New Star Wars is Masterfully Brilliant and a Stand Alone Masterpiece

[Smitty-48]

Making the Death Star into a harmless trading hub might be stretching.

I mean, they call it the Death Star, the Empire isn't really burying the lead on what it is for.

The "Death Star" is not its official name, It's officially the Project Stardust Orbital Battle Station, "Death Star" is simply rhetorical, y'know, like the way the US military gives its equipment aggressive sounding names. such as Spectre, Prowler, Intruder, Black Widow, Viper, Venom, Reaper, etc.

Fair enough. Still, Orbital Battle Station doesn't scream trading post. They didn't rhetorically call it the 'Bling Star.'

They could have called it the Pentagon, but it's sort of round rather than five sided, so that probably didn't occur to them, but Project Stardust hardly screams the headquarters of evil incarnate, you're just getting taken in by Rebel propaganda.

Is it possible that the new Star Wars movie is actually just a rebel alliance/ISIS style propaganda video?

Clearly the Hollywood SJW Alliance is going to try to whip up hysteria against Drumpf Vader any way they can, but when it comes to opening the borders up to let mystical religion terrorists run amok, they're all for it.

Since 'Stardust' was the name given to the project by a Rebel sympathizer, I reject your premise. Moff, Vader, the Emperor, et al, they knew what the Orbital Battle Station was for. Keeping peace in the outer rim with an absolute monopoly on destructive power.

What about Ziggy?

There was no rebellion when Erso named the project, he named it after his daughter, when he was a loyal servant of the Empire leading the team to build the superweapon to provide the state with that very monopoly on force.

He wasn't even the one who had qualms, it was his batshit crazy wife who went rogue, he only went off the reservation for her in the end.

I find that unlikely. He didn't make himself 'indispensable' to the Battle Station project until after he was kidnapped. Before that, he was just a scientist working on Kyber Crystals. Why would they have him naming military projects at that stage.

No sir, the code name Stardust was clearly applied after Erso rejected the Empire's authority.

You know what? I just looked it up on the Star Wars wiki, and the project wasn't even started by the Empire, the "Death Star" was a project begun under the "Republic Special Weapons Program", so not only was there no rebellion against it, it was Jedi who made the Death Star, Annakin Skywalker was simply staying on mission while the rest of those kooks went rogue terrorist organization against the state.

Bobby Oppenheimer said "I have become death, the destroyer of worlds" but he didn't mean "let's sabotage the Manhattan Project so the Bolsheviks can rule the galaxy."
