:liberalism: My politics may have gotten a bit extreme for your taste
Who is Syril? Buttigieg?
Would actually be kind of cool if they did a Star Wars that takes place a few generations after the overthrow of the Empire and whatever the rebel alliance has turned into sucks and needs to be overthrown.
In the new canon Mon Mothma’s defining act as the first chancellor of the New Republic is to disarm the Galactic Military in the face of an obviously bellicose imperial remnant (who totally promises they aren’t interested in reconquering the galaxy), and then she promptly retires. This leads to individual systems militarizing themselves and then pledging support to the First Order, who easily destroy the New Republic at the first opportunity.
It almost seems like political satire, but no, it is just a hasty post hoc rationalization for returning to the A New Hope status quo.
She disarmed the space military then retired? She’d make a great mirror universe Pelosi
Didn’t he laugh and say she wasn’t when asked in another interview?
Wait, why is this in the dunk tank? Was Mothma secretly based in the eu or something? I would’ve though “Mon Mothma is a lib” would be a very lukewarm take around here.
