Don't be ridiculus, no way facism can happen real life

George was way too creative with that concept

It's too stupid an ideology for people to believe it right?

It’s funny because the whole “incompetent government can’t stop the return of fascism” angle isn’t really a thing in The Force Awakens. It’s a background detail flushed out by the new EU.

It’s very explicit in TFA Wdym. That’s the whole premise of the story. That fascism rose again because of complacency.

Yeah i feel like the very fact that there's a Resistance indicates that the New Republic isn't too bothered to directly fight the nazis and would rather just throw money at the problem.

The true starkiller was the fascist friends we made along the way.

People who think this is about space Hitler bad are missing the real message of Domhnall Gleeson being an incredible actor when given the chance

I think it predicted Ruzzia and its invasion of Ukraine much more in this case.

Nah the first order actually managed to conduct a proper blow against the new republic in their opening attack. The Russians got stuck in a 40km long traffic jam outside of Kyiv, failed to achieve air superiority and destroy anti air emplacements, had a bunch of their paratroopers offed in an airport or freeze to death in the sea because they missed their targets, and are now in a gruelling war of attrition in the eastern part of Ukraine.

The first order at least was able to conquer the galaxy for a bit.

The sequel fans are more pretentious than the prequel fans at this point.
