No. NO!
Rebels are like the Americans who fought off the British, except in this analogy the British are way worse.
I bet you think it doesn't make sense that Han Solo did the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs too!
We've disagreed before Neo, but I've always held respect for you. How wrong I have been. How very wrong!
Mods? Are we going to allow this sort of nonsensical hate speech? OP supports killing younglings! Meesa don' like da way he speekas.

HERESY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I find the reviewers lack of Star Wars knowledge disturbing.
The Empire is a xenophobic and humanist centered society that believes in institutional slavery. And that's not even getting into execution without a trial stuff. And let's not also forget using weapons of Planetary Destruction thing.
I'm gonna count this article as a troll piece.

I dunno the Kanjiklub are a outlaw gang of bad guys. JJ Abrams casted Iko Iwas, Cecep Arif Rahman and Yayan Ruhian to play the main characters of the gang. Those guys are Certified bad asses. JJ putting those guys in a film to play tough guys is excellent. If anything will have quality to it, it will be their fight scenes. For a preview of what these guys can do simply watch The Raid 2. It's been said, and I agree, it has the greatest realistic fight scenes in movie history. apparently JJ watched the Raid 2 and said something like, holy crap that's the kinda live action fighting and weapon work I've been looking for. that's the real deal there. and immediately hired all three of the actors in the movie.
I haven't seen that movie but certainly will because of what you wrote. I am looking forward to see those guys in action. But you know as well as I that excellent fight scenes only do not make a great movie.

Heres another one:
The radicalization of Luke Skywalker: A Jedi's path to Jihad.
This time, however, they may find themselves surprised by how much the film’s characters and themes echo the current War On Terror.
A more focused study, however, is needed to truly understand that the Star Wars films are actually the story of the radicalization of Luke Skywalker. From introducing him to us in A New Hope (as a simple farm boy gazing into the Tatooine sunset), to his eventual transformation into the radicalized insurgent of Return of the Jedi (as one who sets his own father’s corpse on fire and celebrates the successful bombing of the Death Star), each film in the original trilogy is another step in Luke’s descent into terrorism. By carefully looking for the same signs governments and scholars use to detect radicalization, we can witness Luke’s dark journey into religious fundamentalism and extremism happen before our very eyes.
Obi Wan — a religious fanatic with a history of looking for young boys to recruit and teach an extreme interpretation of the Force — is practically salivating when he stumbles upon Luke, knowing he’s found a prime candidate for radicalization. Stahelski notes terror groups place a focus on depluralization, stripping away the recruit’s membership from all groups and isolating them to increase their susceptibility to terrorist messaging. Within moments of meeting Luke, Obi-Wan tells Luke he must abandon his family and join him, going so far as telling a shocking lie that the Empire killed Luke’s father, hoping to inspire Luke to a life of jihad.
Good LORD!
All I can say is I was glad I was just a kid when i first saw Star Wars.

The Raid 2 is hands down the greatest action movie ever made. It was so good I sat in the cinema with my jaw open in stunned silence for the entire 3 hours then went right back in after it finished and watched it again. It's brutal and incredibly violent but so awesome.
