Avatar ain’t got shit on groundbreaking special effects when you compare it to the paradigm in the sci-fi filmmaking genre. Star Wars is still the G.O.A.T. until someone can come up with a multiverse that mimics ours in social-politics the way this movie series has. The shit I love the most about Star Wars is that there is an economic system in place that requires credits in order to purchase shit. The Rebel Alliance wasn’t just running out of space trying to hide from the Emperor, they were also running out of money.
Think about this for a second, or better yet, just read this drop since this is something that I have thinking about on my own when I could have been doing something more productive like returning bottles and cans to stir up some change while I’m on holiday. How the hell did the rebels pay for all of that shit they had? Sure there were sympathizers across the galaxy like the rulers of Aldera’an, but wouldn’t the Galactic Empire make it hard to breathe on motherfuckers trying to amass an army? That is why the rebel fleet was all old and fuxed the fux up.
I have been trying to do an investigation on the source of the Rebel arms dealers since I believe that some of these defense contractors are making equipment for both the Galactic Empire and the Rebels. You do understand that is how shit works in real life right? While the Emperor was off getting his body cloned a few of those Grand Moff governors must have been undermining his shit. Or the defense contractor corporations themselves could have been on the take. Sheeeit, sounds like some shit that Esso Oil and General Electric have been known to pull off.
The starfighter pictured above is the escort class E-wing. Think of this ship as an evolved X-wing. It is faster, more maneuverable and has more firepower overall. The E-wing is made by the same company, InCom Corp., that manufactured the X-wing and its bulkier predecessor the ARC-170. The old Republic had a shitload of cash, or credits or whatever type of money they honored on Coruscant to have the fleet of ARC-170’s built, but who the fux put up the dough for the Rebels and their Snowspeeders and the heavy transports?
Do you think it was possible that the Rebellion was secretly funded by the Emperor himself with the idea that civil unrest strengthened his control over the galaxy? The Emperor was hell’a, hell’a smart. He was playing chess while everyone else was playing backgammon. The Emperor used the Hutts as his spies on the black market while he also hired a bunch of mystics to keep him appraised of what the fux was being cooked up in other people’s minds. The Star Wars epic was written like some interstellar Odyssey and that is why I still fux with this shit.
I might could trip on the absence of Black faces throughout this series and the insertion of the Gundar along with the name of the wookie homeworld being Kashyyk. Those were things that raised my eyebrows, but because Star Wars describes stories much larger than the simple pandering or exorcising of supremacy you have to really respect the story. I mean, honestly, don’t we all know R2-D2’s nationality? He was short, squat and stocky and he could fix any type of vehicle in the galaxy, plus no one could understand shit he said. For chrissakes he was called an astro-mexx droid!
