    She’s rich, so she knows that things are different for Anakin. Several genocides more later, and turns out she was right, he gets completely absolved and becomes a force ghost as a younger version of himself to boot. Something something dark side affluenza. The force is basically just another dimension to wealth inequality.

      “Midoclorians” is just another word for inheritance.

      I’ve seen much milder words being censored. Words that don’t even have any negative connotations.

      Maybe it’s to avoid getting buried in the algorithm on mainstream apps that avoid that word. It’s likely just a copy paste from one of those.

        “The algorithm” really doesn’t care about font changes.

        People’s grasp of modern computing is insanely outdated. Nobody does simple string matching at scale like in the ye olden forums.

        Any decently advanced system will “know” the words you black out or write in a weird font or with a modern expression like “unalive”

        Even with the consumer accessible multi-modal language models reading AND understanding th context of text in images is fully trivial

          Yet publications on TikTok with the word suicide get banned and deleted, while unalived do not.

          It’s true that they do know what the content is about, it’s just the politics of online social networks shaping communication.

          I’m not defending them, but arguably neither of the two in Star Wars being referenced here should be called that. Maybe the jedi one is, if we consider them a religious group and not a political one (debatable at the point of the attack), because it was a widespread extermination of them. The sand people one was just a mass murder though. There wasn’t a systemic extermination of the people, only a large retribution killing of a single group.

          Still though, they’re close enough that we all know what it’s talking about. It’s fine.

        Seems like a cowardly way of saying you want to ignore all the increasing number of genocides happening in the world.

            Well, considering that you’re refusing to provide any other interpretation, it’s the most probable one.

            Come on now, what do people here call a genocide that you think shouldn’t be called a genocide?

        Sure. Edit: the geonosians were genocided after the clone wars when they were used to start construction on the Death Star and genocided to hide it by the empire.

            I will never understand why the empire didn’t use captured b1 units as droid labor.

            Yes, they’re totally incompetent. But it’s either incompetence or intentional sabotage.

              Its because the best robot they could do in the 1980s was a guy in a gold suit or a wheelie bin.

                TPM was the 90’s, they started production in 1997, first in theaters in 99.

                and for the record, I was on my third FDM printer. or maybe my second. (depends if you count my dad’s inkjet that I strapped my mom’s hot glue gun to. Just for the record, I did ask if I could have the printer.))

                  The empire was only in the original trilogy, so for “the empire to use captured B1 battledroids” they would have needed to be on screen in the eighties.

      I imagine one is the sand-people tribe, that is arguably ok, and the other is the younglings murder that is a serious misuse of that word.

          I don’t think that’s a genocide though.

          Mostly because in the Star Wars universe you can’t really wipe out either the Jedi or the Sith. Both try to wipe the other out but haven’t succeedes whatsoever because they are extremely basic religious/philosophical positions: “The force exists to do ‘good’ (whatever ‘good’ is)” vs. “The force exists to make me strong”. Jedi are Jedi and Sith are Sith only because of those values plus some beaurocracy.

          Compare that to human religions where they first construct an extremely elaborate setting with a shitton of incorporated fanfiction to argue why they and only they are right and all others are wrong. That’s so much more complex, you’d have to stop believing in a billion different things if you were to switch religions.

          Tl;dr: It’s not genocide if I were to kill all philosophy students at my university because in my point of view their views are evil.

    He did at least 2 genocides in the movies before the OT, where he destroyed a planet with tarkin, but didn’t he do some genocidal things in the clone wars shows too?
