This is an interesting take on the Star Wars story.

Of note, the changes that George Lucas has made since the original has come out have had the effect of dehumanizing the troops of the Empire, in the original cut of Episode IV, you had Stormtroopers screaming as the fell, but now they are just a bunch of clone automatons.

I think that his idea was to make it more family friendly,^* but what it has really done is to remove any element of the basic costs and immorality of war from the story.

Now all the damage is done to robots and clones, who, after all, aren’t people.

This is why dumbed down child friendly pap is frequently not only, not child friendly, but actually immoral.

^*Much like he did in the infamous Christmas special.
