    God damn. I love Star Wars, but why is Star Wars almost a documentary these days? Between this, Obi-Wan’s speech about the fall of the temple, and the events of Attack of the Clones…we just don’t have spaceships.

      Watching the prequels in the current year made me appreciate just a little bit how… so forward thinking they were. Emperor Palatine didn’t become an emperor overnights, you see, he was made into a Chancellor democratically and then he just… played chess against himself to eventually become Emperor.

      Granted the modern breed of fash spreading all over the world aren’t that horrifically smart, but it’s true.

      This is how liberty dies!
