The Empire Was Right in Star Wars (satirical propaganda of the highest order..like MSM defending the Admin)

The video is done in fun to show both how propaganda can be used to spin anything and that there are some plot holes in Star Wars. Rebuttal and sequel videos are being planned, so feel free to leave a comment and I may discuss it in long form.

For over four decades, there has been debate on who the true villains and heroes of the Star Wars Saga are. With over 30 minutes of content and discussion, I feel that a fair argument can be made in favor of The Empire.

I am not implying that the empire, sith, or their associates are perfectly good and I am not saying the jedi, rebels, or their associates are purely evil. But each side sits squarely on a spectrum. With the empire leaning towards the morally justified side and and the rebels and jedi leaning more towards war mongering blood thirsty side.

And yeah, I get it, they are films. They play at our emotions. Logic isn't exactly what they are about. But if you look at things with a little less emotion, a little bit more logic, and a tiny spoonful of real world events, you see it. You see it pretty clearly.

Excellent propaganda...it sounds like the MSM defending this Administration and attacking normal Americans. For example:

First and foremost, I am going to start with an obvious point. What makes the Jedi so good?

They may call themselves the peacekeepers of the galaxy, but they are quite violent. In a new hope, Obi wan makes the first blow against vader. And in the phantom menace, Palpatine tells Darth maul not to attack first, and wouldn't you know, when he encounters obi wan and qui gon, obi wan attacks him first. Just for the sake of comparison, Darth maul even goes out of his way to avoid making contact during portions of this same fight. ...

But looking at the jedi, on their own. I am at a loss for what is so righteous about them. At best they are part of the republic's military, but then they are only as good as the republic. At worst, they are a cult that brainwashes children at a very young age, as even Anakin skywalker was initially too old for the jedi. I am all for people finding peace through religion, but the jedi play it a bit fast and loose with their timing. look no further than obi wan taking advantage of luke wanting to know his father{a new hope} and then catapulting off the untimely death of his Aunt and uncle{a new hope}. this is quite the predatory.

The Empire was a meritocracy and also banned slavery. The Jedi, especially after Lucas brought in midiclorians was a hereditary dynasty. In the Empire you could advance through competence. In the “Republic” if you didn’t have enough midiclorians you were forever a second class member. The Jedi tolerated slavery. They never even bothered to free Anakin’s mother fer crissakes.

I wasn’t under the impression that the Death Star, that was used to blow up a planet full of innocent people just to get Leah to talk, was just a space station, as if they were just all minding their own business until the bad old Jedi came along and killed them needlessly.
