Have you read 10 Principles, Socialism of Our Style, or On the Juche Idea? Because it's they all explicitly reject class struggle, dialectical materialism, socialist internationalism, and worker's democracy.

It's not about making the heroes smart; it's about making them even remotely interesting.

depends on which definition of 'hero' we're using!

in the sense of straightforward pulp-y 'hero vs villain' though no there's no heroes in aotc doing the right thing, just people being led towards their own destruction by their moral failings (which is why aotc rules)

The question is in what sense.

re: the Ep 3 crawl, I figured the point there was that both sides had great warriors and also that the separatists were not fundamentally evil the way that, say, the Sith or the Empire are. Both were true (the seps were being heavily manipulated; Dooku and Grievous were strong fighters)

The word "hero" in the Episode 3 crawl is to be taken as the mythical, classical definitions of hero and not the pop culture definition of hero as "the good guy."

General Grevious is a hero.

quote:

Definition of hero
plural heroes
1 a :a mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability
b :an illustrious warrior
c :a person admired for achievements and noble qualities
d :one who shows great courage

2 a :the principal male character in a literary or dramatic work
b :the central figure in an event, period, or movement

Fans not understanding this is the most Star Wars fan thing to do.

The first order is basically like in a game of Starcraft 4v4 when you and your buds slowly wipe out 3 of the enemy but you haven't even seen the fourth yet until he suddenly shows up with max upgraded carriers and wins the game within 5 minutes...

Holy poo poo, if the First Order were based on North Korea in the 70s it would be vastly more interesting. Hux would be part of a movement of people who were tricked into believing that some Wookiee lieutenant defeated the Separatist Army.
