The Rebel Alliance Was NOT Environmentally Responsible

Oh yeah, sure:  The Rebel Alliance was environmentally responsible.  Riiiight.  I read your comments on the last post. 

Respectfully:  You're all idiots.  I don't mean this personally.  I'm just saying, that you, each, personally, are all idiots.

Folks, I'm not stupid over here.  I saw -- and many others did, too -- what Han Solo did in that cantina.  That place was a zoological treasure trove, and Han Solo just starting shooting. 

The place was teeming with biodiversity.  And Han Solo?  He.  Just .  Started.  Shooting.

As a result, at least one species (above) was rendered extinct.  Tragically, Solo's actions presaged, ultimately, the western-colonial mindset of pillage and wanton subdual. 

Darth Vader, on the other hand, is criticized for the energy expenditure of his unfortunately-named "Death Star."   But, as I noted, Al Gore would be proud:  Vader compensated for his carbon footprint by addressing pressing global issues on the planet Alderaan. 

By merely encouraging residents to shut off lights when exiting rooms, by recommending a switch to energy-saving lightbulbs, and by completely destroying the planet, carbon emissions were cut 100%.  Mission accomplished.

And here's an "inconvenient truth" for you, compadre:  That wasn't Darth Vader, dragging innocent taun-tauns into battle.  And did you see Darth Vader setting up his base, displacing native species, from a cave on Hoth?  No, you didn't see that. 

Huh.  You know why?  That wasn't Darth Vader doing that.  Well, gee, who was it, then?  Gosh...I just don't know.  Gee.  Gosh.  Who could it be?

I'm not stupid, folks.

Sheesh.
