If the death star is round then why are stormtroopers like this (shows stormtrooper) and not like this (shows curved stormtrooper)? Take that round death star-ers!

Best comment on this video lol

The why is it seen as round in the movies which are cannon

@@bibigamer502 cause they are lying

Thats what bounty hunters indeed are. Darth Vader is just giving job for these bounty hunters and Darth Vader said he will pay a lot for the bounty hunter who catches Millenium Falcon and brings them alive. So of course the bounty hunters listen then, when the empire itself has the most money in the entire galaxy, so they can pay you a lot, if you do what they want you to do. Empire can pay much more, than Jabba the Hutt could ever pay for these bounty hunters.

@@jout738 that don’t make it morally alright bro😂

@@jager-hill well what makes it morally wrong?

So it was morally okay that there was a slavery on Tatooine during Republic and they were just closing the eyes on it? Jabba didn't pay taxes, and everything about Jedi's is to serve for those corrupted monarchy retards, not noticing inconvenient stuff for politicians?

​@@jager-hillor wrong.

​@Homer He's not. That's literally how it is.

And let's not forget the slaughter on Corucant. Trillions of men and women of the Empire slaughtered.

Surprisingly in the expanded universe with the Republic history (it could be canon idk) Aldaraan was one of the old civilizations back of sleeper ships

she just remembered her stash, thats all.

​@Imperial Death Trooper DT-725 Speaking of things that don't make sense... Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense! Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

He did not die he only went unconscious !!!

Allison Priddy tell that to yourself, but it’s canon, he died.

well the jedi are a cult that recruits people through human trafficking so yeah

Ok let's be real. Anakin was a weak willed person, who let his attachments get the best of him. His mother. He killed all the sandpeople. And he probably liked that too. Then he fell in love and married, something Palpatine used to his advantage. "Only I can save the ones you love" and Anakin fell for it hook line and sinker. Now I won't deny the fear and anger. But with proper training, he would have been passed all that. But Anakin was weak willed and did what he wanted. Yoda lasted 900 years without attachments like wives, children or some other mortal trivial thing to interfere with his training.

@@chriswood1210yes and The empire f**king destroyed alderaan

@@chriswood1210but yoda didnt fully master the force. You must be able to balance to dark and the light. Thats what luke showed, you can have attachments and still be a Jedi. Having something to fight for makes you a better warrior

​@@emmawatzon ok and? That doesn't contribute anything. Jedi could've avoided lots of deaths and suffering when the Sith only lead to more

And he was right all along. Look what kind of people raised his kids! Both felt they are brother and sister and they still kissed each other like it is nothing. That brave little handicapped father is a hero for all of us.

Anakin/Vader really just wanted to take care of his family from day one. People tried to distance him from his wife and kids, and that was what brought on the darkness.

That disabled war veteran was Darth Vader.

Kaze Kaizaki that is rebel propaganda the Wookiee’s that are peaceful get to live in homes with their families only the rabid ones had to be controlled

Kaze Kaizaki, we’ve never seen an enslaved Wookie in any of the movies. The entire concept of Wookie enslavement is an expanded universe thing, not canon. In point of fact, the only slavery seen through the entire saga were droids and the on non-aligned world’s such as Tatooine and Jakku.

Scott Jefferson in Star Wars Rebels like one of the first episodes we saw Wookiee slaves

Nicole7073 that’s an expansion.

Not to mention, it was the Jedi who chose to leave her on Tatooine when they easily could've freed her, and several others if they really wanted to. The Jedi claim to be morally good. They claim to be loyal to The Republic as well. The Republic allegedly outlawed slavery. And yet, they constantly turn a blind eye to it. The only time the empire appears to use slave labor, however, is with the Wookies. The Wookies who can't speak and don't wear pants. Clearly, they aren't people, they're animals. The empire are the good guys, and the Jedi are not.

@@MasquedJustice i heard from another comment that the wookies were actually paid lol Idk tho, havent watched it yet. (Dont ask why, i never get the time)

According to the novelization, Shmi Skywalker did not want to leave Tatooine as she fell in love with Cliegg Lars, got her freedom and wanted Anakin to be away from her so that he can fulfill the destiny that the Jedi told her about. Padme tried to look for her at some point but couldn’t find her as Watto’s shop moved elsewhere and Shmi was living in the middle of nowhere. If she came to Coruscant, Palpatine would probably kill her to try and get Anakin to fall to the dark side.

