Darth Vader didn’t blow up Alderaan, it was Tarkin who gave the order. That said, Vader isn’t a good comparison as he is Lawful Evil, but still has good in him. The options we have to vote for this election are Tarkin or Jabba the Hutt but uglier. One is obviously worse.

The Empire was right, though. Rebels are terrorists, dude.

Empire ended wars that have been going on forever, got rid of seriously corrupted religious private group that had power over every aspect of the republic, and Palpatine was voted into power by several democratic layers.

Analkin was an abused slave his whole life & had enough of that bullshit. Basically only made one big free decision in his whole life (and even that was (attempted) murder of some geriatric head of state).

Luke was guided into de facto terrorism by the powerless remnants of previous elites that wanted to get back into power (and ultimately kinda did).

The propaganda how a religious group A is good but religious group B is bad is just insane - they both do the same shady bullshit, kidnap kids, manipulate leaders, kill without consequences, etc.
Its just that the Jedi were historically victorious over Sith (or at least had their golden age chronologically after the Sith had theirs) so they wrote the (re)public opinion on Sith.

They destroyed a planet that attacked the Empire, much like nuclear bombs, that was a deterrent that kept other planets from joining the same power-grab AllTheWrong planet/monarchy was supporting and prolonging the war.

Republic would have enslaved & bombarded the shit out of it, then had years of ground assault campaigns - that is so much more financially lucrative.

How else could they test a weapon capable of destroying planets? That act was part of a scientific research!

That was clearly a mining accident. Don’t let jedi propaganda fool you.

Yeah. I don’t see why I should vote for “Endor” Skywalker.

Drag isn’t going to vote in the election because both sides are the same. Princess Leia called a wookie a carpet, which makes her just as bad as the Emperor.

lUkE sHoUlD eArN mY vOtE!!! You won’t shame me into voting for him! I don’t care if Vader wins - not my fault! Lalalalala not listening! Down with the duopoly! We will just become ungovernable! Anyone else here voting for Lando?

There did I hit all the points? U••••••••M••• or L•••••B••• want to chime in and let me know if I missed anything?

The proper analogy to this election would be if Luke and Vader both had death stars, both had blown up a planet, but Luke’s campaign promise was that he’ll blow up fewer planets than Vader will.

Luke Skywalker owns droid slaves. He’s just as bad as Darth Vader.
