Perspective is everything

Of course, the Jedi didn't go around beheading people who didn't believe in the Force so, y'know, still the good guys. But it kinda makes you think.

Thanks for posting! I remember being very young--this was back when the Empire Strikes Back or the Return of the Jedi first came out, actually--and being floored by the comment that one person's freedom fighter is another's terrorist. I was just old enough to really take that in and see the Star Wars series differently.

Meanwhile, thanks for the recommendation of An Instance of the Fingerpost above? I'll have to check it out. What does it say that I immediately thought of Twitter when I saw that title? :) M.
