Hunger Games is about revolutionary anti-imperial class struggle

George Lucas said the Empire is inspired by America and the Rebels by the Viet Minh

The Matrix was created by a trans woman and at least partly an allegory for being trans

Divergent is shitty lib fanfiction but very obviously anti-conservative

Alan Moore was a communist or anarchist

wow these movies are just like January 6th when we resisted communism by smearing our shit on the capitol walls!! so-true biaoqing-copium

    And yet, some of the worst Empireheads are the old EU nerds

    They point at Grand Admiral Thrawn just like all the Wehraboos who idolize Rommel

    And guys, I don’t think being a fan of the “brilliant tactical mind who fights for their empire despite disagreeing with it ideologically” trope makes a difference

      just like Rommel’s ‘disagreement’ with the Nazis is overwrought and superficial; Thrawn was still a fascist, just less racist by virtue of being a Blue Guy

        With Zahn seemed to know on some level in HTTE, and then shifted from by the end of the trilogy, and by the time Hand of Thrawn comes out he is rehabilitating his precious Thrawn.
