    This is why the Dark Side remains such a persistent problem. The Force touches *all* life, not just the Force-sensitives. But the galaxy is a place of brutality, not peace. So the Dark definitely has an overall edge against the Light.

      Look, as long as humanoids don't destroy planets, or cause mass extinctions, or remove its life-generating features (e.g. if Coruscant used to have oceans), then the Force will let humanoids do what they please to each other. Heck, they can have a Death Star if it means destroying lifeless asteroids and rogue planets likely to collide with a life-giving planet.

    Luke and Leia kissing without knowing they're siblings is messed up, but that was more Obi-Wan's fault than Anakin's. Lying to Luke that Anakin and Vader were two separate people was awkward enough, but not telling him Leia was his sister was a real dropping the ball moment. Hell, he could've kept the half-lie going by saying they were siblings, but separated after Anakin "died" to keep them safe and eventually train as Jedi!

      Two siblings kissing without foreknowledge that they're siblings isn't that bad. Its just kind of embarrassing and awkward. I wouldn't even call it messed up. It's kind of funny actually. Ive heard that if from studies they've found that if you separate siblings from birth. They are more likely to be attracted to one another when they meet.

    The child Leia running scene could have been done in *heavy bushes* that completely obscure her and get in the face and physically block taller humanoids from getting through.
    In the wild it's a common tactic of smaller animals fleeing larger predators to run into scrub that they can slip through far easier.
    And on a alien planet setting up a area of vegetation ideally suited for a small child to run through while being a nightmare for a grown man to move through is "believable".
    There could have even been a moment where Leia runs into one of the small herbivores that made the gaps in the heavy foliage … it could be played for cuteness or jump shock depending on the animal.
    As well, various animals running would be cover and misdirection for the gang, even being hit by a stun shot (is it risky to stun a child - a taser on a 8 year old could be lethal) that was fired at movement.
    Such a scenario could give the impression that Leia is going to get away, and her actual capture then is a shock.

    There are lots of messed up things the Empire did. What about the "sterilization" of the Geonosians. That was slave labour & genocide all in one. And aside from people being worked to death, the rest were killed just to keep the death star a secret to be revealed at the proper moment. A similar logic was applied to Jedda city. Tarkin in general was just a fountain of abhorrent ideas and total overkill, with little benefit to his factions, but lots of negatives, even from a pure power preservation perspective. That is a major point in Star Wars. The Empire is so vile, people need to rebel, people have no choice but to rebel, even those that want to go about their business and would be fine nodding along with a more resonably evil dictatorship.

    Even Boba Fett wanted nothing to do with spice trading. :)
    The Jedi are supposed to be the goodguys but they take children from their parents (without the child being able to choose) and do not allow attachments. Attachments and love is something good in the world, but the jedi forbid it. That does kinda make them bad. Love and affection are a primary need for humans (adn probably many aliens as well), it is very unhealthy psychologically to NOT have this.
    It surprises me that even Luke (in Book of Boba Fett) follows this as he was very close to his friends in the original trilogy. In fact him caring for his friends made him stronger.
    Luke even became so messed up that he forced Grogu to choose between lightsaber and the gift from the Mandalorian. What happened to you Luke?
    So Star Wars in a way tells that it is bad to have love, attachments, friends and relationships, which is in fact evil and against human nature. It would make more sense for the Sith to practice this!

    I know that I have asked for some of these scenarii before but I don't care, I'm just going to keep sharing ideas.
    Could you do a video on the Thucydides trap please? The Clone Wars always looked like an example to me with the established power in the core wanting to silence and shush the emerging powers of the Rim wanting to leverage their economical growth into political influence.
    What if the Separatist council overthrew Dooku from the Separatist leadership? They realise that Dooku was tanking the Droid strategy and preventing the droids from swarming the Republic. Maybe the Neimodians link him to Darth Sidious and choose to betray him. The Separatists would be far better off without that Toxic Sith leadership. Plus if they can get Grievous to side with them they still have a Jedi killing general. Maybe Bec Lawise or Mina Bonteri can be elected leader. It would be interesting to see an unleashed confederacy and who would win internally between the Peace or the War faction. It would proabably be whoever the Separatist Council chooses. And more importantly once kicked out what do the Siths do. How would Sidious and Dooku deal with this new status quo? If Peace negociation were to be opened with the promise to never work with the Sith again, would the Jedis be open to secession and peace?
    Do we know what the public knew about the origin of the clones. Did they know where the clones came from? Or that a Jedi was responsible for the order 10 years before the war? What did the common people know and think about clones?
    What did happen to force sensitive children in the Confederacy. Did Dooku have a secret apprentice program?

We could probably start negociation for membership before they could even pass a resolution to send any force to our planet. The Republic was wonderfully inefficient. If they attack us with the Clone army, we're basically done in all out warfare, and will have to do some insurgent tactics to keep them occupied. The clones are great for attacking and holding small forst but it's doubtful that out of a few million, a significant force would be deployed on Earth, a relatively unimportant world with few resources or industrial bases. We could probably turn Earth into a Viet-Nam for them and simultaneously request membership in the confederacy of Indepedant systems. If we can get that then reinforcement would be coming.
