ohhh god my absolute least favorite thing the show does is put legitimate critique in the mouths of villains. Barriss and Slick, obvs, but also, like, Zygerrians and Trandoshans and, I'm really annoyed how they write the Separatists as these moustache-twirling villains? they could have discussed general grievous's backstory, and gone into how like. maybe. just maybe. the Separatists have a point. Sure they're sith puppets, but the actual people supporting the movement aren't blowing hot air!

i've heard it all a million times but i'm also always ready to kick it around some more :P

the really famous wwii movies tend to be extremely jingoistic, which is fitting for the tone TCW sets. GL might have applied them visually to the OT, but politically he was def going with the Viet Cong vs the US empire.
