A/V STAR WARS REBELS (show's over, spoilers allowed)

Yes, because choosing to live in a military installation called the Death Star is very healthy.

 

What was it called in Detours? I'm drawing a blank. A mall or something?

 

No one deserves to die and no one deserves to live on the Death Star.

 

Okay, what about the janitors and secretaries that just don't have the funds to find a way off? Death Star was taken out not long after Alderaan, it's not like they stuck around complicit for years.

addendum: also, Princess Leia was in the Death Star prior to sending squadrons to blow it up. With all the sneaking around her group did, you'd think they could have just sabotaged it.

 

don't they have droids for that ?

 

who cares. you ally yourself with evil, even if it is just a paycheck you deserve what you get. Luke did nothing wrong. The Death Star destroyed one of the most important and beautiful planets in the universe. IT HAD TO BE STOPPED!!

 

Necessity was blowing up the Death Star, which, whatever it was under whatever laws of warfare, was coming to kill them. The only chance of stopping it at that point was the thermal exhaust port. It was therefore necessary to kill everyone onboard. If there was another way of stopping the Death Star, the Rebels would have considered it. There was not. They only had a million in one chance, and they had to do it simply in order to survive.

As for the Rebels being non-state actors, that's the only thing that makes them a legitimate organisation. When there is a super-state spanning a galaxy, only organisations that operate outside it can be legitimate.

 

Guys, it's just a movie.

 

I stand corrected, it's also a failed Strategic Defense Initiative.

 

The coloring book is totes Legends now.

 

Which brings up the question, will Sabine use modern-day teen slang like "totes?" Oh, I hope not.

 

On the contrary, I hope she does. That would soooo make my month.

But she probably won't. That kind of slang really dates the medium, more so than animation or special effects ever could. In the 2020s, people will go around saying, "That is so 2014."

 

May I ask why?

 

zomg

 

#HateModernSlang

 

I just think it would hilarious. It's so at odds with the seriousness of Star Wars. Like that commercial where James Earl Jones reads emails with modern slang. Not something you expect to see. She is a teenager after all.

 

Because it'd be so wizard, duh.

 

Sabine: "So, like, Hera, if you could get me new paint bombs and some junk, that'd be totes cray-cray."

 

That's why you should always invent your own slang when using fictional characters.
