I feel compelled to make an interesting observation about the irony of this meme. First off, I’m not making any comment about the merits (I totally agree with this point, although not every part of this bigger argument) or demerits of the argument. However, aren’t the characters in the scene that this comes from literally taking the exact opposite positions? Vader has the legal power of the empire and has captured the rebels who are justifying their mission on non-legal, moral grounds.
