Lit Anti-Alien bias, as an EU invention was it a good or bad idea ?

It makes sense, to justify the lack of diversity seen in the OT movies.

 

It also gives the Empire a more "Nazi" feel with the whole human supremacy thing.

 

Kenobi doesn't like droids either. He got that "grumpy old man" persona down at a very young age.

 

In regards the whole white, male and British it's probably because they filmed in the UK for the first two films. RTJ was filmed in North America so you can hear the Imperials start developing American accents.

It's not just the Imperials though, in the films Leia is highly disparaging of Chewie as a big walking carpet.

Though how you write it does put it in a better light as to whether it was a good idea.

For social systems I always looked more at Rome with the obvious parallels and the wasn't there a fued between two sets of monks in China which is the basis of the Jedi and Sith.

 

Technically none of those droids were his droids- they all belonged to the Temple, what with Jedi taking a vow of poverty and all.

 

A droid with Kenobi has the life expectancy of a Starfleet security officer with Kirk.

 

Yeah, because Wookiees are too stupid to figure out how to bend down! Animals.

 

Yup. I lean to the view that "If Lucas didn't want the Empire to feel Nazi-ish, he wouldn't have called its elite soldiers stormtroopers".

 

Being beaten up by Teddybears does not make you elite

 

They were the elite screw ups.

 

BS. Is it post hoc to claim droid bias based on Wuher?

 

Stormtroopers must be a german thing
In the movie Passchendaele, German troops apparently referred to a unit of Canadian crack troops as stormtroopers.
According to the movie anyway.

P.S.
These guys were in WW1, when the Nazis didn't even exist.

 

Please, do not compare anti-alienism to the Nazi regime...
It has nothing to do with it. Nazi has nothing to do with prosecutions. It simply stands for national socialism, a political form. Its leaders are to blame for the crimes that were commited.
It is just like communism, capitalism...
I think it is shortsighted to associate a political form with prosecutions.

Anti-alienism has to do with racism, a humain trait we have had for centuries and we will have for centuries to come.
I think introducing anti-alienism into the EU is not a bad idea. It makes it more realistic...

And yeah, I know some of you probably will not agree with my post.
I do not want to insult anyone. It is just my opinion. No disrespect!

 

"Where are you taking this...thing?"

Yes, Leia also had the walking carpet line, but she was from the Imperial Senate. It just goes to show how widespread such ideas were: after all, the empire did not create anti-alienism, just exploited it.

On a side note, I found Wuher's line odd even as a child. What would you serve a droid in a bar anyway?

Well spoken.

Makes you wish COMPNOR got more attention huh?


Maybe even some kind of story set in the Imperial Civil War and we get to see Stormtroopers vs Army Troopers vs Compforce.

 

And the Emperor as well?

 

There's also the decision to appoint ultra-racist Pitta to the Grand Admirals, and give him dungeon ships, which he used against the Outer Rim.

How much evidence does it take before we conclude that he was appointing these people on purpose?

 

Jello is just trolling

 

Sometimes it's hard to tell.

Anti-cyborg prejudice seemed to be a bigger thing in early Marvel SW than anti-alien.

 

I'm not entirely clear what you mean by "visual judgments", but I'm mostly talking about the guy in my picture on page one - you know, the one in the first movie who calls Chewie a thing. The helmet guys behind him don't exactly look like they're rushing to phone HR about it.
