    Not at all IMO, the Sith simply took advantage of the evil inherent in the system. That’s part of why the Jedi were so blind to it.

          You have no idea how many people don’t understand that. Even if you tell them, they don’t get it.

          (“You have no idea” is used as an intensifier here. I don’t know what you know. I’m neurodivergent and feel the need to clarify)

            I legitimately saw someone say that they heard Star Wars was inspired by the Vietnam War, then said the fucking Empire represented the Viet Cong and Communism.

            Some people legitimately can’t analyze anything to save their lives.

              Well, I mean, they probably can, but team sports, ya know. We all do it, make bad things about the “other” and good things about “us”. Just, not realizing that the people you stand with can do “bad”, cause all humans are capable of doing “bad”.

      You’re right of course. I phrased that poorly and meant my interpretation of the meme, not the movies.

      Lucas seems to grasp for that interpretation, but he’s not politically savvy enough or a good enough writer to pull it off. Clone Wars fixes it.
