      It’s not stupid to question whether a series that randomly uses fascist imagery is actually saying anything coherent about fascism, man.

      You aren't engaging with the text of the film, though. You're just trying to find a contrary bit.

      The text of the film is contradictory. Refusing thermoan arguments doesn’t mean you’re not engaging w the text.

      It is not a "thermian argument" to say "ok, this is the actual text of the film, with no apparent Unreliable Narrator." People aren't saying "what if the stormtroopers are the Real Good Guys," which would be nonsense of the highest order.

      They're saying "we want the heroes to inspire the fash rank and file to turn on their masters, and are gravely disappointed the former child soldier quite sensibly says 'nah, I know these guys, they re all assholes. Fuck 'em.'"

      Space Fash who don't defect catching bullets (or blaster bolts as the case may be) is Good Actually, especially when we are explicitly showed that people totally can and have.

      But conditioning works on most people. That sucks, but it's also weirdly mature to say "you can't save 'em and don't have to prioritize saving them bc they were children once."

      The uncomfortable thing here is that drafting child soldiers is itself an atrocity but child soldiers are also associated with committing atrocities The reason child soldiers are a war crime isn't because they're ineffective, it's because they ARE effective

      Children are impressionable and cling to authority figures, it's easier to indoctrinate them into committing war crimes than adults That's why people do it

      YUP. I mean they're not the equals of adults in a stand up fight, but they're much easier to manipulate

      "Child soldiers" includes teenagers at the age of 16 or 17 so that's not necessarily true And guns really make physical strength and size a lot less relevant

          I seem to recall rl child soldiers tend to lose stand up fights due to less discipline. But that said, no, actually, physical fitness does still matter a lot for hauling kit.

          Notably most forces that use the classic sense of "child soldiers" are irregulars who use them for a mix of kidnapping new recruits and terror strikes.
