The prequel films' need for Glup Shittos from the original trilogy forced them to make the Empire far younger than it should have been, and this constraint forced them to make the Republic basically the Empire already in all the ways that matter, and all the post-Revenge of the Sith media about the Clone Wars both doubles down on this, but is also runs into issues with the Jedi being knights in shining armor and peace and love hippies, and also generals in the Republic Wehrmacht. To make the Jedi and the Republic seem like real good guys, they have to make the CIS seem way more evil, and it ends up being a combination of the Confederate States of America and bunch of ethnic and racial boogeymen straight out of 50s sci-fi. The Japanese Nemoidians, the "Banking Clans", the insectoid Geonosians, the "human wave" Droid Army.

Star Wars is a giant mess of contradictions as a result of American ideology, corporate merchandising demands, and the inclusion of the Force, Jedi, and Sith, and in spite of all of that, it still ends up being a story about the Core Worlds' economic hegemony over the mid and outer rim and alien species, and reflective of the global structure of the capitalist economy we live in. It's only recently that the people writing new Star Wars started recognizing this and rehabilitating characters like Dooku.

The cigarettes also look sexual

But that's the purpose of the system

And then human support is intentionally understaffed (like every other job) resulting in long waits that also get people to give up.

Common sense legislation. The same should be in place for non-AI automated phone systems.

Y-yes, okay

These are all slop communities, they're doing the job of blocking a bunch of them for you.

"Nooooo, you can't pirate the game, you have to pay for it to support the developers!"

I wish people would post their ai slop on existing ai slop comms so I don't have to keep blocking new ones

That's kind of a long time to be imprisoned
