    If blowing up a planet is not evil in your book, then you probably need a new book.
    Does a death star count

    Because that’s dumb....and you just became the guy that tries to “figure out” multiple user accounts. Which has been going on in this site for 12 years and every time it happens, that person looks desperate, obsessive, and just plain silly.

    They'd think they're next.

    I dont get your argument.
    Why? When you hear of a bombing on the news, do you think you're next?

    Do I think a person is irredeemable if they kill another person? No. Get your scale correct. In a continuity where there are trillions of people on millions of planets, destroying one isn't a big deal. , at that scale, they probably lose some to novas and gamma bursts. Living in the US isn't horrible despite the government dropping two WMDs on another location (and doing significantly more damage through traditional bombing). Our government has done horrible things that when put to scale are worse than the SW empire destroying a planet. You can think it's wrong all you want (because it is), but the point still stands that it doesn't define life under the US government.

    brushing off destruction of a planet "because there are more planets" is laughable

    you say a person is not irredeemable if they kill another person. is your rationale for that really that "there are a lot more people?"

    I'm not brushing it off. I am being realistic. It wouldn't be worse than Hiroshima or Nagasaki, no matter how many times you avoid that idea. It doesn't stop being wrong just because there are more planets; it just stops being something worth starting a major rebellion for.

    That's a poor way of looking at it. I think killing more than one person makes someone less redeemable. A guy who kills a building worth of people is pretty much irredeemable. In that same way, we looked past the US bombing the Japanese cites and are looking past drone strikes right now. Those things are comparatively worse than destroying a planet. And , I don't think there's a guarantee that if the US were all the sudden a galactic power than they wouldn't destroy dozens of planets a year in the name or homesector security.

    No, of course not.

    But then again, we're not living under the threat of an authoritarian empire who has the capability to nuke planets at their whim.

    Saw it again this weekend at a more reasonable hour and honestly a lot of what bugged me the first time made more sense this time, particularly Luke's character. He basically implies that the Luke Skywalker Legend is more myth than true, and I think that's a message for superfans who have turned him into some kind of immortal god-figure despite his weaknesses and character flaws in the original trilogy.

    Probably still some plot holes to nitpick, but that can be said about any of the 9 films to this point. Like Skywalker, the original films have achieved such a scriptural status that it's hard for people to see their flaws.

    TLJ is either the 2nd or 3rd best SW movie IMO.

    Yes, and outside of R1 and BF2, no one in the Empire or FO did either. The Rebels did, but that's because they were rebelling. It's not like the Empire was going around destroying planets so they could build a highway or something.

    A lot of countries feel that way about Murica I’m sure.

    Indeed, but random American folks will do little more than comment on it while going about their day. There's no huge revolution or something. The idea that a random dude in an Empire world gives a about whatever planet the Empire destroyed is unrealistic. Most people simply don't care about something that requires them to look that far out of themselves.

    So would you be a rebel if dropped into the SW universe (without the foreknowledge that the Empire would fall)? I think you'd be on SpaceTalk commenting on a random movie thread instead of trying to take down the government, and that's if you even that such and such planet was destroyed. I think the folks who would be most upset are the ecologists.

    So if I’m not in the military my takes on this don’t matter? That’s very DMC if you

    I think the problem I have is that there's not enough oppressiveness on the part of the Order for me to really root for them to fall.

    A bit of Nazi style concentration camp might have helped
