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!
DP stay dropping gems on retards who don’t understand his philosophical flyness…pause if necessary.
I always thought the rebels had bases and procured funds from mining. Think about it.
An advanced entitiy(The Empire) must have explored a whole lot in its earlir days. Why do they explore? Raw materials, primarily ores and what not(food stuff just isn’t entirely plausauble). Mines were established, and colonies around the mines grew.
When the mines ran out, the Empire left, leaving behind the mines to be used as bases. Except in the event that the planet can be used as a transport hub, I dont see a reason for the Empire to leave a strong presence in the area.
Notice that many(not all) of the rebel bases are on relativly dry planets. This would prevent the mines and the associated infrastructure from falling into too much disrepair over a period of millenia. They could have been used by the rebels, or smugglers, or anyone that had the guns to hold them.
As far as cash, sympathyzer are good to an extent, but to be sufficient I dont see the rebel alliance getting to far without having their hands deep in the smuggling game.
And keep in mind the alliance was an alliance. They were only a united front against the Empire. They could have easily had planets that had leadership that had dual loyalties to the empire and individual planetary interests.
But then again only the fan novels wouldget into shit like that
…Book of Eli
“…Book of Eli”… is going to suck
It’s “Man On Fire” meets “Mad Max” with the mysterious suit case from “Pulp Fiction”
IF it were any good it would be relaesed in December. January releases are rarley, if ever, any good.
Idk 6, I’m on that ‘Book of Eli’ bullshit myself. It’s time for Denzel to drop some heat, plus from the previews I’ve peeped, there seem to be some undertones to get the mind going.
January releases do usually suck, but I’m going to hold strong with this one.
The Star Wars trilogy was mos definitely a mirror to society, but as kids of course we didn’t see that. & as adults, unless you’re a fanboy, you don’t go back to glean those aspects. Y’all been going in, it’s time for me to break out the DVDs & re-watch them, sober.
Chuuuch! Get ’em dP!
Flix like “Book of Eli” always get my attention. But I’m totally expecting a twist from the book of Eli(jah). Like the title is already foretelling what the deal is.
“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”
any good leader wants things to be but not to good there must always be a problem. or make the people think there is a problem remember the book 1984 or the movie.
The Emperor secretly allowed the Rebel Alliance to form so he could flush out his enemies and the Empire dissenters in order to kill them. When they initially formed, he failed to kill them . . . particularly Bail Organa who helped fund the Alliance.
I’m with you on this post.
Following that up plenty of rebels were people who were royalty, old generals and so forth that joined the rebellion. More important were probably the species. Ackbars peeps were the ones that made those Captials ships the rebels had. If everything had been on lock with credits they might not have made it, but then you get the folks on the outskirts like Jabba who basically say, fuck yo credits. Russia is probably a great example…they broke as we rose and people all over could be all types of Russian army shit. The empire probably turned a few planets into Russia.
Also on Book of Eli…despite Denzel…Gary Oldman is always a great villain.
^^
Maybe it’s something about the name Gary…
Sinise & Busey are both good bad dudes as well.
& Gary Coleman scares the bejeezus out of me with consistency.
