Very interesting thread. I'm curious what @AdmiralNick22 @admiraljello @eleventhirtyate and @chaosbria think?https://twitter.com/BretDevereaux/status/1305909431960506369 …

I think we're making a lot of big assumptions about a tiny slice of something
In this case, I'm analyzing a single text - the advertisement itself - as a short film on its own. As I note at the end, I'm reserving judgement on the final product until I know what is in it. But short ad films influence the culture too, not just final products.

I'm not worried about the Star Wars Squadrons narrative losing sight of who the bad guys are; it's fans who make that mistake, typically.

The short's article on http://StarWars.com addresses the balance of presenting the Empire as protagonists in half of the story without losing sight of the fact that they are the fascist baddies hellbent on total domination. It's definitely on their minds.

Yet you're contrasting it with the totality of the '94 TIE game, which is a gigantic narrative that has room for nuances the short doesn't. I understand why the short's tone rubs people the wrong way but I don't think it's fair to hold both to the same standards.

Honestly, I included the '94 game because I was sure if I didn't, people would demand comment on it. That said, the marketing of Tie-Fighter was ominous in tone, not heroic or tragic. The box art has a big, scary Darth Vader mask and it uses the imperial march heavily.
