If it's just in good fun concerning the Star wars universe then fine.. I don't mind playing. A discussion into the morality of the acts committed by the rebel alliance would be somethig fun to take part in actually. But I'd appreciate it if you made it a branch thread where it can be discussed seperately as guys like Ryozorian are taking my comments and running in all sorts of directions with them as they try and relate it back to the main topic.
Again.. I only brought up star wars to describe the way in which the Germans and Japanese became caricatures of evil and the Allies caricatures of good.

I am not trying hard to do anything, I am just exploring an idea, and appreciate your indulgence.
I have separated this branch, by request, so we can talk the Star Wars aspect in regards to Japan and WWII without being accused of belittling serious issues by comparing it to a sci-fi movie series.
