Still a good deal.
War is not fair, war is not just and war is not pretty.
To win it you need to get your hands dirty.
Or be a conquered loser.
Soldiers, politicians, government officials and those with powerful links to a government are all fair game in a war.
Watch Startrek the next generation season 1 and 2 and the motion picture.
The starwars is a franchise about war and violence. That's is kind of its thing.
There is actually a parallel with the Waffen SS. Which is like the stormtrooper corps. A separate army based on political ideology and fanatism.
Yes you had some elite SS division who did fight well. But many of them where just methed up armed thugs good only for terrorising civilian and...
Exactly.
Syril walked away and he would be he sort of person the Rebellion would except with open arms. He immediately saw what was wrong.
Dedra was a moral coward who followed through. She is a war criminal.
Its like Rudolf Hess who decided in 1941 to leave the NAZIs and defect to the UK...
Imperial army unlike stormtroopers are just conscripts and desperate men like Han solo trying to escape poverty and desperation. Luke was going to join the Imperial academy simply to get off tattooine.
The Imperial army unlike stormtroopers seem rather competent, they nearly foiled the...
Dedra became a irredeemable war criminal the moment she gave Capatin Kaido the order to fire.
She directed responsible for a genocide. She past the point of no return.
That episode highlighted the difference between Syril and Dedra. Syril had the moral fortitude to say no and walk away...
I know which makes it even more sad.
They held it together well still despite deliberately being put into a situation no troop or police unit should be put in, even before the sniper took his shot.
Sending an isolated group out into a crowd like that's a bad move even with experienced...
Any feel sorry for those imperial army grunts?
Poor suckers were set up.
I think initially there showed remarkable restraint and proffesnalism right up to the point the sniper shot them. At that point I think any unit would panic and go to lethal force.
Captain Kaido the crisis specialist that organised the massacre. He was creepy. He was clearly a phyco who loved his job. where are Deedra didn't seem to take any pleasure in it you could see Kaido trying not to smile.
I don't think the empire expects or originally had in mind a full genocide.
I think they are hoping that after a bit of a roughing up, space France will submit to relocation.
However Space France wont meekly surrender and things will escalate to complete genocide which the empire will succeed...
Just realised. We never got the answer of a important question in season 1. Did Andors Girlfriend on Niamos ever get her Peezos and revnog, you know the greeny green one?
I think there is a book or spin off series in this. Talk about the ultimate victim of the Empires tyranny.
