In fairness, said Disney Franchise also involved two geriatric men that unquestionably support weapons exports to a potentially genocidal state.

Yoda requisitioned the Clones that would one day assassinate the entire Jedi Order. If that's not a cryptic warning to future Biden Voters, as my man exports another $100B to Israel ultra-nationalists and Ukrainan Cool-Dudes-With-Swastika-Tattoos-We-Swear-Its-Not-Like-Afghanistan-They're-Cool-Bro-Trust-Us... Idk, man. Just don't be surprised if a couple of American office buildings spontaneously explode in another twenty years.

If you want an even deeper cut, consider that the OG Star Wars was a parable for the Vietnam War and the Emperor in this story was liberal Republican Gerald Ford. If you want an even deeper deep cut, don't ask which South Carolina Senator Joe Biden eulogized in 2003. Just try not to think about Yoda doing a tear-drenched wake for Darth Maul.

Literally none of this addresses the "support palpatine instead then" problem.

"Yoda and Biden are bad, actually"? Wow, you're very smart.

If I remember my Star Wars cannon correctly, Palpatine took office precisely because the prior Chancellor lost control of the largest business conglomerate and kicked off a civil war. The Jedi were fully behind Palpatine's ascent to power in Episode One and actively supporting his rule well into the Clone Wars TV series.

“Yoda and Biden are bad, actually”? Wow, you’re very smart.

Reject Obi Wan Ideology. Embrace Ahsoka Tano Thought.
