Gazebo/Hangman 2036

Quick, someone good with photoshop make a graphic saying "Abby Gazebo is All Elite".

The people want pipe-related content. You're a man of the people.

I mean, you're outlining in detail the exact reasons it's inherently political.

If not everyone at the Academy is evil, but they're constrained by the system of government under which they live, how is that apolitical? It's a moral grey area that immediately introduces politics.

So, in the first act of the first movie, when Luke talks about wanting to join the Imperial Academy, he's just...deciding between good and evil?

There's no wider political context to that? No complexity? Just "Luke almost decided to be evil but didn't"?

Exactly. The first line of the opening crawl is "It is a period of civil war."

Yep,nothing political about that, just a good old fashioned civil war between 'good and evil'.

I agree with you on most things, but this is just inaccurate.

The entire premise of Star Wars is based on the Vietnam War. Lucas has said so.

It is very explicitly about the overthrow of a tyrannical Empire by a Rebellion.

From the very first scene, it is and has always been political.

400+ hours in that game and I never clocked this.

Now I need to play it yet again.
