I love the plan.

“Hey, vaguely racist space Asians led by an alien named after Newt Gingrich who have a senate seat for some reason despite being a corporation or whatever. You know how you run a Trade Federation? You should launch a blockade, which is the opposite of trade.”

I don’t even think the dialogue is bad. They’re stupid dicks doomed to failure. The entire prequel trilogy is built around the protagonists being such bumblefucks that they destroy democracy in the entire galaxy for a generation. They’re morons! They speak and act as they should.

Palpatine is so great. I love the secret identity bullshit as Darth Sideous. My man fools the whole damn galaxy for like fifteen years by wearing a hoodie.

George Lucas is a man who has no idea what any actual government job *is* or *does*, yet he innately understands how liberal democracy devolves into fascism. Truly a remarkable mind.

Hell, the fall of our own damn country turned out to be this stupid. George was right and we were wrong.

Everyone who got into Star Wars as a kid has a favorite weird little guy. Mine is Mars Guo, my main from the N64 game 'Star Wars Episode I Racer.'
