Where are you going with this? There's a lot of directions you could take this meme and like half of them are problematic.

[-] CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago

Thats the point. Hence why votes are mixed. Engage bait is the point, and we both fell for it

? Anakin is a tinfoil hat wearer and Padme is the reader

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 35 points 2 years ago

I don't get it is it supposed to be anti-semitic

[-] winterayars@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 years ago

That's definitely where Anakin is going, at least.

[-] Perfide@reddthat.com 14 points 2 years ago

Anakin is, yes. Padme isn't.

My interpretation is that Lucas made it out to be entirely the evil Sith destroying an otherwise reasonable galactic social order. When in reality, fascism happens with no magic required.

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 years ago

Not at all IMO, the Sith simply took advantage of the evil inherent in the system. That’s part of why the Jedi were so blind to it.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

Lucas seems to grasp for that interpretation, but he's not politically savvy enough or a good enough writer to pull it off. Clone Wars fixes it.

[-] explodicle@local106.com 2 points 2 years ago

You're right of course. I phrased that poorly and meant my interpretation of the meme, not the movies.

[-] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

That was my interpretation
