Did Leia keep claiming she wants the most lethal military in the galaxy too?
She was a leading figure in a paramilitary organisation, both before and after the death of the emperor. So, maybe?
Yeah, you'd think that would be exactly what she wanted.
What do you think the United States is more like? A guerilla insurgency or a miltaristic empire imposing its will on the rest of society?
First one, then the other.
I think he was saying that the US began as am insurgency.
Good point and interpretation. Didn't think of the language as a progression in time instead of a ranking.
So Leia isn't a great analog. Maybe a Vader / Palpatine election would be closer to realityI misread that, hold up.
The United States of America spends more money on it's military than the next 10 countries COMBINED.
The United States has ~800 military bases all around the world in foreign countries.
This doesn't sound like an empire to you?
Well you're wrong
Leia was leader of the imperial police?
Y'all can't distinguish between movies and reality.
So the internet certainly tells me.
