Leia made ableist remarks about a storm trooper once. Both sides are the same!
Plus, as a member of the Imperial Senate, she's obviously part of The Swamp that must be drained.
(I also hear she emigrated to Alderaan illegally.)
Why do you support terrorists?
The Empire has a right to defend itself
Those Rebel Terrorists were using human shields
The ones responsible for the destruction of Alderaan were those Rebel Terrorists, we gave a very humane 30 minute evacuation warning after all
The rebels destroyed Alderaan with their own superweapon they had been developing underground. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.
OK, the Death Star did fire on Alderaan, but it was a targeted, focused strike that hit a rebel facility which caused their superweapon to explode and destroy the planet, the Empire had no idea that would happen. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.
OK, the Death Star did destroy the planet, but the rebels were still developing a superweapon and even more people would've died otherwise. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.
OK, the rebels weren't developing a superweapon on Alderaan, but the destruction of the planet were the actions of a rogue moff acting without approval. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.
OK, the Emperor's right hand man was in the room when it was decided, but Emperor Palpatine has invited every surviving Alderaanian to his own private resort world, and they're also rebuilding with a new colony on Ejolus. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.
OK, the colony on Ejolus has been wiped out, but they were harboring rebels. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.
I know Vader choked the life out of the last person who questioned him, but I haven't seen Leia do enough challenging media interviews.
Spicy thread and I’m just going to go get my popcorn
No, you must participate! You're the reason this country is falling apart!!
'Princess' establishment chosen Lyin' Leiyah is clearly just trying to turn the empire back into the corrupt old Republic and force everyone to accept all aliens including the despicable Gran who don't deserve rights because they don't look or act like me. I heard she was even there when Alderaan was destroyed and did nothing.
Ho ho!
Hey hey!
What planet did Leia blow up today?
Death Stars don't kill people. Traitors who won't give up the location of the secret Rebel base kill people.
Vader's death Star may be pointing right at Yavin 4, but Leia doesn't want to support the rights of Yavin 4 natives so they're the same
Vader's spokesman said there was a floating planet of trash floating in space called Tatooine
She kissed her brother once and her father is a known criminal, open your eyes sheeple
More POC death star operators!
More female storm troopers!
What are her policies?
Vader didn't blow up a planet. He didn't stop it from getting blown up but he was more of an accessory to it.
Yeah, all he did was help Palpatine build the Death Star, and it was Tarkin who actually gave the order. Do these anti-Vader people even understand what his role is as Sith Lord?
These single-issue voters who refuse to vote for Vader just because of the Aderaan issue are just helping Palpatine. Why does everyone suddenly care so much about Alderaan anyway?
No, Elon Musk is Leia and Trump is Han Solo. I'll link you the fan fic.
That's okay. You really don't have to go to the trouble. You really don't have to.
I think you're going to like the part about Luke and Leia's kiss though. I'm not going to spoil it though, ok I can't help myself
spoiler
Rudy Giuliani is Luke
Is that the one where “Han” “upgrades” the Falcon to a Cybertruck because it “totally has more storage, bro!”
I'm just here imagining Luke getting his hand chopped off by the cybertruck power trunk mechanism instead of by Vader.
Yeah, what's her specific plan to tackle the issues that people care about?
She has a concept of a rebellion
Haha, I can't up vote this enough.
That's what rebellions are built on! Or was that rebelling... Nope, it was hope. Almost forgot
Brilliant
I'm pretty sure that the Death Star is just a big expensive toy, and the force doesn't exist.
My parents wouldn't buy it for me!
Okay, it was probably the most expensive playset Kenner made, but is that an excuse I ask you?!
Edit: Well shit, the retail price was $17.99. What the fuck, mom and dad?
Leia said she will be a dictator on day one. She will be worsr than Vader. The choice is obvious.
In this analogy, did Princess Leia build the Death Star and blow up Alderaan? Ridiculous levels of whitewashing.
You forgot to mention Leia is still going to blow up the
palestiniansrebels, but at least the people in Coruscant will be doing great.Did Leia keep claiming she wants the most lethal military in the galaxy too?
She was a leading figure in a paramilitary organisation, both before and after the death of the emperor. So, maybe?
Your options are The Trade Federation or the Old Republic.
Count Dooku or Senator Palpatine
And stop asking what happened to all those Younglings. The Trade Federation would kill far more Jedi if they were in power.
I know this isn't the point, but The Trade Federation were a Neimoidian megacorporation that was a member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, which Count Dooku founded.
Comparing Kamala to either is unhinged
I agree that making real life comparisons to fantasy characters can quickly become silly.
Honestly if you took it at face value i.e. Dooku was not Darth Tyranus and actually believed in the CIS cause, it wouldn't seem like that bad an option.
Wasnt dooku a sith? Thus was working for palpatine and the whole war was a plot to undermine the old republic to create an empire that palpatine directly controlled.
Yup
more like pre-palpatine republic vs empire.
A big theme of the Prequel Series (and a reason for its insurgent popularity) stems from the strong anti-war themes.
The Old Republic became the Empire as it was consumed by the mass militarization of its greedy, self-righteous, and power hungry elites.
The Jedi fell into Palpatine's trap when they surrounded themselves with Space Cops, foolishly believing endless escalation made them safer.
I must have missed the part of the movie where Leia devotes a significant amount of her planets resources to building the deathstar while her constituents screamed for her to stop
Evidently you did, because it's mentioned that she was a member of the Imperial Senate right up till it was dissolved. She participated directly in the government that built a weapon of mass destruction and used it to commit a genocidal act of state terrorism. Thankfully, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, they never invented purity testing so people like you weren't wrenching their spines in an effort to suck their own dicks about it.
Clearly, the solution is to vote in the Imperial Senate if you want to affect change.
Unless you're trying to say Kamala Harris is secretly working for Hamas or something?
I see that you understand that, much like a vice president, that is something someone with the powers of a princess can do.
