    No one in the US are the rebels my guy. You are thinking of the Viet Minh or the Sandanistas, or the MNC. The rebels did not come from the imperial core of Coruscant, the came from the various peripheries it dominated.

      George Lucas is on video stating that the Viet Cong are the direct Inspiration for the rebellion. Which doesn’t conflict with the meme I made telling people that the US is the Empire and Trump is a Villian. Here, I made different one months ago

        I assumed your meme was referring to trump derangement syndrome which is a label typically applied to democrats. Implying that democrats offer a resistance to the empire.

          Trump derangement syndrome is a label applied to anyone who has a problem with what a total piece of useless shit that Trump is. Sometimes this is Democrats. Sometimes it’s Anarchists or Socialist or even some Conservatives.

          The whole series is about fighting fascism. In this episode, Imperial propaganda against the peaceful Gorman has reached a fever pitch because the Empire wants to massacre their people and mine their planet without outrage. An Imperial sniper shoots his own troops to start a riot and justify the slaughter.
