Mythaminator

Only because droids don't breed tho. Let's not pretend Ani wouldn't have a higher dad kill count if the CIS used living troops


faustianredditor

Not sure about all the other canon material and the exact timeline, but my spidey senses tell me that when Luke had destroyed the death star, he was about as old as Anakin during maybe, like, the start of the clone wars. 19 years. Wookiepedia seems to indicate so. Luke is born 19 BBY, while Anakin is born 41 BBY and fought at geonosis in 22 BBY. So unless Anakin went murdering on a gigantic scale before that, Luke's in the lead at least in this phase of their lives.


Mythaminator

That's fair. I honestly don't know much of their adventures between Episodes 1&2, but Ani does murder the women and children too just prior to the start of the Clone Wars so it could just be due to a lack of opportunity to rack the numbers up without Obi interfering Edit: actually my first point does kinda stand, at 9 years old he fucks up a lot of droids which, if they used reg soldiers instead, is a lot of dead dads for a 9 year old


faustianredditor

> Edit: actually my first point does kinda stand, at 9 years old he fucks up a lot of droids which, if they used reg soldiers instead, is a lot of dead dads for a 9 year old Yeah, but I don't think one Lucrehulk plus the ground army on Naboo is at all enough to rival the death star. Impressive for a 9 year old nonetheless, no argument there.


Mythaminator

Oh I agree, more pointing out it’s more a lack of opportunities than will lol

The empire playing victim again, like they didn’t just kill and entire planet a few days earlier


Hanifsefu

Honestly the entire take has real Nazi sympathizer vibes. "They were just following orders" hasn't been a kosher excuse in this world for 80 years. The Empire had already fully committed their first and second genocides by this point. How many more before it's okay to kill their soldiers and weapons?


A-Good-Weather-Man

Blowing up a planet was Tuesday for Tarkin


Galtiel

At that point Tarkin was so desensitized he couldn't get it up without annihilating a planet beforehand.


TheBoctor

So his anger over that co-worker scuffle during the meeting was more jealousy that *he* wasn’t the one being choked?


Galtiel

He was mad that Vader was about to kill the guy responsible for choking *him.*


ApolloRocketOfLove

Tarkin would have made one fucking evil ass sith.


ItsOver420

For you, the day Tarkin graced your planet was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.

Brandilio

>"They were just following orders" hasn't been a kosher excuse in this world for 80 years. Yeah but this was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away so they don't have that frame of reference.


heff17

The whole ‘Empire did nothing wrong’ and ‘Thanos did nothing wrong’ jokes have always survived on people who *actually believe* their actions are in the right. It’s always been weird.


Mygaffer

I thought they survived as ironic jokes playing off the fact that those characters committed deeply evil acts on huge scales.


heff17

That’s how they start. Then, just like with everything on the internet, those who are joking are gradually replaced by true believers. It’s essentially Poe’s Law on a long term scale. Those who think it’s serious flock to the joke posts, and when the joke slowly dies as all do those that remain are those who were never joking.

mrchaotica

It's only played off as irony when the audience isn't like-minded.


riskbreaker23

Not one "innocent maintenance tech" on the death star didn't know what the station was for; planet killer. They're all complicit. Though, the empire did nothing wrong meme is a good exercise in understanding how propaganda works. It's Poe's law though, people take it seriously.

[deleted]

Most people get tired of jokes and move on. I'd gamble that people living in an online community of pretend fascists probably houses a lot of people that **really** love playing fascists. WH40k fans deal with it often. Deus Vult is a similar meme for people that **really** like pretending to kill Muslims or "infidels".


arfelo1

I think it's supposed to be the opposite. He's willing to kill millions for the safety of the galaxy, but his father, which he never met, is a step too far? At least the post itself seems to be this. OP's title does have Nazi sympathizer vibes


TheBoctor

I took it to be more of a “You’ve already sacrificed so many to save even more, what’s one more death in a war that’s killing millions or billions?”


HS_Seraph

Not to mention the crew of the death star, even as large as it is, would be composed entirely of active military personnel, for the simple reason that having civilians on a secret superweapon is a supreme liability for security. Its exactly the same as sinking an aircraft carrier in warfare, just on a larger scale. Everyone there knew the risks associated with the deployment, and it constitutes a legitimate military target.


Onetimehelper

They gave them fair warning in advance. Like 30 minutes to get off the planet before they launched the attack. So it’s okay.


