The DHS wants you to forget that Anakin Skywalker also got into fascism

Dark Vader is the villain in Star Wars. It is not to be discussed. Of course, during three films, he is finally bought. And yes, through subsequent films and television shows, these choices are somewhat humanized. But none of this can change that Vader violently murdered a lot, many people, then became the right man of a genocidal maniac determined to fold the galaxy to his will.

Earlier this year, a leading border patrol agent published a video from the end of Rogue One: A Star Wars storyDeporting his team like Vader, cutting out the helpless rebels, each named as a perceived problem: “Fake News”, “Fentanyl”, “Gang member”, etc. The involvement is the border patrol, like Vader, is a hero, saving the United States from all these problems. The real problem, however, is that Dark Vader is not a hero. He actually kills the characters who fight against evil and tyranny.

Which was published in May this year and, this week, was presented in a segment on Last week this evening with John Oliver on “the application of immigration”. Oliver joked on the video, saying: “OK, if I can quote an unbearable man during a first date of Bumble”, have you ever seen Star Wars? Because it’s pretty famous for the villain. Imagine how long you have to be morally to look at the most famous villain in cinematographic history murdering a lot of people, some of whom literally implore help, and think “it is so much!” “”

But this is not the wild. The wild part is that Oliver’s emission contacted the Ministry of Internal Security to comment on the video and really obtained an answer. “Do not spoil the intrigue, but like any Star Wars Fans know this, Dark Vader is also Anakin Skywalker, “said the DHS declaration.” I don’t think DHS should delight American public on Skywalker’s heroism, they know. You can watch Oliver deliver this news at 6:33 pm below.

Apart from the wild section to assume that the American public understands that Dark Vader is Anakin Skywalker and that Skywalker is a hero, there is a lot to unpack here. First of all, I would like to make them “delight the American public on the heroism of Skywalker”. Was it when he killed a bunch of children? Has strength smothered his wife? Cut a man’s head with two lasers? Or are they in fact, in a way, referring to its heroic exploits during Clone wars Animated series? In this show, yes, Anakin was a hero, but that does not change what happened next. You know, the subjugation of the whole galaxy by terror and violence. In addition, we would have guess most people who are not Star Wars Fans do not know any of this.

In addition, on an even more nerve note, they are “they know” a Empire steps back reference? It really wants to. Also, why “spoil the intrigue” something that worries him? Perhaps being less worried about spoiling the plots of the most famous films of all time and more worried about being just and human to American immigrants?

The American government has a long history of not really understanding Star Wars Coming back to the use by Ronald Reagan of the term in his defense platform. But this body must be one of the strangest and funniest.
