Teeth are just a dam that keeps that sweet, sweet Dew from flowing straight into my gullet, like the Good Lord intended.

I'm pretty anti-authoritarian/anti-theocracy, and fully agree with the previous post that the Jedi were pretty evil (or overwhelmingly stupid), but Order 66 was not a good thing. It was the act that allowed Palpatine to become a fascist dictator. At best it was just another lateral move, from one authoritarian government to another. At worst, it was the fall of a semi-democracy that gave rise to a fascist dictator.

Order 66 was not a good thing. Removing a bad thing isn't a good act if the thing that's replacing it is even worse. It wasn't an "act of mercy", it was basically genocide.

Sure, if you get the evil Galactic Empire.

But what if Palpatine was the ideal Philosopher King, according to Plato and many others it's literally the most perfect type of government that could be.

This and pizza toppings are the truly intractable topics of our time.

Let's face it. History is written by the victors. All that stuff about Palpatine?

Just Republic propaganda to justify their expensive and hateful wars of aggression.

Look, the Empire was two things that were frankly unforgivable and justified their toppling:
1) Excessively racist
2) Excessively British

Although notably, the Resistance were not fond of it themselves

If watching the Star Wars movies and I, Claudius taught me anything in the 80s, it's that all evil people speak with a British accent.

One of my favorite streamers is known to mix his alcohols with Mountain Dew.

I suspect you mean the 'rare old mountain dew', though.

Spoiler: The Rare Old Mountain Dew

Oh let the grasses grow and the waters flow
In a free and easy way
But give me enough of the rare old stuff
That's made near Galway Bay

Come gougers all from Donegal
Sligo and Leitrim too
And we'll give 'em the slip and we'll take a sip
Of the rare old Mountain Dew

There's a neat little still at the foot of the hill
And the smoke curls up to the sky
By a whiff of the smell you can plainly tell
That there's poitín, boys, close by

For it fills the air with a perfume rare
And betwixt both me and you
As home we roll, we'll drink a bowl
Or a bucketful of Mountain Dew

Whereas learned men as use the pen
Have written your praises high
That sweet poitín from Ireland green
That's made from wheat and rye

Go away with your pills, it'll cure all ills
For a Pagan, Christian or Jew
Take off your coat and grease your throat
With a bucketful of Mountain Dew

Let the grasses grow and the waters flow
In a free and easy way
Give me enough of the rare old stuff
That's made near Galway Bay

Come gougers all from Donegal
Sligo and Leitrim too
Well, we'll give 'em the slip and we'll take a sip
Of the rare old Mountain Dew

Are you my brother-in-law? If you are, you have to tell me. It's the law. My brother-in-law ticks all the boxes for the redneck stereotype. Including drinking Mountain Dew and Monster energy drinks exclusively.
