Leia made ableist remarks about a storm trooper once. Both sides are the same!

Plus, as a member of the Imperial Senate, she's obviously part of The Swamp that must be drained.

(I also hear she emigrated to Alderaan illegally.)

Also, look at her counsel. My brother's wife's hairdresser's mechanic said that there's very big questions about where Chewbacca's from. He hasn't even released his birth certificate!

Plus, he's, you know... one of them.

Why do you support terrorists?

The Empire has a right to defend itself

Those Rebel Terrorists were using human shields

The ones responsible for the destruction of Alderaan were those Rebel Terrorists, we gave a very humane 30 minute evacuation warning after all

The rebels destroyed Alderaan with their own superweapon they had been developing underground. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

OK, the Death Star did fire on Alderaan, but it was a targeted, focused strike that hit a rebel facility which caused their superweapon to explode and destroy the planet, the Empire had no idea that would happen. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

OK, the Death Star did destroy the planet, but the rebels were still developing a superweapon and even more people would've died otherwise. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

OK, the rebels weren't developing a superweapon on Alderaan, but the destruction of the planet were the actions of a rogue moff acting without approval. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

OK, the Emperor's right hand man was in the room when it was decided, but Emperor Palpatine has invited every surviving Alderaanian to his own private resort world, and they're also rebuilding with a new colony on Ejolus. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

OK, the colony on Ejolus has been wiped out, but they were harboring rebels. The Imperial Navy is the most moral force in the galaxy.

I know Vader choked the life out of the last person who questioned him, but I haven't seen Leia do enough challenging media interviews.

Spicy thread and I’m just going to go get my popcorn

No, you must participate! You're the reason this country is falling apart!!

'Princess' establishment chosen Lyin' Leiyah is clearly just trying to turn the empire back into the corrupt old Republic and force everyone to accept all aliens including the despicable Gran who don't deserve rights because they don't look or act like me. I heard she was even there when Alderaan was destroyed and did nothing.

Death Stars don't kill people. Traitors who won't give up the location of the secret Rebel base kill people.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

Vader's death Star may be pointing right at Yavin 4, but Leia doesn't want to support the rights of Yavin 4 natives so they're the same

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

Vader's spokesman said there was a floating planet of trash floating in space called Tatooine

She kissed her brother once and her father is a known criminal, open your eyes sheeple