@@MasquedJustice The Jedi follow the ways of the force. If the force wanted his Mom alive and off Tatooine, it would allow it

@@MingusDynastyy So what your saying the force is: Yo Homie Qui Gon lets free this child of slavery because Im sure he would make a good Jedi but leave his mother and several thousand other slaves to rot and be sold and eventually die

You get enough evil sheepherders in your force, they do rather tend to take over. You've seen through the Alliance disguise, which even Lucas didn't "foresee". Rey for new emperor (which is actually the old emperor possessing her)! Hail Rey! Even bad girls can turn good, thanks to our original emperor!

Considering what some rebel cells did, Lando is actually one of the most ethical guys in their roster

When I watched the movie. I didnt even much pay attention, when Han and Lando were made generals, but it seems the rebel alliance does not have bigger charchters for generals, so thats why they make Han and Lando generals, when their one of the biggest charchters in the rebel alliance. Han and Lando general role still didnt have much in it, than to be complete maniac with their millenium falcon.

Who did some things off screen in between, keep that in mind. He's clearly done a lot for the Rebellion and he had a whole city to worry about

He also saved Han from Jabba so he redeemed himself

@@edgaracajabon9522 idk maybe the Tuskin Raiders who are vicious and roam the planet. The Jawas could have been anyone but there was proof it was the empire.

@@GabrielSiberon07 Building the Death Star was an intimidation move. Destroying the Death Star caused more damage than destroying Alderaan in the grand scheme. Destroying alderaan, a planet full of terrorist sympathizers impacted only the lives of those from Alderaan.

@@cancerconnoisseur er, I can't tell if your joking or not, but if you aren't, well, the empire didn't have to destroy alderon. While yes, they did sympithise with the rebellion, it's not like the entire planet decided to declare war on the empire.

@@arnolfo2741 technicalities

@@definitelyarussianpaidtrol1406 Its not fair to say the Republic. It was more the Jedi who at the time were in control of Republic troops. And its because of events such as the Great Sith Purge, that the Jedi were turned away from military action for thousands of years by the Ruusan Reformation. The Republic didnt agree with the Jedi in having to murder off a species and causing war over what was seen as a religious dispute. In fact, the only reason it changed was because Palpatine manipulated people to start a war. But thats all old news. Point is, the Republic and the Jedi are separate entities that dont generally answer to each other unless in times of galactic war.

There were so many really cool interesting things to do with the new trilogy... What were they thinking with the mess they put out? A movie about this lore would be awesome with tons of room to shoot off, tons and tons of philosophical questions to explore.

WELL THEN YOU ARE LOST!! Memeing aside, the Jedi really did not have a good record before Palps came in.

Honestly, at least the Sith know what they're doing is wrong. Jedi basically were doing morally questionable things like taking babies, some of which turn to the dark side because of Jedi teaching failures, and refusing to learn from obvious mistakes. At the end of the day for Anakin, the Jedi and Sith are no different, one had the thing he wanted in his eyes, the other were being assholes to him, the choice was obvious.

The Jedi are a child kidnapping cult of sexless space magicians. They were seriously messed up. They only took children because they were easier to brainwash into never questioning the Jedi creed. The first time in ages they took someone old enough to know how the galaxy really works - Anakin - and he grew up to destroy them.

Seme they killd lot of pepole on the deth star for like no reson

From George Lucas' point of view the EMPIRE is the EVIL EMPIRE. Read the crawl.

Not to mention, it probably wouldn't even work, cause the vong ships don't have shields. The death star was made for simply scaring the galaxy into not messing with the wmpire

@@godzillakaijuboy Thrawn told Palpatine about the Yuuzhan Vong and he took the threat seriously. That being said the Death Star wasn't a "hiveship killer" as some like to claim. It was a terror weapon, some expanded information even claims it is intended to harness the dark side of the Force. Palpatine in expanded universe had plans for a truly dark side imbued empire down the line. His Dark Empire emerged and fought the galaxy after his rebirth (sounds familiar?). And it featured slews of examples of Sith sorcery. Thrawn hated the Death Star and considered it pointless which can tell you that from the point of fighting the Yuuzhan Vong it would not have been that viable. Imperial Remnant peeps just loved to come up with BS to justify how the Galactic Empire was right. To their credit the ISD-II was maybe designed with the Vong in mind, given how it fought them better than 20+ years younger capital ships.

The Death Star would do a Hiroshima on the Yuuzan Vong

Commander Buizel Bedwell wait, that shit was at the battle of Scariff... that means the rebels were taking civilians into combat with them ._.

