Is this meant to be a parody? Like, I get the whole "Empire resembles fascist dictatorship" thing, but seriously? The Nazi salute is just basically saying "yep, we're going to stoop the lowest common denominator to hammer in the point" and shows they lack any form of creativity. Jesus Christ, Abrams.
Get fucked cunt I loved it and thought it was perfectly subtle imagery.

Is your IQ like 90? How the fuck would that be a subtle juxtaposition with clearly Wermacht uniforms?

It's not a nazi salute retard.
Still, sort of related, is the hail hydra salute the decidedly most shitty and lame salute of all time?

So lifting your hand up in support of something is a Nazi salute? You're really reaching here, Sup Forums.

a) that's not a nazi salute, salutes tend to look alike b) the crude allusions to 20th century icons are a big part of what made star wars appealing in the first place
i mean, good for you adopting a critical mindset at what i presume is a high school age, but not everything is bad just because people dumber than you are capable of understanding it.

Looks more like a black power salute tbqh fampai

TFA is pleb garbage just like all of Hollywood is now. They want to make $$$ and nothing else if you're expecting something good forget it. Making a genuinely good movie is too risky for these greedy Jews.
Daniel Young
The empire looked more like the Soviet Union than Nazi Germany anyway.
It was the EU that made them into anti-xeno nazis.
Samuel Lopez
What i like about this is that it makes people aware that there are alternative interpretations of the world and nature itself which are in sharp contrast to the reigning egalitarian status quo. The more people are aware that there's an alternative to the current system, the better.

Isn't that the black power fist?
The Empire is basically on the surface still officially a republic in the OT. I'd make sense if they did a Roman Salute.
However that they are doing isn't a Nazi/Roman salute.
Hunter Scott
But that's the Black Panthers salute. The Nazi one has an extended palm.
Aiden Hernandez
Reminder that the "Nazi salute" originated from America.
how could you try and connect that with a nazi salute nazi one if hand pointing straight and forward whilst this one is identical to the black rights salute which is clenched fist up
Chase Watson
Genuine retards.
Henry Bell
Nazi salute is raised to roughly 45° Roman salute is roughly parallel to the ground.
Who's the plebeian now?

Charles Allen
I don't see the problem Abrams is such a lovely hack he does not even realize that this movie literally proves the Empire Did nothing wrong
The Empire were brutes but if you were loyal to them you got rewarded with protection of their huge ass military and their institutions they kept the order
In TFA the Republic does not even offer the bare minimum of what it's supposed to do which is protect it's citizens, that era must be the greatest ever for space piracy and what not.
TFA is like implying removing Saddam Hussein was a good thing

JJ Abrams has a holocaust complex.

Star Wars: >uniforms that evoke images of fascism/nazism >old English actors chosen to evoke images of the british empire and colonialism >the leaders are a group of military leaders with no central cult of personality, evoking the images of generic junta

And the way TFA plays out proves the junta was for the better. Despite JJ being such a clown he does not realize it.

Except, you know, the fucking Emperor.
Brody Barnes
The Emperor did not paste himself into everything and put photographs of himself everywhere or statues he kept quite low
He was a uniting factor but the Empire was mostly run by Military Leaders
Colton Gonzalez
Its star wars for millenials everything needs to literally slap them in the face for them to get it
Kayden Walker
Yeah, in the original script. ESB and RotJ make it clear that the Emperor and Vader were at the very top of the chain of command. Those scenes of Vader casually murdering admirals weren't put in the movies for nothing.
Colton Miller
i mean they both blow up whole planets it seems to me that even if the empire wasn't quite as wantonly destructive as the new order or whatever it's called they're still well above the threshold of evil
Jack Robinson
>vader and the emperor at the top of the chain of command The Emperor yes, but vader no. Tarkin had more authority than Vader, and while vader was powerful, many admirals thought he was a loon but were too afraid to speak out. He was basically the emperor's retarded brother they had to bow to.
Christopher Green
>if the empire wasn't quite as wantonly destructive as the new order
They literally blew up Alderaan just to demonstrate the Death Star's power. At least the First Order was actively at war with the New Republic, it made sense for them to attack their capital planet.
Jaxson Smith
Vader was more like some Heinrich Himmler and Lavrentiy Beriya
Adrian Cook
Tarkin was only in-charge on the Death Star, because it was his project. After Tarkin's death Vader became in-charge of the entire Imperial fleet. He answered only to the Emperor.
John Cook
where you pulling this shit from
literally everyone apart from the emperor hangs on his every word in the movies
is this headcanon
Samuel Cox
>n just to demonstrate the Death Star's power.
No they didn't they picked out a planet which they knew was collaborating with their enemies and used that to show everybody else who would dare to rise up against them the consequences of their actions.
Kayden Barnes
When what's his face called Vader out and then proceeded to get force choked, he looked a bit around at the other people as if waiting for backup. He probably went in with the confidence that other people agreed with him. From that, I assume they've talked about it before among themselves and have had issues with the way vader does things.
Wyatt Adams
>used that to show everybody else who would dare to rise up against them the consequences of their actions.
well that sounds functionally identical to what he said
Dominic Brooks
My comment made no mention of Sup Forums, you idiot. I was pointing out how dumb those posts were for not recognising bait.
Well done for exposing yourself as an insecure manlet though kek. Jesus, man
Ryan Ross
Except the rebels weren't on Alderaan, Tarkin just decided to blow it up because Dantooine was too far away.
Oliver Gonzalez
>subtle I know you are baiting, but there are people that literally think like this.
Noah Foster
>Except the rebels weren't on Alderaan
The planets high command was openly collaborating with the Rebel Alliiance and the Empire made a example out of them.
Vader respected Tarkin though it wasn't him being a fuck up thing. Every officer Vader killed was because they fucked up and didn't respect their enemies. I still support first order don't give a shit. 19 years of peace is pretty good. I wouldn't mind seeing more rise of the empire lore like the raid on jedi temple, thank fuck Battlefront 2 exists.
I want a series where The Empire aren't displayed in such a cartoonishly evil light. I'd join up with em for damn sure. Wish we had more Finn doing stormtroop stuff because that intro scratched part of that itch but instead we get him being the traitor he is.
Anthony Jackson
The Roman Salute was never used in actual Rome.
