This is going to be how the entire series wraps up. They are going to reveal we've been rooting for the wrong side this entire time.

BUT ACTUALLY! All the Empire wanted was a unified galaxy with rule. Was there much to the movies saying that the Empire were ruthless? Not from what I can recall.

The Rebel Alliance has all the hotties, though.

How do you know Vader is not the real hero? Maybe you're just misinterpreting the movies.

Come to think of it, have you ever seen a woman on the Empire's side? Add to that all the cloning and it makes you wonder....
Finally someone who gets this series!

➡R2D2 is a vacuum cleaner.

They're not.
The series is not about R2, though he and 3PO are the central characters. It's about slavery, set superficially in a heroic revolution saga.
Borrowed mostly from Asimov, robots are used to present a slaver society without the viewer noticing. Then it examines the roles of religion, government, revolution and so forth. R2 and 3PO are exact analogues of R. Giskard and R. Daneel Olivaw, respectively. R2 even has Giskard's power to tweak the minds of the living, for example at Yoda's hut on Dagobah.
This occurs within the context of an empire, so it's domestic. If they were outside of the empire, they would be foreign.
Theyre not domestic are they wrote:
These are wars fought over a galaxy with the rebel alliance made up of people from many planets and moons. And you're calling them 'domestic' terrorists?
The destruction of Alderaan is the same as the firebombing of Dresden or Tokyo during WWII. Those deaths are on Leia's conscience.
