Funny how people act like it's so shocking and awful when poor people in faraway countries turn to terrorism just because an occupying army destroyed their homes and killed their family, but when they watch Star Wars they still recognize that Luke Skywalker is the good guy

I mean you can literally see Luke go from "But I just wanted to go to Toshe Station to pick up some power converters" to "I'm going to kill every Imperial I see" in the space of about five seconds -- you think that same thing doesn't happen every single day in the real world?

The Empire explicitly portrayed the Rebellion as terrorists, as seen in this in-universe propaganda poster

Some folks trying to argue semantics like "But Luke never killed civilians!" as if the terms "terrorist" and "guerrilla insurgency" aren't used interchangeably.

You don't think there were any civilians on the Death Star?

You think everyone on Jabba's sail barge deserved to die?

The funniest thing about this ham-handed attempt at antisemitic trolling is that I was *specifically* thinking about Palestine when I started this thread 😂
