From The Empire's point of view...I think The Death Star exploding would be pretty near to the 911 disaster.

Except a million times worse...I mean, in both Legends AND Canon The Death Star bankrupted The Empire...BUT they still turned it around with a major PR campaign, y'know painting The Rebels as even worse terrorists than they were before, trying to get the whole Empire wanting revenge, that kind of thing.

Worst terrorist attack in history.

@SW-User And The Death Star would be the worst Terrorist attack in Star Wars history.

Starkiller base is excluded however, as it didn't have civilians, The First Order is a military dictatorship first and foremost, with little to nothing invested in civilian infrastructure...they rely on what The New Republic had already put in place.

@Fangirlsarah1996 is just so easy to forget there are two sides to every story. 🙄

@SW-User Exactly...I mean everyone forgets the loyal Imperial citizens who lived for the Empire...who were dragged into a war because The Republic and The Jedi order, were incompetent enough not to see the galaxies greatest Sith Lord sitting across the table from them!

@Fangirlsarah1996 I'm glad someone sees it, thank you Sarah!

@SW-User You're welcome lol

But yeah it's strange how a story that was written by a guy that, in his own words says that he isn't good at dialogue, has one of the most complex, multi-layered stories in sci fi history.

I mean...a lot of the characters aren't really that evil...a lot aren't that good either...I mean, Han Solo flat out shoots a guy the first time we see him (Han Shot first motherfucker) and Vader was the one who beat the big bad guy, not Luke.

@Fangirlsarah1996 I know, it is crazy! The good guy is a stone cold killer and the bad guy is the hero that saves the day...whoa.

@SW-User This is still in the era of Hollywood where good and bad were VERY black and white...the grey area wasn't even a "thing" yet.