Tbf, the novelizations had a blue Yoda so I'm not sure that's the best basis.

@Vice Admiral Buizel Bedwell A compelling argument Jim Huss ENT and also Vice Admiral Buizel Bedwell but there is something to consider. 1: While the Galactic Empire is indeed a government on intent seeks to bring peace and order to the galaxy? It discriminates non humans. In essence the Galactic Empire is really nothing more than the Third Reich, and while they too were a government, genocidal cleansing of those they deemed as, "non pure" meant ghettos, concentration camps, and finally gas chambers. Even until this day this argument is a core argument that we find very common about atrocities in human rights. So if we are to take this into account? Is the Empire good? Because aliens that are not human in this case? With the exception of Thrawn are indeed inferior leaving other regions like the Outer Rim Territories to become the new slums leaving the Core Worlds to just human? Yeah....frankly another example exist today between the rich living lap of luxury and the poor forced to suffer in the regions beyond cities..... North Korea. So in turn I hate to say it but yeah.....Suck it..... 2: WMDs to keep the "populace" in line. Again WMDs could be considered a means of fear to bring about order. Sure the Atomic Bomb ended WWII? But THAT same counter argument incited ALSO a Cold War between the United States of America, and also the Soviet Union. A "Cold War" that on more than one occasion could have become both hot, and meant the death of lives and various civilization. In turn fear as a means of control is NEVER the best example and like any fear means eventually "apthathy" toward the oppressor. Again gas on Jews in the Holocaust? Gas used on Kurds? Chemical weapons used in Syria? You call those good examples? Negative on that argument. Hate again only breeds hate, or anguish, in that case war, and in time could be good? Or worse than the power already in line. If atrocities were allowed not only would the galaxy in the Star Wars Universe reach a Dark Age..... Oh wait, LOLZ, it is in the middle of a Dark Age...... THE MOTHER FUCKING DARK AGE OF THE SITH, OMFG FUCKIING BRILLIANT! SUCK IT! 3: The Empire Was Never A Monarchy But Self Proclaimed Leadership Manipulated By Propaganda Again I hear this a lot as for those that support the Empire, and sure yeah the Tantive IV might be an Imperial Ship? Oh wait it was a Diplomatic Ship of the Aderaanian Government! FUCKING BRILLIANT! See this is what you have to look at here, the Tantive IV was a ship from Alderaan, in other words a ship of the "State" this argument is pretty much debunked by definition if you will the Empire would be considered as "Federal or Higher Central Power" and Alderaan being "State, City State, or Providence". Now depending on the fact if Alderaaan is considered to be allowed autonomous is one thing or another. But IF SO; well then this is more of an argument of jurisdiction. Sure the Empire MIGHT have been collecting data back stolen on oh a Corvette "owned" by Alderaan? AND the Empire DOES have control of the galaxy? BUT! The thing to look at here the Tantive IV was pursued technically in "International Space" or in this case one Tattooine. Which MEANS the Outer Rim Territories are considered more really as a region "outside" the control of the Empire and ALSO contested and yes this is canon by the "Hutts". So in other words yes while the droids, the data were on an Alderaanian Corvette? Not saying it isn't Corelllian Corvette, but YES none the less a Corvette from "Alderaan". Thus in turn the Emperor could bitch all he wants and use force to seize it? But again he would be in political terms breaking "International Space" seizing a Corvette in space he does not own! So again to do this what does he do? He takes over Tattooine? To bring peace and order to the Empire? So already a Corvette shot over a planet he does not own? Violates jurisdiction, out of fit Vader captures or destroys those on board, okay genocide if you will. Then after that to make an example brings Leia to the bridge of Palpatine's and the Empire's Big Ball to Jizzmak all over Alderaan..... Oh excuse me.......destroy lives on Alderaan. So we have already in this lets look at it this way. A: Pursuing a vessel in International or Intergalactic Space. B: Invading or Forced Entry on a ship outside of it's jurisdiction. C: Maybe genocide to hide the events. D: Invasion of a planet to find droids. Uh yeah......sure their good I know someone else that did the same thing! Naepolian, and Hitler, OMFG THAT'S FUCKING BRILLIANT! So already an "Empire" committed violations already on an Intergalactic scale to justify itself would be considered laughable. But I digress.....LETS SHIT FEST ABOUT THE EMPIRE'S CLAIM TO POWER! >:D First what do we have, an invasion of Naboo. Jedi sent, and yeah shit goes wrong. To justify things Sidious, "not in power" sends an assassin oh I'm sorry "apprentice" to keep the Trade Federation in line, kill the jedi with Padame who is queen at this time. Wow opposition going to kill a noble through assassination. That's ALSO a form of treason. DUH! After that manipulates events through kickstarting a civil war in II, followed by manipulate an individual through political intrigue to become his apprentice, AFTER he manipulated events to come into power as "Chancellor". Finally in turn after winning the war, turn and kill a peace keeping force sworn to protect the republic. Manipulate it's Senate, proclaim himself Emperor as ruler for life, and only in the end institute "absolute power" not even through "divine right" unless you consider the Sith, a thank you very much! Yeah now when there is a rebellion? He's doing the right thing? Yeah two words, Adolph Hitler. Ring a bell? So there you go as Padme says it, "So this is how Liberty dies, with thunderous applause." Link below..... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cp069Y_P-9M.html So allow me to counteract that now. First as a RU-vidr I declare my divine youtube right to speak.... Put my barrel in your mouth and suck it! >:D After that I justify it by saying that divine right allowed me and not a damn thing you can do about it. >:P After that no only do I do that?

