I think your viewpoint is naïve about human societies.

Powerful shadowy force user appears outta nowhere as the Emperor's right hand man, who just happens to be a kickass pilot and commands the personal legion of a clone wars hero who also happened to be a powerful force user and kickass pilot who had the Emperor's favor...

I know you think the Imperials are crapouts but come on.

I don't think the troops

I'm talking about the officers; captains and such. People high enough to know the office politics, that Anakin had the ear of the Chancellor.

For anyone in a senior role in the GAR, it wouldn't be surprising that Anakin sides with Palpatine, and that naturally the 501st serve Vader because they've always been his unit even when he was Anakin Skywalker.

And if enough of THEM know, then it becomes common knowledge by dint of gossip.

The GAR veterans would all know the significance of the 501st.

In the same sort of way that EVERYONE in the 1950's would know who Tony McAuliffe was.

Reva knows Vader is Anakin? I thought that shit wasn't common knowledge.

Define common knowledge.

Tarkin, Yularen, and Motti know. For that matter, all the officers who served in the GAR probably know.

What would it take for you to leave the internet?

Kids and a sexy wife.

Not when you realize you're limited to 10k in I-Bonds.

We're sure they were Taiwanese and not Kazuma Kiryu clones?

100+ Page Manifesto

Did it open with "My name is not important"?

Gonna take an industrial salt-moving operation.

SM really hates Andy Warhol.

I don't see why. Warhol knew he was making trash; and he did it as deliberately as a man filling a swimming pool with a septic truck. Because people would pay for it.

Andy Warhol was a troll, who's redeeming quality is that he knew full well he could sell people shit, and thought it was hilarious that they would pay him for shit and proudly hang it on the wall and brag about paying for shit.

Because two shuttles exploded and that apollo fire was pretty gruesome too.

"The most important part of rocket travel is the blast off. I always take a blast before I take off. OTHERWISE I WOULDN'T GET IN THAT THING!" -60's joke popularized by Bill Dana and Alan Shepard

In Germany, sure.

In Prague? Not so much.

Stephen Ford

They could get Francis Ford and I still wouldn't bother to watch it.

Virginia.

Too early. The initial shock and awe effect of the ruling itself will be overshadowed by the summer of rioting it will provoke. They lose more than they gain.

Okay, but were you ever going to march around setting shit on fire depending on what the outcome was?

Lithium is not consumed by the operation of a battery.

It is when it burns.

Birth rates are destiny.

Peak leftism has already happened.

"Statesmanship demands that the United States stand aside in watchful waiting, armed to the teeth, while these men exhaust themselves. Then the most powerful and potent nation in the world can talk to mankind with a voice that will be heard. If we get involved in this struggle we, too, will be exhausted and feeble."

-Herbert Hoover, June 29, 1941
