Tw Reference To The Holocaust - Tumblr Posts
I’m going to go out on a limb here and do a little theorizing.
Just like the reference to the real life Project Paperclip, with recruiting scientists that were part of Nazi Germany, we are seeing a reference to how medical knowledge obtained by the Nazis and Japanese through torture and brutal experiments to prisoners of war and captured civilians was later used by the Allies as the information was useful.
Most of our knowledge and understanding of hypothermia and the treatments for the different stages of hypothermia comes from these inhumane experiments.
The NR is making use of technology and techniques that the Empire can be seen a couple of different ways.
One: them trying to repurpose it to help people who might benefit from it in some way and have the best intentions.
Two: this is a situation the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.
Three: Mon Mothma signed off on this under false pretenses and because this is all happening on Coruscant and the NR is seated somewhere else it’s harder to make sure that nothing nefarious is going on.
Four: Mon Mothma was railroaded/pressured into it.
Five: a combo of all above.
As for giving the former Imperials numbers could go one of two ways.
One: make it harder for the remnants of the Empire to find them and attempt to either recruit them or kill them; or maybe even prevent vengeful people from killing them over what they did in the name of the Empire.
Two: it would hopefully prevent certain Imperials from finding each other and starting something by recruiting Imperials who might be swayed to their side,
This then could loop back to employing machines like the Mind Flayer as the NR now has the means to completely erase someone’s mind if they feel that one of the Imperials in the Amnesty Program might be trouble.
It might also a case of there being too many fires to put out that no one who cares enough about the former Imperials is asking enough questions about it or they don’t have the energy to ask/fight.
So chance in Mandalorian we got to see how corrupt and shitty the New Republic is. Will any aspects of that be present in Queens or Sands to help explain Leia's bitterness of how the future turned out?
I frankly don't know what I'm going to do with what we learned in the Mandalorian about how the New Republic worked. I mean, seriously???? The New Republic took their names and replaced it with numbers. WHAT THE FUCK!!!
Are the writers of this show aware that democracies can fall without becoming a fascist state? That, narratively speaking, there were other options? That you can show a government that is weak, but not evil? It's shitting writing and infuriating.
As if Leia wouldn't resign immediately over something like that. Like Mon, who is the HEAD of the New Republic at this point, would sign off on something like this. Even for Imperials. HOLY SHIT!!
