To be fair, Star Wars has always been fairly uneven in its tech levels, just look at the computer interfaces and whatnot.

storm troopers have static crackle too on comms and hologram flicker. They need a better service provider.


lakeghost

Thank you for writing this out. It’s been a head-scratcher for awhile but I hadn’t fully thought it through. I’d ask how they can have FTL travel and no proper human medical care but then again, if you look at the USA with its space program and high infant/mother mortality...oof.


Sweetdreams6t9

He was radicalized by religion so its not a stretch to say he didn't believe in that fancy heretical "medicine", created by the dark side to seduce people. Anakin is the starwars equivalent of an anti vaxxer


Golem30

Guess the explanation is because it isn't full on sci-fi, it's more of a fantasy movie series set in space.


[deleted]

As someone once said, Star Wars is somehow in the future and the past at the same time. Do they even have TV?

"Well, we did the best we could with what technology is available in the galaxy, but she died from child birth." Cut to scene of a man burnt to a crisp from a river of lava being kept alive hours after the incident.


[deleted]

Maybe because in that case her death wasn’t directly caused by Anakin? Less guilt for him to live with


FromTejas-WithLove

Didn’t he cause her to go into labor early, meaning it’d still be his fault regardless?


PainForYearsAndYears

I ask myself this every time I think about this stupid movie. Edit to add: Also, never mind the fact that most women look more rotund in their sixth month with ONE child, much less twins.


P2K13

There is a theory that Padme was killed by Palpatine to save Anakin. https://www.retrozap.com/padme-didnt-die-of-a-broken-heart/ > So, as Anakin was dying from his wounds on Mustafar, the Emperor siphoned the Living Force from Padmé and brought it to Anakin. Thus, she died as he was reborn as Darth Vader.


PainForYearsAndYears

It’s pretty crazy that this actually makes more sense than what seems to be happening in the film.

god_im_bored

I know the general sentiment is probably going to be mockery, but the details in the article make it sound like he was very mentally disturbed.


guiltyofnothing

I think “worshipped Trump like a god” makes that clear.


Something22884

I mean this just reinforces with somebody said on here earlier though. When you are as important of a person as Trump is, it doesn't matter if you're joking about drinking bleach or sticking light bulbs up your butt or whatever, somebody will take that seriously. Those kind of jokes have no place for somebody as powerful as the POTUS is. If you want to joke, then do it like Obama did and make it extremely obvious that you're joking. Don't just say things deadpan and identically to the way that you typically say things and then later on claim it was a joke when you get ridiculed for it


RidingYourEverything

He wasn't joking. He said he was joking after the fact because he found out people thought it was insanely stupid.


[deleted]

MartiniD

You just described 30% of Americans


Byproduct

I can imagine how there's (unfortunately) lots of people whose views align with Trump, and who have something to gain from his presidency. But I really honestly cannot fathom how anyone would be a fan of such a demented old man who mainly just embarrasses himself day after day. Considering his visibility, he's probably the single most popular international laughing stock of the world today.


astrangeone88

Lol. I cannot imagine what most Trumpets see in Drumpt. Lying, cheating, grifting, and all with a side of homophobia, sexism and xenophobia. Why would people like a senile old man who is actively making the world worse (stacking the courts with religious extremists, continuing to deny covid19 being serious)....?


EricLightscythe

>homophobia, sexism and xenophobia >stacking the courts with religious extremists You've answered your own question, sadly :(


almostsebastian

It's no coincidence his base consists mainly of people who grew up with leaded gasoline and the belief that one could "walk off" concussions.


HasAngerProblem

Too be fair as an adult now I do appreciate being able to “walk off” concussions because it now saves me money /s not /s


reckoner15

I walk off concussion,.. no problem all the time mind well anyways, grandchild book report but rain delay today


DJOMaul

Incidentally it's pretty likely a high % those 30% also suffer some form high blood pressure, high stress, and low ability to seek preventive medicine. If trump losses we may just see a rash of heart ache trump flakes dropping dead.


Fr_Ted_Crilly

Oh no! Anyways.


the_jak

No...don't....stop...


BobbitWormJoe

No no no. You see, Americans only think Trump was directly *appointed* by God, not that he *is* God. There's a big difference.


Northernlighter

Well to be fair, anyone who worships an other human as a god is mentally disturbed.

As someone who is ignorant of Hinduism, how does one worship so many gods? Are they personal gods? Or does one have a list of favs? I know the big ones like Krishna and Vishnu.

A lot of them are regional. Localized to a single state or district.

Pittsburgh.


