    somebody should make a starswar that’s the events of first three movies from the perspective of empire liberal media, maybe that would punch through the illiteracy.

      I’m honestly worried we’d have a bunch of libs coming away just believing the media in the show and completely missing the point lol

      has star wars shown any type of press or media at all in their universe? that’d actually make for a good show or something

        Rebels does, as did the Imperial campaign in the Rogue Squadron game. One of the characters is someone who unironicall supports the empire but wants to restore senatorial power, like the “Moderate” republican to Mon Mothma’s shitlib.

        Its implied she’s even more of a moral void than the outright fascists who at least openly want and revel in war and bloodshed.

        Rebels has things like Empire Day where there are parades etc and you see the average Imperial’s apathy.

        And andor has incel guy mall cop as a main character who buys the kool aid, of course

          There was also the shitty battlefront 2 story mode where you play as a stormtrooper special ops lady for like 3 missions before realising that committing genocide is bad when you’re told to do it to humans so defect to the rebels

        Not quite what you’re looking for, but I remember in that Han Solo movie that I saw a few years ago, that I reacted to how the Empire’s recruitment efforts used a major key version of the Imperial March.

          I love that we now have two diagetic “heroic” Imperial Marches which both do their own spin. There is the major key Solo one and the Rebels empire day one

        Yes, in many books from EU Holonet was mentioned to be republic(and empire)-wide instant communication network with functions like the TV and internet. Coverage and function varied from author to author though.

          it was a very 90s kinda internet, and none of the characters we followed were posters.

          one of the smarter things to not go into exhaustive detail about really.

            As it turned out, hard sci fi is obliterated by a test of time very quickly. But those with either no technobabble like Dune or completely asspulled one like Star Trek endure lol. SW also avoid it and fare pretty well.

      If you haven’t seen it, Troops is a classic Star Wars fan work (pre-prequels!) that tells the story of A New Hope from the point of view of the Stormtroopers, in the form of a Cops-like reality TV episode. (CW: contains comedic depictions of police violence)

        Didn’t several of the people who worked on that get hired for the Prequels and other Lucasfilm projects? I know George LOVED the fan film scene so it wouldnt be strange for that to happen

      Either it’s going to be serious like Nightcrawler and people think the guy hustling and spreading misinformation is based, or it’s going to be some comedy like The Office and people forget that they’re all cogs in the machine and it’s not supposed to be fun and wholesome.
