    Funny, I’d have said we’re closer to the new Star Wars cinematic trilogy than the EU.

    You think you’ve won, then a few years later, oh look, fascism is back and it’s killing people in job lots again.

      “Wow, I can’t believe it, after all that sacrifice, we’ve won against the fascist empire!”

      “Somehow Putrumpatine returned. :(”

      Honestly though, I think we’re seeing a lot of the prequel trilogy ring true, especially since it has a lot of similarities to historical empire corruption and collapse.

      Except the bad guys in government are ridiculously, cartoonishly obvious and don’t even need to hide anymore.
