The whole fucking argument is that you don’t need relatable villains for a good movie.
Acknowledging that woobifying Vader happened later isn’t pedantic, it is the point.
You don’t have to empathize with Palpatine. He’s a manipulative dictator. You don’t have to empathize with Tarkin. You don’t really need to empathize with any of the generals Vader chokes in the original trilogy. You are not expected to wonder about the inner life and emotional state of the bounty hunters who must be told, “no disintegrations.”
It is fine for a movie to have bad guys who are just fucking bad guys. Sometimes - that’s how it is in real life.
Not even if you do it again about this comment. Can you imagine what it would be like if you’re just plain wrong about my internal state? Like maybe steering the conversation back to the other guy’s chosen topic isn’t right-or-wrong based on some numbers above each comment?

You completely miss the point of my comment.
Im sure you feel liberated by the upvotes.
Further sneering projection won’t help anyone.