Also, they orbitally bombarded multiple planets during the Yuzhan Vong war, even planets that weren't controlled by the Vong. If anything, the Rebels are just as worst when it comes to war crimes. Though, when it comes to ideals, the rebellion is miles better than the Empire. I'd rather live in a democratic galaxy than an authoritarian one.

@@johnnieblades Well they did destroy artificial planet... Shit ton of lost lives. As original comment said, neither are entirely good, nor entirely bad. They are equal. Rooting is your personal choice.

A group of children? What about the millions that die that died on the Death Star, a weapon used for peace keeping. How many useful technologies and resources were destroyed by the terrorist rebels and cultist Jedi!

Meme Benedict well, then maybe both sides are evil. My point was how can you say nothing is wrong with the dark side (not the empire. They are ok) after murdering Jedi and children who knits wanted peace.

Grayson Kirkpatrick DEATH TO THE JEDI SCUM, ORDER 66 WAS A NEEDED PROTOCOL

@@binderstonkeyes7172 uh what about the planet with MORE PEOPLE AND KIDS. And dont even try to defend them by sayong that was the only way to stop them.

@@gabrielguzman9646 Are you Dick Cheney or Donald Rumsfeld?

Honestly I hate it when movies make me like the villain more than the main characters, but then obviously the good guys have to win

@@ralphbentley5499 He's Gabriel Guzman

@@Ezper-2099 What was his position in W's cabinet?

NazBol Galactic Empire Gang Gang

And that one guy from the Mandalorian: “Millions of people died on that station, as the galaxy cheered”

he became undefeatable...so your wrong

Chicken Corn Well I suppose you're right, cuz you sure can't defeat a dead man... ;)

Chicken Corn On second thought, he never did really do anything, so I'm actually correct despite only saying it as a smart ass comment

yeah good point he did kinda make vader....

*you're Dummy!

And the beatings will continue until morale improves. ;)

Marxists run the media ! I think everyone knows that by now, "white man bad" ring any bells ?

Oh is that another word of fox news?

Jim Huss ENT man, thanks! First time I got a heart on a commentary

Jim Huss ENT thanks!

He right tho

Core ideas the empire is based on equal it can not be anything but evil . The emperor owns everything and everyone and can without or with reason do anything to anyone . The core idea that by any means necessary to further the empire means morality can not matter and only exist as abstract. Destroy entire planet with billions of beings as nothing more then way test fire weapon when any of the billions of uninhabited planets would work . Killing of all jedi children because risk they may become list goes on and on show why is zero way for empire based on the core ideas shown in films or books to be good or even benign.

Nothing was ignored, rewatch the video. It was clearly stated that only the original trilogy was going to be cited.

While the prequels and such came out far later, the movies were never supposed to be looked at in a vacuum so it's hard to separate things from just the original trilogy standpoint

This video is satire

well, it doesn't. it's a satire. At the begging of eps IV, the empire makes a genocide in Tatooine, including killing innocent sand people and the uncle and aunt of Luke, completely unnecessary, the destruction of Leia's planet was just a test (in a populated area) and a scare tactic of torture to obtain information of a prisoner, which isn't compared to the destruction of death star because the death star was a military station, and if isn't enough, was a weapon itself, that had destroyed an entire planet without a good motive. their plans were to rule the galaxy through fear, when they go down the entire galaxy commemorate, which is a good indicator of how people feel about them... why do you think there were rebels in the first place?
