Just like Starship troopers are space nazis of the US empire to it's filmmaker.Now excuse me while I cut off your hand.

what do you think etcetera at lemmy dot ml might think about the subject?
Why would you think .ml users would be uncritical to China? We just like our western imperialism balanced by eastern imperialism, thank you.
Perfectly balanced. As all things should be. To much to one side... or the other...

Sorry, it's pretty clearly stated in this interview by Lucas.

It wasn't because of his kids, but as later explained (in expanded material) the Millenium Falcon had a tracking device installed soon after it was detained.
Otherwise, consider that the Death Star could've blown the freighter out of the sky the moment it exited the hanger with its thousands of Point Defenses.

The comparisons to Nazi Germany were deliberate, as the Nazis were inspired by the US Empire. Lucas himself said it was a metaphor for the Vietnam war.

And what exactly is the difference between Western imperialism and other kinds of imperialism?
There really isn't anything comparable to western imperialism, and western imperialism is the single largest barrier to human progress around the world. What is it with whataboutism?

Hot take:
The Galactic Empire is portrayed as bad mainly due to it's execution of power. The Empire's ideals of order and stability don't actually seem so bad in theory. Even the Mandolorian spin-off show supports this perspective.