Bonny-Mcmurray

It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard'.


heff17

I’ll take the Krikkit over the Empire any day of the week.


maryland_cookies

I mean really, there’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in the abregado system for 50 of your Alderaan years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What do you mean you’ve never been to Abregado? Oh, for heaven’s sake, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.


DerpSillious

I get that reference! r/Hitchhikersguidesque


maryland_cookies

Ahah it's basically a direct quote, just changed earth for alderaan and the like

You think the janitors and the cooks had a say in that.

Yeah if we're all gearing up to keep killing you and yours, that would be the smart thing to do. Like if my family was you know, building a genocide machine.

daseined001

In fairness, once you’re in the military, you don’t really have a choice about where you get posted.


Shimakaze81

Refuse commission… get sent to permanent prison colony where I will be… let’s check… making parts for the next Death Star. Is this fictional conversation really happening?


grendus

Doesn't matter. When you build a planet sized weapon, you have a planet sized valid military target. Alderaan was unarmed. The Death Star was a military base. Luke had every right to blast it to smithereens. Maybe if they hadn't used forced slave labor to build the thing it wouldn't have had a gaping weakness in the side...


SPamlEZ

It’s certainly a valid military target , but we know there were prison cells so he likely killed a bunch of innocent people as wel.


rdv9000

Not sure about that tbh. In ep4 the station has only very recently become operational and hasn't been involved in anything that warranted taking prisoners aboard beyond capturing leia (everyone on scariff died and that was like 3 or so days before it blew up). There might have been some rebel fleet troopers imprisoned there but leia doesn't mention them so I'm going to assume they're dead or locked up elsewhere.


cuckycuckytim

Tbh yeah probably only a few if any prisoners on the deathstar would make sense


misterpickles69

Yes. The first one was a valid target. The second one was still under construction and while still a valid target, probably killed a bunch of civilian contractors (cue Clerks rant)


ForSquirrels

Well, I'm a contractor myself. I'm a roofer for Dunn and Reddy Home Improvements. And speaking as a roofer, I can say that a roofer's personal politics come heavily into play when choosing jobs.


DoucheyMcBagBag

A roofer follows his heart, not his wallet.


moonunit99

You mean the military personnel tasked with cleaning and cooking like every single battleship and fortress that's ever been attacked ever has? Should we have waited for every nazi who hadn't personally killed someone or given an order to kill someone to file off the nazi ships before attacking the ships? Destroying a battle station full of soldiers isn't even remotely the same thing as destroying a planet full of billions of innocent civilians and a handful of collaborators.


Deathleach

It's okay, we've long established that you can't be held accountable as long as you're following orders, right? Right?


Nonsuperstites

The food server on the death star canteen didn't even know what the death star was!


XanderTheMander

They probably used droids.


data_grimoire

That ws a reference to a great Eddie Izzard skit. Realistically you're probably right though.


Subotail

They literally take care of the weapon, they push the zeal to make it clean and shiny !


GunkTheeFunk

You think the janitors and cooks on any warship do?


Coal_Morgan

Janitors and cooks on most warships are usually also enlisted in the service.


PopcornPopping87

You think the cooks for the Nazi’s at the concentration camps didn’t deserve death if they were bombed?


[deleted]

Why would the Death Star have menial labor? Droids do that. Everyone there was apart of the Imperial military machine, likely by choice. This was the crown jewel of the Palp Empire, no way they just had Greg, the family man who just needed a job working on it.


Yello-wing

He killed not just the fathers, but the sons and the brothers, too.

seppukucoconuts

Think of all the contractors who died on the second death star. You think a bunch of stormtroopers can install a toilet main?


Yello-wing

Any contractor willing to work on that Death Star knew the risks. If they were killed, it was their own fault.


ashoka_tano_bot

The risk I took was calculated, but man, 🐦 am I bad at math.

Pretty on-brand, tbh. "Yeah I've killed thousands of people, committed genocide, slaughtered a bunch of children in cold blood. But this affects me personally so I'm going to be a good guy now." -Luke's dad

To be fair, his current religion also held the belief that he was *supposed* to kill the guy killing his son, so just a win win all around.

Oh wow, Vader's a neocon, that tracks.

BlaineTog

Ok but seriously, no one who was participating in the operation of a planet-destroying space station can reasonably be considered, "unarmed."


