Content Warning: Expanding on topics in the post title, fictional coercion

As if the Star Wars fandom couldn’t get more

A 3+ million sub youtuber who has made their whole personality being a Star Wars-guy has not experienced or has no working memory of the original radio play(1981) that accompanied the og Star Wars where the interrogation of Leia is expanded in grisly detail. Wherein the movie the scene mercifully cuts to black with a door closing behind the torture droid with the scary needle, it appears it was always the intention to portray the scene and the writers had in mind what occurred off screen.

I’m not actually going to listen to it again. But the theme was present in the original movie and it’s even a little wild what you could get away with implying in a film and still keep a PG rating in 1977. But I guess I’m just trying to cancel Darth Vader.
