trouble isn’t that Palpatine is a dictator or that he has total control of the military. Our trouble is that, by and large—all exceptions aside—the citizens of our nation are willing to believe his lies, ignore his purges, and accept his rule in return for stability. They may not want him, but they don’t want war. They want anything but war, and Palpatine has boxed us in so that war appears to be the only way out.
