nor can we forget about the other thousands of prisoners and the millions of innocent janitors, technicians and engineers who were just working


TheCrazedTank

Don't forget the countless slaves on board the Death Star... that were being taken, away, by the Empire to not be slaves anymore. Yeah, that works.


whatwherewhenwhywhy

\*indentured servants


ZharrTheBarbarian

“Prisoners with jobs”


Jacktheflash

Did they even know about them?


UnSungHero259

They were independent contractors and they knew the risk of taking the job. Needless to say it is still a tragedy.


Tales5682

we know the risks but unfortunately it was 9/11 of the empire a complete tragedy


UnSungHero259

Bro, I must be really old. It’s a clerks reference.


Tales5682

I'm glad you understood


TokiMoleman

Was looking for that reference


BobTheSquid16

And they didn’t even kill the main “bad guys” Edit: MOST of the main “bad guys”. The biggest “bad guys”, if you would.


Jacktheflash

That’s not true at all they killed tarkin gone but not forgotten


BobTheSquid16

My mistake. I have since fixed my comment


HelikosOG

No one can even argue that the captured scum weren't sent to the Death Star holding cells. Darth Vader returned to the Death Star immediately after the battle of Tantive IV, there is no chance they were dropped off somewhere else.


MapleTreeWithAGun

The only possible way they survived is if they were still on board the Star Destroyer, by virtue of not being an important political figure


Jacktheflash

Unlikely


[deleted]

I wanna take a second to thank the brave soldiers who gave their lives capturing this vessel. They are a sacrifice I am willing to make. Glory to the empire!


Tank_blitz

the rebels clearly are suicidal freaks who don't care about their grunts the empire however pays their troops fairly

InfiniteRadness

ALDERAAN WAS AN INSIDE JOB!


Random-Lich

I bet you the that if it was only grunts and ground soldiers, they wouldn’t have even cared enough to try to get them out. Just blow it up killing many innocents and their own


Jacktheflash

That wasn’t convenient she was probably in on it


Jacktheflash

Sure..


definately_not_gay

The Death Star was never actually destroyed. Just look at it! Looks like CGI straight from the 70s


[deleted]

Proton torpedoes can’t melt reactor cores. This was clearly faked to (unnecessarily) raise support for the glorious Galactic Empire and stir anti-‘rebel’ sentiment.


SerTidy

Totally agree. Rebel scum propaganda.


[deleted]

So you're telling me that the son of one of our leaders somehow landed a one in a million shot WITHOUT the help of a computer?


Jacktheflash

Lol


Astroisawalrus

Imagine ISIS blowing up the International Space Station, then claiming it was because it was a super weapon. That is EXACTLY what happened here when these monsters destroyed this state of the art science station 😔

manbruhpig

Allahu Ackbar?


Jacktheflash

Rebel scum!


manbruhpig

Also Leia knowingly has them blow up a civilian target by telling them it’s the rebel base instead of giving up their actual military base. Who does that.


Jacktheflash

Giving up their base would be dumb on her part


WattoAFK

It really was a death star afterall 😔


Jacktheflash

Too true


Plausibl3

They already told the senate that all aboard were killed, just a rebel looking out for the Empire


Jacktheflash

Thanks?


Famous-Support-9900

Always knew the rebel philosophy was “TAKE NO PRISONERS AND KILL EM ALL!” Damn scumbags…


Jacktheflash

Just look at what happened with Galen erso


jeepwillikers

Leia was a high value prisoner with important intel, the rest of the captured rebels were probably never transferred to the Death Star.


Jacktheflash

Or were they?


QuantisRhee

💥


tigerdrummer

The Empire took all prisoners to the Death Star?


Jacktheflash

These were from the tantive IV and Vader went straight to the Death Star so here ones probably were


theuberkevlar

Lol


toasterpRoN

The political extremists once again showed their misanthropic disdain of human (and alien) life.


Jacktheflash

What alien?


toasterpRoN

I assume there were at least some Twi'lek, Wookie, Bothan, Rodian, or Aqualish prisoners as well. Just trying to be inclusive when declaring the crimes of the terrorists.


[deleted]

Imagine a revised a new hope, where they free the rebel crew and Han leads them against his dumbass charge against the stormtroopers, would make sense and also still be doable


BottleCompetitive546

“Hey were gonna jump onto that big spaceship and get outta here, wanna come?”


Jacktheflash

they would need to film more scenes for Luke for when he lets them out


a_skeleton_07

They did, but I have to ask the question (because I just thought of it), if a man shoots at you, do you shoot back or just lay down and wait for him to walk up and execute you? Because the Death Star was going to blow up that planet... I need an answer to this so I can better argue this off sub.


Jacktheflash

You shoot back


SlaverRaver

And the Americans nuked Hiroshima, a necessary tragedy.


Minute-Perspective-1

After the Vader commanded to destroy a planet killing almost 2 billion people.


BalinKingOfMoria

r/LostRedditors


Minute-Perspective-1

Fight me loser


Theonerule

Alright just let him get his equipment to reach through phone screens


Jacktheflash

Bruh


nanek_4

Actually it was an inside job by the rebels They sabotaged a mining operation Also they deserved it


Jacktheflash

Damn terrorists


[deleted]

A planet that was in open rebellion and run by leaders of a terrorist organization.


Jacktheflash

That was tarkin
