    There is no comparison. Israel is not an empire because it doesn’t have an emperor. Alderan was not given warning to evacuate. You can’t compare strategic bombing of Jawas with a kyber crystal-based WMD.

      Your main objection to the complete obliteration of Alderaan is… they weren’t given warning to evacuate?

      This provides even more insight into your thinking. That moment in the movie is meant to illuminate the lack of morals and remorse of those on the Death Star. And you say, “well they should have given them some time to leave. The complete destruction of their homes is fine though.”

        Obviously, the destruction of the planet was totally uncalled for. They should have been more strategic with their space lasers. This is an area that my people have better experience in than the Stormtroopers.
