Why do people have such a hard on for being space fascists? Star Wars has the most basic good vs evil plot out there but people keep pretending there's some kind of nuance on the team that semi-regularly blows up planets.

          You know about any good Jacen/Caedus fanfics? Always felt like he got done dirty. His late-stage NJO/early LOTF arc was dope with the whole "learn every philosophy of the force and seek a unified understanding without dogma" thing. Felt like a good guy version of Kreia's relativism.

        It was pretty dope up until they wiped out the old EU. The fans of the books and comics aren't the same crowd as the movie fans. Like, there was the occasional problematic thing in there, such as people who would argue that the empire was justified given the small hints one particular author sprinkled in about Palps doing the whole thing because he knew about the upcoming extragalactic space barbarians that were gonna fuck everyone's shit up. The one new thing the rebooted lore does really well is having the Chiss explicitly standing sentinel againstsomething in the unknown regions, so if they do another Vong arc the imp defenders can't say it was the empire trying to do that.