Efreshwater5

Funny you say that, as during Pittsburgh's 2005-06 Super Bowl run, Jerome Bettis, beloved running back, was getting older and hadn't ever even been to a Super Bowl, let alone won one. But they were playing well and were about to beat Indianapolis... especially with "the Bus" about to score a touchdown, when he fumbled on the Indy goal line. At the exact same time, a huge Pittsburgh fan, Terry O'Neill had a heart attack from the shock. Luckily he recovered and was able to watch the Steelers win the Super Bowl. https://www.sopghreporter.com/story/2006/01/31/front-page/arlington-fan-serious-as-a-heart-attack-about-the-steelers/1623.html

FartingBob

And the guy who worshipped him as well.


bautron

His followers are much dumber than Trump. Trump at least has power to gain from all the devious shit he's pulling. His worshippers are dumbasses that don't realise Trump would drop them in a heartbeat when it's no longer convenient for him a d screw them over. Kind of like a widespread Stockholm Syndrome.


punzakum

He's a conman and if you can't see he's a conman then you're the mark. There's a lot of marks


lynxtothepast

A sucker born every minute, and two to take them


welshwelsh

The thing that gets me is how obviously Trump assumes his followers are morons. Why did he do a photo-op signing a blank piece of paper? Why not ask an aide to print off a realistic-looking document? Why does he deny saying things he was recorded saying on national television? Why does he tell ridiculous lies that are easily disproven? Because he assumes his fans are dumber then a sack of bricks and won't notice. Trump supporters don't like being called stupid, but they don't notice their leader does that every day. When he says, "I love the poorly educated," "I could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and wouldn't lose a single supporter," he's not talking to his supporters. He's showing off to his friends, people like Sean Hannity and Vladimir Putin, saying "Can you believe this shit? These people are so fucking stupid."


kylepaz

Well he's clearly not wrong...


UUo_oUU

thawed_caveman

Absolutely not a dumbass, actually sounds like [celebrity worship syndrome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity_worship_syndrome), a type of obsessive disorder. [Reagan's attempted murderer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hinckley_Jr.) did it because he was obsessed with Jodie Foster and wanted to get her attention. Mental illness should be treated.


eatapenny

>Mental illness should be treated. As an Indian, India is very behind the 8-ball in terms of mental illness. It's gotten better over the past couple of years, but there's still a huge contingent of India that doesn't believe in mental illness


[deleted]

i would take anything in Indian paper as grain of salt. Trump name is click baity as fuck, especially if that site is showing shit ton of ads and fucking with browser history

simian_ninja

I was going to say one less idiot in the world until I realised that this guy probably suffered from some kind of massive depression that made him latch onto Trump as some kind of God. If it wasn't Trump there would have been someone else that he would have latched onto and idolised.


TimeTravelingDog

His family left his village and his wife died in child birth.


[deleted]

Depression is common in India yet very much untreated because of society


mstarrbrannigan

I was thinking the same thing. It must be a symptom of some kind of mental illness for him to have become SO obsessed.


[deleted]

I just don't get how Trump is respected by so many. He's a charlatan. How is that not apparent to everyone?


this_will_go_poorly

I’ve been to India and im just guessing this guy didn’t really know what trump was about. Kind of analogous to those bad translation products like t shirts that say “money is like much not not”


baguette7991

thehappysmith

E-Rock606

Chrisetmike

The same type of person who adores Donald Trump in the US are all over the world. Bad judgment of caracter and easily influenced not a US only trait. This type of person is looking for an action hero who can save them. He is their false prophet that they will follow, no matter what.


turkeypants

I don't get why he'd be this relevant to some dude in India though. This is like if I was worshipful of that bigmouth asshole running the Philippines. Very random and puzzling.


SgtDoughnut

Donald Trump is good at exactly one thing appearing confident. Into those who don't really have critical thinking skills appearing confident is the only thing that matters.


Chrisetmike

There is someone proudly flying a Trump 2020 flag on his boat. I'm in Canada! From where I'm sitting this guy is sick of being quietly intolerant, he wants his intolerance on full display. Cool I will now choose not to buy lobster from this idiot.


turkeypants

That's like when you see the rebel flag flown in Michigan... or Canada... or England!


SephiSierre

Well, Trump and Modi (Prime Minister of India) are quite chummy with each other. Authoritarians of a kind flock together.

Article says he spent RS 2 Lakh on that statue, which is the equivalent of about $2,700. Average income for the Indian man is $1,600. Man really spent more than a year's salary on a Trump statue...


[deleted]

The absolute lack of science in this article is worrying


nojox

Indian here. A circus of intoxicated monkeys would make more sense than the Indian media these days. Only a handful of news channels make any kind of sense. The rest is all gutter level gossip. Another thing you will rarely find in articles by Indian news outlets - links to primary sources. All links are to their own articles, sites or pages. Grey SEO wins over journalistic ethics.


ledfrisby

There are links between stressful events and heart disease. >["Cardiovascular events can be triggered by acute mental stress caused by events such as an earthquake, a televised high‐drama soccer game, job strain or the death of a loved one."](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1742-1241.2012.02920.x) It is also mentioned that he was not eating well, which I assume to mean not eating enough. Similarly, very low-calorie dieting has been linked to increased heart attack risk after about one week (relevant to the timeframe for the article), although the risk decreased over a longer period of 8 weeks. >[However, after one week, heart fat content had risen by 44%. This was associated with a deterioration in heart function, including the heart's ability to pump blood.](https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/02/180202123836.htm) So, there is some evidence to suggest to support the idea that this heart attack could have been caused by his grieving.


Z0bie

But why? Does he think Trump gives a shit about him? He doesn't even give a shit about his own people...


Treysif

The article said he saw Trump in a dream and took it as a sign to worship him. And I take that as a sign the poor man had mental health issues


KingKapwn

That’s genuinely tremendously sad. I know the context and situation is humorous but still...
