I get insulting Vader’s religion was a bad idea but wasn’t it also a bad idea to bring up religion in the workplace

the empire saved the galaxy from a weird religious cult that kidnapped children

>>213643235 (OP)
Take it to HR

>>213643235 (OP)
>I have altered the CoC, pray I don't alter it again

are American children really not allowed to pray in public schools?

>>213643235 (OP)
>would have been about 20 when the clone wars were in full swing and the jedi were conducting operations all around the galaxy

It would make sense if he was younger.

>>213643447
I assume they can during a Trump's announcement

>>213643447
Whether or not you can pray in school or work is irrelevant, it’s an HR nightmare to bring it up during a meeting.

>>213643467
At no point Motti said he doesn't believe in the Force. He just (accurately) pointed out that Vader keeps talking shit about his thetan levels, but regular mud people still managed to get away from him with datatapes, and he doesn't seem to be able to pull them back out of his hat.

>>213643235 (OP)
Moment before this scene, Tarkin walks in with:
>Emperor dissolved Imperial Senate
>Regional governors will now have direct control over their territories
>Fear will keep the local systems in-line
How is this sustainable at all? Theres no way the Empire would survive more than a generation or two.

>>213643447
>are American children really not allowed to pray in public schools?
No, why did you think that?

>>213644091
Feudal Europe survived just fine.

>>213644117
because the alternative would be kids praying in a non-faith school (guessing public school = state school in the US)

>>213643399
Actually kek'd at the idea of the Death Star actually having an a team of HR roasties among their staff

>>213643399
Thank god the Death Star blew up before Vader could get in trouble with HR

>>213644363
The title crawl calls it the EVIL EMPIRE. Of course it has HR roasties.

>>213643235 (OP)
One thing i love about star wars is a character can have 2 lines of dialogue and have a whole backstory around it.

>>213644091
>augustus has fissolved the senate. The first citizen now has direct control of the pro consuls, maintained thru our system of roads and highways.

>pssssh this system cant survive more than 2 generations

Who was Darth Vader supposed to be in the first movie? It's obvious he's below Tarkin in the chain of command. Not even sure he's part of the military. More like a hired hand. A samurai-wizard.

>>213644696
Special enforcer perhaps?

>>213644696
>It's obvious he's below Tarkin in the chain of command

This is only because he is on Tarkins ship. If they were at a cocktail party at the capital Vader would have more clout

>>213644696
Vader doesn't have an official military or political rank within the Empire. He is essentially the Emperor's enforcer and operates outside the formal chain of command. I would assume from the Jedi his "title" would be something like General.

>>213644696
Also vader was a sith apprentice. Its sorta vague how that would factor in to the hiarchy but vader is given command of the Executor in the 2nd film

>>213644433
In-universe that was written by these two Whills, AKCSHYUALLY.

>>213644091
>Fear will keep the local systems in-line
This was always retarded, if the Death Star is used lightly (like Tarkin's dumbass decision to blow up a core world just because some of its politicians supported the rebellion without the knowledge of its populace at large) then it will only send the entire galaxy, even relatively loyal systems, into a panicked frenzy of trying to destroy the station because "what if we are next?" and if the station is used only in extreme cases then it is not different than a fleet of Star Destroyers besides costing the empire morbillions more to build.

>>213644696
Vader’s power is entirely dependent on what the Emperor permits. In the first film, he was mostly a bystander—aside from his role in retrieving the stolen plans. But in the next movie, he had unlimited freedom, as long as his actions were tied to hunting down the Rebellion and capturing Luke Skywalker.

>>213645322
In truth it's purpous was to create mass fear and eternal rebellions, as the Emperor lives on fear, terror and misery. His end goal was to become a God Emperor by turning the entire universe in a dark side farm. The Shywalkers where to become his head priests, or host bodies if his cloning efforts failed.

>>213645322
This hinges on the notion that people would think they would have any chance of destroying the station. The Rebellion only had a chance because of the weakness, which no one else knew about.

>>213645322
Nobody in the galaxy could field a military that could take on the Death Star. Didn't you watch the prequels?

>>213645322
Tagge has some Rakata genes in him by the looks of it.

>>213643447
It's not a good idea. I'm a Christian but just do it at home. You let the normal kids pray to Christ you get the leftists mandating you let Rasheed Jr blow himself up in class too

>You're terrible, Anny

>>213643235 (OP)
there religion actually had powers.
when was the last time someone saw a miracle or met a saint in this modern world?

>>213644871
I hate everything about this

>>213645875
This morning when I looked in mirror after taking a piss

>>213645569
There are other ways to destroy it besides the exhaust port, an impact with something big enough either by directing it against the station or fucking with its navigation systems (like the Republic did to the Malevolence).

>>213645683
>what is Mon Cala and Corellia

>>213645719
Kek

>>213643235 (OP)
A Republic officer would have never said anything like this to a Jedi general. Why was Anakin ok with being insulted in this shot?

>>213644696
He’s a space Commissar. His ultimate power is dependent on what his superior is happy with him wielding, but in general he’s someone you’d have to be retarded to piss off.

>>213645569
>>213645683
Hell they could also build a laser of their own to destroy it like the Darksaber

>>213643235 (OP)
it stops being a silly religion the moment the believer is able to force choke me across the room. then it's 'yes, lord vader!' and 'at once, lord vader!'.

>>213646544
fuck, here he goes again

>>213645425
I don't even understand how the Old Republic or Imperial economy worked. Like how what are the resource constraints, who are the powerful classes, who are the producers and what do they produce, is there trade within the systems, is there an economy outside the Empire that they do business with, and how large is amount of money floating around in there.

I know its a just a glorified kids movie but with all the EU nonsense written out for years I assumed someone has broken all of this down.

>>213646792
ok GRRM

>>213644696
This >>213644829
He's not "below" Tarkin and has a direct line to the Emperor with a relative license to kill. But Tarkin is running the Death Star for the Emperor and Vader is on his battle station, so Vader plays nice and does what he's told (within reason)

>>213646824
GRRM would have no fucking clue, either. He'd just talk about it in an interview, make people think he is some worldbuilding genius, and then write the goofiest and shittiest possible worldbuilding in his actual book.
>But muh Aragorn's tax policy-
How about you try giving Westeros some linguistic realism before worrying about taxes, you fat retard.

>>213646986
Does that fat hack even talk about tax policy? Or is it just "ah shit lets borrow more money from the magical iron bank jews or marry into the richer house and don't ask how that house got rich"

>>213646792
>I know its a just a glorified kids movie but with all the EU nonsense written out for years I assumed someone has broken all of this down.
>breaking a galactic scale economy down

>>213646792
Yes, all of that is treated in the EU. You can read the wiki on literally every single aspect of the economy and industry if you want

>>213643235 (OP)
Not according to Darth Drumph. You can now have an annoying boss that can evangelize at work and ask to let Jesus come inside you.

>>213643303
>kidnapping children from the slave
technically they saved him
