    Technically, it was just the last french public execution. The last execution in france was in 1977, and they also used a gillotine

    Not because he didn't know how to do it or didn't believe in it but because he got into it then realized it wasn't worth the cost.

    Perhaps not a total lie per se, but just very embellished. Mainly by fans but he also seemed to encourage it at times.

    He was only that as a Sith Lord as well. Dooku's original Separatist ideas and that of the CIS were quite the opposite of the Sith plan.

    We had like 4 fucking elections because no one could form a government

    And of fucking course bibi managed to make one apear from thin fucking air(he is annoyingly good at politics)

    Okay but not only are these comparisons a pile of nonsensical shit, Thrawn as Putin especially is absolutely wild.

    Like, Thrawn is a representant of a rare species, a very artistic mind, an officer rather than an absolute leader, and he's always on the field. He's still a tyrant, but he's as different from the Russian dictator as you could be.

    I didn't know Mon Mothma was bankrolled by the Hutts and an enclave of Rakata trying to return to prominence but truth be told my Star Wars lore isn't the best.

    Also wait is Putin meant to be Krennic?

    Shouldn't Krennic be, idk. Xi or Erdogan?

    I believe they’re likening Putin to Grand Admiral Thrawn, a military genius from spin-off books and TV shows.

    Thrawn?

    Bruh that's giving him way too much credit. Krennic at least sat in that valley of just competent enough to not see key issues. Thrawn would be more... That Wagner dude.

    I mean Bibi is Dukku surely right?

    Like Israel needs the US far more than the other way around and it's clear when Trump no longer needs him he'll throw him away.

    That said Trump is more like The Emperor in the original draft if Star Wars.

    A hapless puppet manipulated by people behind the scenes

    I don't know a lot about Star Wars, I've only seen the first movie recently, but is the lady representing the Mexican president supposed to be good or evil?

    if she is supposed to be good I'll assume this person is stupid