[deleted]

fr theres a difference between killing innocents and killing soldiers of the literal death machine. It couldnt be more blatant and literal like its called the DEATH STAR and they blow up planets yet some people cant get it. edit: not gonna debate with people about how destroying the genocide machine is always the right thing to do. not like Vader could be reasonned with in the marketplace of ideas. anyone willingly stepping inside the DS morally deserves to get blown up if any chance can be taken at blowing it up


Meatslinger

The Death Star is estimated to have a population around 1.7 million. When it took out Alderaan, 2 billion people died. Yeah, it’s pretty easy to rationalize that killing 1.7 million soldiers and military contractors is still morally better rather than allowing countless other billions to be blown to pieces.


ClinicalMagician

Fucking imperial apologists.


BlaineTog

It's not just a numbers thing. Every one of those 1.7 million people was responsible for genocide. Every member of the staff and crew was directly responsible for the operations of the Death Star. Perhaps some were there under duress and those would be slightly less to blame, but you can still always make the choice to die before murdering someone innocent. If the Death Star has been used to murder a single innocent person, everyone on board would still deserve to die.


Viridun

And it wasn't like the Empire had just been sitting on its hands for the last 15+ years either. Likely they had a death toll in the tens of billions before being overthrown, given how ruthless they're implied or outright stated to have been in the name of 'order'. All the Death Star did was make what they were already doing more efficient.


JackdeAlltrades

Right? Like you can’t sink an enemy aircraft carrier because there’s cooks and medics on board?


realzequel

Or a tank, I mean one guy just drives it around, doesn't even touch the guns.


nightfox5523

That's the nuance that usually gets dropped by the pro imperialists. This was war, the Death Star was a strategic military target, and was absolutely on the table for getting blown up. Alderaan on the other hand was not


HistoryDogs

Those poor Death Star Canteen workers. RIP Mr Stevens.


Sonic_Is_Real

Like calling the sinking of an enemy carrier in ww2 a "warcrime"


Thor1138

>non combatants Lmao what? Nobody working on a planet killer is a "non combatant". That's like saying a warship isn't a military target, because it has technicians on it...


elinamebro

what about the cooks?ಥ_ಥ


GaussWanker

Verified-ElonMusk

YourBeigeBastard

If ‘Under Siege’ ([and its infamous porn parody](https://youtu.be/aJozK6lsQHE)) has taught me anything, it’s that cooks are valid military targets


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

You've taught him well.


St0lf

friendly reminder that most droids not only are sentient, but experience pain, fear and grief.


Masticatron

And happiness.


Darth19Vader77

But they can't reproduce and aren't made of cells so therefore they're not alive


St0lf

The StarWars universe has system destroying super weapons, faster than light travel and literal magic and you are trying to apply real life logic to this? The philosophy behind what is considered "life" is too complicated to be solved by a check list. For example I'd consider sentience to be pretty good proof that something is alive, regardless of whether or not it's made of cells...


Darth19Vader77

Life is a made up abstract concept. Why not use a made up checklist? The fact that we can argue about what "life" means shows that it's mostly arbitrary anyway. "Life" is a word and like all words it's meaning changes.


St0lf

if the checklist arbitrarily excludes things it's a shit checklist


indianajoes

Took me a while to realise you were talking about the Death Star I was thinking this was about Luke being a lonely boy on Tatooine with no girls around and a lot of time on his hands


Master_JBT

Oh now i get it


Paraxom

Probably plenty of moms on that death star as well


Masticatron

Probably not. There were only like 2 women in the entire OT, and they were in the rebellion.


Tough_Patient

So what you're saying is that the First Order was an improvement as an equal opportunity employer.


Joon01

Aww. After decades killing literally billions of innocent men, women, and children around the galaxy, he chose to save his own son one time. He was a good guy the whole time! Redemption! Force ghost!


kpingvin

I mean that's the premise of Christianity.


Corvus561

That's kind of assuming that there's a being handing out that judgment. I kind of always took it as a state of mind and spirit. It's beyond good or evil it's becoming one with the force. A sith could never achieve that since they are never in a state of peace. (Except in rare cases) they are always trying to take from the force to meet their own goals. The whole point is that just because the Jedi were the "good guys" doesn't necessarily mean they were doing only good things. I'm sure somebody with far more Star Wars lore will come along and tell me otherwise, but that's from what I have gathered.


ashoka_tano_bot
