A thought about the economy in star wars (original trilogy)
January 18, 2016 at 12:51 am
Since the political leaders during the first 3 movies were the empire they had the death star.
Because the death star was a large ship it would only make since that planets that supported
the empire would have their hand into the production and funding of it. If such a large ship
where to be destroyed that would take a fairly large toll on said planets. Not one but two
were destroyed along with the political leaders. With 2 death stars destroyed and no leaders
left alive their is no one to pay the bill for 2 death stars being destroyed. So that being said
the rebel faction just caused the galaxies greatest fumble.

Randal Graves: [talking about the second Death Star] A construction job of that magnitude would require a helluva lot more manpower than the Imperial army had to offer. I'll bet there were independent contractors working on that thing: plumbers, aluminum siders, roofers.
Dante Hicks: Not just Imperials, is what you're getting at...
Randal Graves: Exactly. In order to get it built quickly and quietly they'd hire anybody who could do the job. Do you think the average storm trooper knows how to install a toilet main? All they know is killing and white uniforms.
Dante Hicks: All right, so even if independent contractors are working on the Death Star, why are you uneasy with its destruction?
Randal Graves: All those innocent contractors hired to do a job were killed - casualties of a war they had nothing to do with.
[notices Dante's confusion]
Randal Graves: All right, look-you're a roofer, and some juicy government contract comes your way; you got the wife and kids and the two-story in suburbia - this is a government contract, which means all sorts of benefits. All of a sudden these left-wing militants blast you with lasers and wipe out everyone within a three-mile radius. You didn't ask for that. You have no personal politics. You're just trying to scrape out a living.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

That pretty much sums it up with the second death star they killed so many innocent people.

Not to mention wiping out all life on the Endor moon:

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Aw fuck, you beat me to it. I'll still post the video anyway.

The jedi aren't any better:
I can't seem to find it, but there's a pic somewhere advising Death Star trench Luke to ignore everything except the voices in his head.
